In this episode, Ian speaks with NIH Lasker Clinical Scholar, Dr. Paule V. Joseph, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, about her experiences as a nurse scientist focused on the translation of basic science questions into practice. Her work specifically concentrates on chemosensory (taste and smell) dysfunction arising from metabolic conditions(i.e., obesity) , but she has a wealth of experience in every facet of clinical investigation, and simultaneously continues to practice as an advanced practice nurse, board certified in family practice. As she has become an impromptu mentor for Ian, he was extremely grateful to have the opportunity to interview her on the podcast. Please enjoy this invaluable episode.

In this episode, Ian reviews a 2016 paper in Diabetologia predicated on the self-care management of type 2 diabetes with a walking intervention aiming to evaluate 10-min. post-meal walks 3x/day compared to standard 30-min. walking advice for daily physical activity in an effort to control blood sugar levels.

In this episode, Ian had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Martha A. Dawson, DNP, RN, FACHE, an esteemed nurse executive, Associate Professor of nursing at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Dr. Dawson is a health administration expert and implementation researcher, and the current President/CEO of the National Black Nurses Association (NBNA). This inspirational interview describes Martha's dynamic journey through nursing and health administration into positions of leadership within the profession and concludes with poignant advice to budding nurses about their future careers as well as a gripping discussion on the need to improve diversity in the healthcare workforce.

In this episode, Ian speaks with Dr. Joshua Lea, DNP, MBA, CRNA, an Assistant Clinical Professor at Northeastern University's School of Nursing, about his research interests in occupational wellness and burnout amongst healthcare professionals and nurses in particular, including the importance and ramifications of this issue for both providers and for patients.

In this episode, Ian speaks with Dr. Maureen Moriarty, DNP, ANP, FAHS, a primary care headache specialist with a private practice in Maryland about her journey through academics and to becoming a principal investigator.

In this episode, Ian has a discussion with Dr. Susan Strobel, DNP, MPH, RN, Assistant Professor of Nursing and Public Health at University of South Dakota, about her experiences as a DNP-prepared clinical investigator and academic scholar. This is part one in a brief series called "Showcasing DNP Scholars." (If you know exceptional DNP-prepared nurse scientists or academicians, please send Ian an email at [email protected] nominating them for an interview! And if you are that DNP-prepared nurse, and you're interested to come on and talk about your journey, please send along that email!)

In this episode, Ian discusses the question of whether PI eligibility status is granted on the basis of having earned a PhD and what role a DNP-prepared investigator might serve in clinical research as a team lead. Furthermore, Ian describes the many avenues a DNP-trained professional nurse interested in pursuing an academic research career might go about trying to make this dream a reality.

In this episode, Ian describes what Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) is and what Participatory Action Research methods often look like when done comprehensively, and details just a few of the myriad ways it could be beneficial for nurse researchers to adopt as a methodology in their patient-oriented outcomes related scientific work.

In this episode, Ian speaks with Dr. D. Anthony Tolentino, PhD, RN-BC, a National Clinician Scholars Fellow at the University of Michigan School of Nursing about his experience working in health informatics as a nurse informaticist and gaining some insight not only into the types of methods and analyses Dr. Tolentino has used in his work (including computational ethnographic methods using Markov chain models and more) but also how he's become gripped by the problem of disaggregating health data for minoritized groups to improve self-management of disease. His particular population health focus is on type II diabetes outcomes in Filipino-Americans. Enjoy!
