On this episode of Advances in Care , host Erin Welsh and Dr. Craig Smith, Chair of the Department of Surgery and Surgeon-in-Chief at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia discuss the highlights of Dr. Smith’s 40+ year career as a cardiac surgeon and how the culture of Columbia has been a catalyst for innovation in cardiac care. Dr. Smith describes the excitement of helping to pioneer the institution’s heart transplant program in the 1980s, when it was just one of only three hospitals in the country practicing heart transplantation. Dr. Smith also explains how a unique collaboration with Columbia’s cardiology team led to the first of several groundbreaking trials, called PARTNER (Placement of AoRTic TraNscatheteR Valve), which paved the way for a monumental treatment for aortic stenosis — the most common heart valve disease that is lethal if left untreated. During the trial, Dr. Smith worked closely with Dr. Martin B. Leon, Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Chief Innovation Officer and the Director of the Cardiovascular Data Science Center for the Division of Cardiology. Their findings elevated TAVR, or transcatheter aortic valve replacement, to eventually become the gold-standard for aortic stenosis patients at all levels of illness severity and surgical risk. Today, an experienced team of specialists at Columbia treat TAVR patients with a combination of advancements including advanced replacement valve materials, three-dimensional and ECG imaging, and a personalized approach to cardiac care. Finally, Dr. Smith shares his thoughts on new frontiers of cardiac surgery, like the challenge of repairing the mitral and tricuspid valves, and the promising application of robotic surgery for complex, high-risk operations. He reflects on life after he retires from operating, and shares his observations of how NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia have evolved in the decades since he began his residency.

This episode looks at how the information and narratives that are being produced by the main involved actors are reaching the public through the media. We surveyed the public for their opinions and knowledge. We also asked all actors we talked to about how they felt they were being represented or able to reach the public. Finally, we discuss potential ways to improve responsiveness and understanding among stakeholders in the deep sea mining debate. What measures could facilitate better information sharing and communication to ensure all perspectives are fairly considered? The goal is to highlight paths forward for more open and adaptive decision-making on deep sea mining that accounts for multiple knowledge systems and viewpoints.

This episode will highlight the perspectives of those who are sounding alarms about the environmental risks. We'll sum up their concerns about the fragility of deep-sea ecosystems and the potential for irreversible damage from mining activities. Their narrative emphasizes the many unknowns and need for precaution given how little is understood about the impacts on marine biodiversity and vulnerable habitats on the seabed.

This episode explores the narrative put forth by some who see deep sea mining as an important opportunity to access critical mineral resources for renewable technologies and the green energy transition. Their perception of the opposed side will also be discussed. For comments or contact reach out to Eric Young Eric.Young@sintef.no…
In this episode, we'll provide background on the emerging industry of deep sea mining and why it has become a controversial topic. We'll explain what deep sea mining entails - extracting mineral deposits from the seabed in areas outside national jurisdictions. The potential benefits include accessing valuable metals and rare earth elements needed for green technologies like electric vehicles and wind turbines. However, environmental groups have raised concerns about the potential damage to fragile deep sea ecosystems that are still poorly understood. Norway recently became the first country to open up areas of its continental shelf to deep sea mineral activities, sparking intense debate between those prioritizing resource extraction for the green transition and those advocating more precaution to protect the marine environment.
