We once again revisit deadline extensions, we discuss warm demanders and how they avoid toxic rigor, we discover which arm is best for a vaccine booster, we find out if we can grow new auditory hair cells, we get tips on how to speak more effectively while wearing a mask, and learn about a new discovery about oxygen absorption in the intestines. Can we breathe through our anus? Listen to find out!

[Warm demanders] expect a great deal of their students, convince them of their own brilliance, and help them to reach their potential in a disciplined and structured environment. (Lisa Delpit)
Growing New Auditory Hair Cells
5.5 minutes
An optimistic headline suggesting that we can now cure neural hearing loss turns out to be less than Kevin expected. But still pretty cool. We are poised for a cure!
★ New tool to create hearing cells lost in aging (press release with subtitle, "'We have overcome a major hurdle' to restore hearing") AandP.info/v8i
★ Tbx2 is a master regulator of inner versus outer hair cell differentiation (research article in Nature) AandP.info/md7
Mask Talk: Loud, Slow, & Clear
5 minutes
As the academic conference season gets into full swing, we may find ourselves trying to communicate while wearing masks. I hope everyone will be wearing masks—except in online conferences. Kevin's experience in trying to hear conversations while hearing-impaired provides a few tips on effective communications while masked.
★ Let's Talk (Kevin's column in The Academic Author about tips on communicating while wearing a mask; Issue 2022:1) AandP.info/b1c

Which Arm for That Booster?
3 minutes
Which arm is best to get that vaccination booster? New evidence suggests that it's the same arm where you received your primary vaccination. Listen and find out the logic behind this strategy!
★ Recall of B cell memory depends on relative locations of prime and boost immunization (research article in Science Immunology) AandP.info/mf6
★ Revisiting A&P Learning Outcomes | Episode 54 (includes segment on recent research on the best time of day to get vaccinated)
Intestinal Breathing
4 minutes
Apparently mammals can absorb oxygen through the intestinal lining. At least that's what recent research shows. This could be a breakthrough for oxygenating blood in patients that cannot be artificially ventilated in other ways. But it's just kinda weird, isn't it?

The Master of Science in Human Anatomy & Physiology Instruction—the MS-HAPI—is a graduate program for A&P teachers, especially for those who already have a graduate/professional degree. A combination of science courses (enough to qualify you to teach at the college level) and courses in contemporary instructional practice, this program helps you be your best in both on-campus and remote teaching. Kevin Patton is a faculty member in this program at Northeast College of Health Sciences. Check it out!
Deadlines, Death, and Due Dates
13.5 minutes
Jerry Anzalone calls in with some thoughts on our previous discussion of extending student deadlines. And he even provides a Word Dissection of the term deadline, which turns out to be deadlier than we thought! Jerry suggests an alternative term (and why we may want one) and Kevin shares another alternative used by his friend Wendy Riggs.

Are You a Warm Demander?
14.5 minutes
Kevin shares a term new to him (but not to others)—warm demander. What is a warm demander? Is it something to avoid or aspire to? How does the term compare to toxic rigor?
