Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2025 Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Lecture • Unraveling the Metabolic Syndrome
Q: Do you think plastics in the diet and environment could be contributing to metabolic syndrome and obesity, and how do you see this affecting research priorities?
There is growing concern about environmental contributors like plastics, and I think it underscores the need for broad, multidisciplinary research and funding to untangle these factors from genetics and lifestyle.
2025 Ravdin Lecture – Future of Artificial Heart Innovation
Q: Did you have federal funding for any of this work?
Yes, we received $8 million in federal funding, but the majority was raised through private investments amounting to about $90 million.
2025 Ravdin Lecture – Future of Artificial Heart Innovation
Q: How are you looking at power source control?
We've designed the system to use inductive coupling, allowing us to transmit power through the skin without a driveline, greatly reducing infection risks while using significantly less power than previous models.
2025 Ravdin Lecture – Future of Artificial Heart Innovation
Q: How did you come to that morphology?
The morphology was inspired by the motor on the back of a river boat which is designed to chop through obstacles in the water without getting fouled.
2025 Churchill Lecture – Need for National Trauma Readiness
Q: How can we as pediatric surgeons help prepare and support our adult trauma colleagues and our military?
Pediatric surgeons need to develop a course that takes adult anatomy into account and ensure they are trained properly in the trauma context.
