The Bulletin

Meeting in Alaska, Selective IVF, and Smart Drugs in the Workplace

The Bulletin discusses Trump and Putin’s meeting, advances in IVF technology, and smart drugs to manage anxiety.

This week on The Bulletin, Mike Cosper and Clarissa Moll discuss President Trump and Vladimir Putin’s meeting in Alaska to talk about the war in Ukraine. Then, Mr. Trump chooses a new head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics after firing the previous head for an unfavorable jobs report. Why should Christians care? Next, advances in genome sequencing allow those going through IVF to select embryos without specific disabilities or medical conditions. Finally, Steve Cuss from the CT Media podcast Being Human joins the show to talk about smart drugs in the workplace and better ways to deal with anxiety at work.
