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 mathematical concepts that power 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.

Today on MediTalk I speak with Jon Marginis who is a Counselling Psychology Registrar practicing privately at Clear Health Psychology and is a Psychologist at Scotch College in Perth.

Jon has done a lot of work with children and teenagers but, also has a keen interest in working with adults.

I cannot imagine how frightening and shocking it must feel to be diagnosed with cancer. Not only are you needing to process your diagnosis but, then you are told by your specialist that the cancer treatment options available have the potential to often harm healthy tissue while treating a cancerous tumour. What I learnt recently from spending time with Crystal at Blue Dot Army is that there is a new type of radiation treatment available that can treat many types of tumours in the prostate, spine, brain, lungs, pancreas, head and neck which is so accurate & precise in the delivering of radiation that it can target & kill cancerous cells in real time while minimalizing radiation exposure to healthy tissues and organs that leads to less painful side effects & is extremely effective in treating cancer. Giving HOPE to people when they need it the most.

Today on MediTalk we speak with Neonatologist Dr Jo Colvin to learn more about neonatal care.

Incontinence 35:25

Did you know this week is 'World Continence Week'? It's time for us all to ask ourselves the following questions: Do you have to rush to use the toilet? Are you frequently nervous at the thought that you might lose control of your bladder or bowel? Do you wake up twice or more during the night to go to the toilet? Do you sometimes leak when you lift something heavy, sneeze, cough or laugh? Do you sometimes leak when you exercise or play sport? Do you strain to empty your bowel? Incontinence is defined as any accidental or involuntary loss of urine, bowel motion, or wind. Incontinence can affect children and adults of all ages, genders and cultural backgrounds. Incontinence is an extremely common condition, yet sadly many people suffer in silence being too embarrassed to seek help. According, to the Continence Foundation of Australia, over 5 million Australians have bladder or bowel control problems for a variety of reasons. To help us better understand continence I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Mary King - a Nurse Practitioner of 40 years who has specialised in this area of medicine. Mary diagnoses and manages continence - urology in people aged 18 - 100+ years at Sir Charles Gairdener Hospital, in Perth. I hope you have found this podcast episode of value and if you feel it can help others please share. Excellent resources to further your knowledge and ask for help with continence concerns reach out to Continence Foundation of Australia www.continence.org.au and your General Practitioner. If you have a few minutes to write a quick review on Apple Podcasts I would be most grateful. Thank you for taking the time to listen and support MeditalkPodcast.

Breast cancer treatments often involve a combination of radiation, surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy or targeted therapy. Radiation therapy for breast cancer can entail a number of visits, over a number of weeks. But what if I was to say, for suitable cases one targeted dose of radiotherapy can now be delivered directly into the breast, at the time a person is undergoing breast cancer surgery. Today on Meditalk we speak with Professor Saunders a Breast Cancer Surgeon from St John of God Hospital in Subiaco about Intraoperative Radiotherapy.

If you would have told me in January this year that by March people all around the world would be affected by a virus from a bat. Whereby, hundreds of thousands of lives would be lost and people’s livelihoods taken away from them and life as we know it would be significantly changed - I just wouldn’t have believed you! Some days it just feels so surreal that in such a short period of time human beings all around the world are experiencing so much change to our day to day lives, all at the same time. Well today on Meditalk I speak with Dr Astrid Arellano an Infectious Disease Specialist at St John of God Hospital in Subiaco, who will help us make sense of it all and provide us with some much needed practical advice & share her knowledge on what we now call COVID-19. In the interview Dr Arellano explains some of the terminology we are hearing in the media such as; 'flattening of the curve', what exactly does that mean and how does it affect us? Since COVID-19 we now see people at the shops wearing masks and gloves - should we all be doing this? And when you go to the shops can you become infected by COVID-19 buy handling of fruit, vegetables and items from the shelf & from the shopping trolley? Can we contract COVID-19 from our online deliveries? Can we contract COVID-19 from other animals like the family dog? Can you suffer from COVID-19 twice? Should we be having the flu shot this year? What is the treatment for COVID-19? How long before a vaccine? Why are some people suffering mild symptoms of COVID-19 and other people are fighting for their life in ICU? When will this virus end? If you want to attain some quality and practical information on COVID-19 please take the time to listen to Dr Arellano answer these questions and many more.
