Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying math that powers modern machine learning to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives, even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

S3 Ep49: Side effects of radiotherapy in breast cancer treatment 7:48

منذ 29 weeks7:48

7:48

Hi friend, Today, we delve into the world of radiotherapy and explore its potential side effects. The majority of people tolerate radiotherapy well. However, like with most clinical treatments, there can be potential side effects. Short-term side effects of radiotherapy may include skin reactions, fatigue, and breast changes. Whilst long term side effects can range from changes in breast appearance, lymphoedema, and nerve damage, to rare risks such as angiosarcoma. In this episode, I cover all things related to this type of treatment. Radiotherapy can have its challenges, but modern techniques have minimised many of these issues. Remember, communication with your healthcare team is key. Hope you enjoy the episode. PS, if you want to learn more about how exercise can be beneficial in combating fatigue around breast cancer treatment, then I recommend you listen to this episode with Sarah Newman. Tasha x…

S3 Ep47: All about DCIS (ductal carcinoma insitu) - what happens if I don't treat it? 11:11

منذ 31 weeks11:11

11:11

Welcome back to "My Breast My Health," where we shed light on important topics related to breast health. In today's solo episode, we're delving into the world of DCIS, also known as ductal carcinoma in situ. We'll be tackling what it is, how it presents, the treatment options available, and the prognosis associated with it. DCIS is a non-invasive form of breast cancer, confined to the milk ducts and not spreading into the surrounding breast tissue. It often goes undetected without presenting symptoms and is usually identified through breast screening, such as mammograms. However, it can manifest through calcifications on mammograms, nipple discharge, or as a less common breast lump. As we navigate through this episode, we'll explore the diagnostic process, surgical and non-surgical treatment options, and the reasons behind treating a non-invasive condition. We'll also dive into the risk of recurrence following treatment and the crucial role of regular follow-up and maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-treatment. So if you've ever wondered about DCIS and its implications, stick around as we unpack its complexities and implications. And don't forget, you can always reach out to me on Instagram @DrTashaG with any questions or feedback. I hope you enjoy this episode!…

S3 Ep46: Learn about chemotherapy, its side effects and survivorship - with Dr D Dizon 42:22

منذ 32 weeks42:22

42:22

In this episode, I have a conversation with Dr. D Dizon, an oncologist who will be shedding light on an important topic that many breast cancer patients are apprehensive about – chemotherapy. Dr. Dizon is a professor of medicine and surgery at the prestigious Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. With a clinical focus on pelvic cancers, including those of the ovary, uterus, and cervix, Dr. Dizon also provides care for individuals with breast cancer and soft tissue sarcoma. Beyond his clinical practice, he has developed a special interest in survivorship, particularly in the area of sexuality after cancer, recognizing the unique challenges and needs of cancer survivors in their post-treatment journey. Dr. Dizon will delve into what chemotherapy is, how it works, and its role in treating different subtypes of breast cancer. We will learn about the advancements and new treatment options available, including targeted therapies and immunotherapy, that provide more personalized approaches for patients. We'll also be exploring the concept of survivorship and how it extends beyond just being cancer-free. Dr. Dizon will discuss the importance of addressing aspects like healthy lifestyles, sexuality, and nutrition for individuals with metastatic breast cancer through the Oncology Wellness Lifestyles and Survivorship Program offered at Brown University. Embracing the power of social media as a platform for education and advocacy, Dr. Dizon has made a significant impact by actively engaging with diverse audiences on various platforms, including Twitter and TikTok. Through these channels, he seeks to raise awareness, offer support, and share valuable insights to promote a greater understanding of cancer survivorship and the importance of addressing the holistic needs of individuals impacted by cancer. Join us as we unravel the truths and misconceptions about chemotherapy, learn about the latest developments in breast cancer treatment, and understand the significance of survivorship. Connect with Dr D Dizon on X (formerly Twitter), TikTok , Instagram, and LinkedIn . You can access CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians here .

Life is predictably unpredictable. Things happen randomly, unexpectedly, and out of our control. A breast cancer diagnosis for example is such a life event. Similarly, after breast cancer treatment has finished, you can't predict how you recover. You may find changes to the breast. You may be feeling certain symptoms that you are not particularly sure of. You may need support for your mental well-being. All of these don't happen on a particular day at a particular time. So, what happens when you do find unusual symptoms and need help? An open-access follow-up service may be the solution. This is an alternative way of following up with those who have finished treatment for their primary breast cancer. Instead of going to a follow-up clinic once a year, you can get support at a time that is suitable for you. In this episode, Kieva Noble who runs such a service discusses how an open-access follow-up service works. We talk about how she ensures the holistic needs of patients are addressed, who is eligible to join and what happens when someone does indeed need help and support. It was a great conversation, which I know you'll enjoy. Let me know what you think about this episode and all the others by saying hi to me on social media @DrTashaG. Happy listening. Tasha x…
