In this episode of Getting2U, we take a closer look at HIV and Aging among Veterans, with a special focus on care within the Veterans Affairs (VA) health system. Co-hosts Peta-Gaye Tomlinson and Dante Gennaro are joined by Dr. Theddeus “Dr. Ted” Iheanacho, Associate Professor Adjunct of Psychiatry at Yale University, who brings deep expertise in psychiatry and veteran health.
Together, they explore the prevalence of HIV among Veterans receiving VA services, the VA’s approach to routine HIV testing and PrEP, and how VA policies compare to Connecticut’s opt-out HIV testing guidelines. The conversation also addresses confidentiality, partner notification, follow-up after new diagnoses, and the critical role of wraparound services- such as housing, mental health care, and substance use treatment- in supporting Veterans to achieve and maintain viral suppression.
This episode highlights the unique challenges and opportunities in HIV prevention and care for aging Veterans, offering valuable insights for healthcare professionals working to improve outcomes across this population.

In this keynote panel from the Yale Clean Energy Conference, we go beyond the surface of “green tech” to discuss the brutal realities of financing the energy transition. As policy support for clean energy wavers in America, we share how we navigate the shift from software-enabled “asset-light” technologies to the capital-intensive infrastructure needed to transform global industry.
We explore why the human side of venture capital is often more important than the technology itself , and how the next era of climate tech—Climate Tech 3.0—is being shaped by national security, industrial policy, and the massive power demands of AI.

💡 We answer the biggest questions facing the energy transition:
The Policy Exposure: We explain why we believe there is no way to invest in clean energy at scale without taking a specific policy point of view.
Management Over Math: We discuss why we look for agile management teams that can “roll with the punches” as the best way to de-risk a business.
The AI Opportunity: We explore how AI load growth is making grid optimization and behind-the-meter solutions more valuable than they have ever been.
Climate Tech 3.0: We define the next era where costs are falling, but technologies must have freestanding economics with minimal reliance on subsidies.
Breaking In: We offer candid advice for students, emphasizing specificity and the importance of building trust in a tough market.

As a researcher, author, and keynote speaker specializing in leadership and purpose, Zach Mercurio explores a question within everyday workplace interactions: Do people know that they matter? Drawing from years of research on purposeful leadership and human motivation, Zach reveals how small, interpersonal leadership behaviors—listening deeply, noticing effort, and showing genuine care—can transform performance, well-being, and trust. From the science of mattering to practical strategies leaders can apply immediately, Zach reframes leadership not as authority, but as the daily work of helping others feel significant, valued, and seen.
This episode offers powerful insight into leading with purpose, building cultures of belonging, and unlocking human potential by helping people know they truly matter.

Air Pollution

Last week, the government quietly decided fresh air is optional.
The EPA has stopped tracking the monetary public health costs of air pollution. This makes it much cheaper for businesses to pollute. This data is important because it shows how clean air safeguards keep our communities healthy and safe in terms of lives saved and healthcare costs avoided, putting public health benefits into economic terms.
