  • A great show with a great value

    I have been on both sides of the show: as a listener and recently, as a guest. Tjaša has the unique talent to prepare her show thoroughly by doing research on the subject matter and by asking the right questions at the right time. The value of FODH lies in a combination of guest quality, timing of the topic at hand and the way Tjaša steers the conversation toward a practical, tangible takeaway for a demanding and savvy audience.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

We're Overestimating Medical AI — and Underestimating the Harm (Jessica Morley, Yale)
Q: Are you concerned about AI or not? Where do you stand?
Morley argues for skeptical optimism: enthusiastic about specific helpful uses, but wary of an overall trajectory that may underplay harms and overestimate capabilities. She emphasizes needs-led, patient-centered design and cautions against deploying AI simply because data exist or because regulation pressures push for rapid adoption.
AI and mental health: Are smartphones and AI reshaping our brains; and our society? Marc D. Ritter
Q: How reversible are brain alterations caused by substantial smartphone use in children, and what does the current evidence suggest about long-term changes?
The brain is plastic and can change, but reversibility is still uncertain especially for long-term, heavy use; evidence is evolving and longitudinal data in this area is limited, so we cannot say definitively how reversible it is.
AI and mental health: Are smartphones and AI reshaping our brains; and our society? Marc D. Ritter
Q: Marc, what first drew you to study neuroscience in relation to online gaming and addiction, and how do you view society changing with technology in our environment?
I started from my own experiences with early tech use and noticing how it shifted from a habit to a compulsion, which led me to study the brain's reward systems and to found AWE Digital Wellness to help kids build healthier relationships with technology.
The Agentic Patient 1: ChatGPT as a triage layer for cancer patients
Q: How did you build and train your tailor-made GPT, and how long did it take?
He compiled thousands of papers, fed them into a custom GPT that did not browse the internet but used provided documents, and spent weeks refining prompts and cross-checking outputs with clinicians and his own research to align results with reality.
The Agentic Patient 1: ChatGPT as a triage layer for cancer patients
Q: What kind of prompts did you use to identify which papers to read first, and how detailed were you about your condition?
Initially, a broad prompt to identify papers related to his diagnosis yielded a long list; over time he learned to craft iterative prompts with guardrails, citing sources and ensuring relevance, but acknowledged that AI could misinterpret context without careful prompting.
