Scott Couch: Latest Developments From Nashville School Shooting
"Of new developments? It seems like every few minutes we're learning something new, one of the things I continue to believe is morning is we've got some new definitive information about how the head mistress at this school Catherine coons came out of her office, left a Zoom call to confront the shooter and was shot down outside her office, one of the metro council and here who serves that district and the connection inside the school also law enforcement background, provided that information initially, it was backed up by the chief of women's challenge break saying that, yeah, by the way, her body was down in the hallway. It appears that she has another hero stepped up to put herself in between pure evil and the children at her school. And then just a little while before we were preparing to come on, I learned from my office that the actress, Melissa Joan Hart, who I believe was just been a number of things, but that's Sabrina, the teenage witch was going to national television shows, lives in the area. She had her husband over on their way for a conference at their children's school, not the school, but nearby. And were among those who helped children cross busy. As they emerged from the Woods, being led by school personnel to escape that shooter and it's just one thing after another. And then late last night, we learned that our own governor Bill Lee had a personal connection to this tiny school of just a little over 200 students. The substitute teacher, misses peak, who was just there for the day, turns out she's a very close friend, close personal friend of our First Lady in Tennessee, and was to have dinner with the governor and his wife after a home after subbing at the school that day. And just the transit is just stuck in the compound and the heartbreak and all the people with personal connections to it. These things impact a community for a lifetime.

Should the Parthenon Marbles Be Returned to Greece?
"Number one for Eric. Do you believe the Parthenon marbles in the British Museum which Anna and I saw this in August should be returned to Greece? The Vatican are returning theirs, the answer is yes. You have to take these things in a case by case basis. But for people who don't understand what this is, when the Parthenon was built. This is one of the most magnificent. I mean, if you want to, it's kind of interesting. If you want to talk about how human beings don't change over the centuries. The idea that the ancient Greeks had the level of genius it took to create the Parthenon. If you've ever watched a documentary on it or read about it, it is absolutely astonishing. Absolutely. It really is, I won't go into it. But the crowning touch in a way literally was the sculptures on the pediment, they came to be known as the Elgin marbles. Now I actually write about this a little bit of my book as atheism dead. Because you can understand that 200 years ago agrees had fallen to the Turks, they really didn't have the ability to do anything about this. So when the British come in, they did this all over the, they did it all over the Middle East. They did it all over. You know, they were basically kind of like treasure seekers. And so they come to the Parthenon and they see these larger than life sculptures on the pediment and they think, hey, those would be nice to saw off and take home. There's no way I can do it justice in the time we have. But the point is they made a deal with the Turks, okay? Who were occupied? They were occupying Greece at the time. So it's like making a deal with the Nazis to steal Polish stuff, you know, while the Nazis are occupying Poland, like not right. So they took these marbles and again, I'm not doing it justice. These are some of the most magnificent sculptures in the history of the world. 25 centuries old. And they took them to the British Museum, where they are today. That has become a scandal. The world has changed Athens built a museum before they hosted the Olympics in Athens to house the marbles. They are now in a position to take care of them in a way that they hadn't been, so that's the shortest answer I can give.

Mini-Grids 101 With Erick Hersman, Co-Founder of Gridless
"To start out, Eric, I just want to talk about the mini grid economics. That was something that you and Peter talked about a decent amount, but I want a little bit more information out of you if I can. So I'm thinking about the cost to get these mini grids online, finding the location for them and keeping it running. My understanding is that you partner with people who have already built these things and you guys aren't necessarily building them yourselves, but just from working with those partners, what are the aspects you're looking at in order to get a mini grid site online? Yeah, thanks. So it's been really interesting. We've been having our crash course in energy training this last year and a half or so. And it's been interesting. It's been fun. And it's also been one of those educational experiences. So when we're dealing with mini grids, we're kind of on the edge of rural Africa that has the beginnings of electrification and not a great amount of usage yet. So if you think about it, there's 1.1 billion people around the world who don't have electricity. 600 million of them are in Africa. So over half. And that means that this continent has the most area still to be electrified, which is a massive opportunity, and Bitcoin mining is actually going to pay for that. Bitcoin mining pays for electricity to be pushed further out because the normal consumers and those locations don't actually have the usage and demand yet to use it all. And the economies of scale for a mini grid provider can be really, really, I guess, upsetting, if you're an investor, there's a tyranny of a small size problem, right? Which is, you know, you can have a mini grid and let's say a mini grid hydro is going in. He's going to put in 200 kW. It might cost him about $4000 per kilowatt to put that in. If he was put in two megawatts, it would cost him about a $1000 per kilowatt.

What made Beethoven sick? DNA from his hair offers clues
"Nearly 200 years after Ludwig van Beethoven's death, researchers are searching for clues about his health problems. The legendary German composer had hearing problems and severe stomach ailments, a new study says chronic drinking may have been a factor. You have to live a disease. And this seems to have developed over about the last 6 to 7 years of his life. His first inhabitants in 1821 were the tomb of the tack of jaundice quiz. Researcher Tristan baggett the University of Cambridge says they couldn't figure out what caused Beethoven's hearing loss. That seems to have had an onset in his mid to late 20s. It was a slow progressing form of hearing loss that appears to have been nerve related. Losing his hearing is believed to have limited Beethoven's creative work. He died at 56 researchers pulled genetic clues from Locke's Beethoven's hair that had been snipped off and preserved as keepsakes. I'm Ed Donahue.

Israel, Palestinians meet in Egypt to ease tensions
"Israeli and Palestinian officials are meeting in the Egyptian resort town of shamal Sheik. The talks may offer an opportunity to ease tensions between the sides and reign in a spiral of violence ahead of a sensitive holiday period beginning this week.

How Adversity Makes You Stronger
"You know, I get frustrated when I see people making excuses for black people. I get frustrated. It's like, how dare you think? That I'm too stupid to navigate this world. What makes you think that I'm too stupid and unaware to not realize that adversity is to my benefit, name somebody that's done some great that haven't had adversity. Name somebody, Elon Musk, one of the richest men in the world. Now obviously, obviously he's not the richest man in the world anymore. But he was worth 200 and some $1 billion, and he only owned like 20% of Tesla. 200 some $1 billion. Go look at his story. He was sleeping on the floor and his headquarters. So everybody could see. So they didn't know that he worked just as hard as anybody else. He said, 5 years, he didn't know what was going to happen. You go down a list of all these prominent companies, these businesses, they started from somewhere they had it versus they wanted to give up, but they never did. And that's not a detriment. That's not a oh, I'm a punk out and go cry in the corner and act like this country's been so bad to me because I had a little bit of adversity. It should make you stronger. I would argue that people that face adversity that you should be the strongest people in the United States of America. My father is a perfect example. I remember when he first got on a fire department here, this is the story he told us. He said that he had some discrimination. So I'm going to white guys didn't like the black guys on the police on the fire department. What if my daddy do? He didn't act like the social justice warriors of the day.

'The Fall of the FBI' With FBI Veteran Thomas Baker
"Talking to the author of the fall of the FBI how once great agency became a threat to democracy. Thomas baker, you were just telling us how what we now call Pfizer foreign intelligence surveillance act. Was abused obviously by those who were enemies of Donald Trump, very creepy, the way these kinds of things happen. Very smart people looking for loopholes and looking for ways to do things. They ought not to be able to do. So talk about that a little bit. What exactly happened? Remind us. Okay. Well, as I said before, the Pfizer act was initially a reform, and things operated rather well under it for a long time. What has happened, particularly after September 11th, it was loosened up and loosened up. At first, the Pfizer applications for monitoring each one had to be signed by the director of the FBI and then by the attorney general, Kim herself, and so this led to very carefully reviewing that and this one in the FBI went in effect when the judge William Webster was the FBI director. He had a team of law clerks, read every word in those. I mean, it had to be perfect. So I've got a lot of scrutiny. What's happened since then, this requirement has been loosened up and loosened up and loosened up so there's a whole wide range of officials who can approve these things. And from just two or 300 a year and by the way, these numbers do get disclosed publicly a year or so after the fact. So from just about 200 a year for a long time, have to September 11th to jumped up to a thousand a year, and now it's up in the past year or two to three and 4000 every year and we now know from the work of the DoJ inspector general that hundreds of these are being directed at U.S. citizens. Okay, so the point is to get permission for the FBI to spy to surveil American citizens. We have these fisa courts set up and what you're saying is that over time it became more and more abused until we now know that what happened with Trump before he even was elected or inaugurated that these kinds of things were being enacted, presumably at the behest of Obama and his people

The search and rescue operation has been hampered by heavy rains around the disaster sites as the weather has forced the search effort to be halted several times. I am Karen Chammas

China Accuses US of Aggression
"So as I explained in the last segment, our policies and behavior towards China has been anything much confrontational. In fact, it has been quite soft and cowardly. One of the biggest things that we did was just send 100 to 200 more troops to Taiwan. When I reported on that last week on my showtime, was someone wrote into me and said, I think you got that number wrong. And I said, no, I didn't. It's 100 to 200. So hardly anything to write home to mom about, but nevertheless, China is accusing us of aggression. And I was providing some examples of the many ways that China is the aggressor in the United States and towards other foreign powers. But back to what I was discussing, I was mentioning that in 2022, the Justice Department found and charged several Chinese Communist Party affiliates for planning to violently attack a U.S. House of representative candidate for New York's tenth congressional district named Jiang Yang. He is a Chinese American and during his campaign. He spoke out very harshly against the CCP and against communism and again these Chinese affiliates tried to target him and assassinate him and luckily it was uncovered, but just yet another example of China's aggression. I also mentioned that they have opened several overseas police stations around the world, including one in New York City. Chinese officials have said that this is necessary to provide quote unquote vital services for Chinese citizens living in the United States, but isn't that what an embassy does?

The Left Now Wants to Destroy the Suburbs
"Not content with a large degree, many of our inner cities. Not content with creating plantation style urban dependency. Not just in the ghetto, but also in the barrio and then in a rural equivalent on the American Indian reservations, not content with doing all that damage. The left now wants to destroy the suburbs. And they want to destroy the suburbs. They want to convert the suburbs, if you will, into the kind of urban plantations that they've created in the inner cities, and on the Indian reservations. Why? Because it pays political dividends. It brings political benefits to the democratic party. The Biden administration has issued new rules specifically 200 pages of new rules. And the rules require a quote equity plans. In hundreds and hundreds of suburbs around the country. Now, equity is the new mantra of the diversity equity and inclusion. It's a new mantra of critical race theory. It's that we don't want equality, and we don't even want equal treatment under the law. We want equity and equity here is defined as equal outcomes. What the Biden administration is doing is relying here on the fair housing act. Let's remember we had the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the fair housing law of 1968. The fair housing law is pretty innocuous. It says no discrimination in the sale rental and financing of dwellings. So the basic idea is that if you want to buy a house or rent a house, it's based upon the fact that you have enough money to do it. And if you have enough money, it can qualify for the mortgage. And you're willing to pay, then it doesn't matter whether you're a Christian or a Jew or a Hindu. It doesn't matter if you're a male or a female. It doesn't matter if you're a black or white or brown.

"Years and i finished Johnson nineteen. I wanted to be happy and have a good work life balance so i had met some people that were content hussein taffy and to have good work life balances and i decided to coding bootcamp side to that. And then i worked as a teaching fellow at that bootcam- while interviewed. He got a job at the january twenty. Starting in march of two thousand twenty working on march seventeenth twenty twenty. I was finally there. I wrote on boarding. They're they're really great and they're still great and i got promoted promoted. Are you sick. Software engineer engineer your two now so for engineering to shop. Yes season one episode five. You need to listen to nevada. Bailey's story so i think what was really like on spiring from that episode and then also just i mean again i i know you joe now but the fact that like you all seem to be would you say it's fair to characterize booth as not risk averse Yeah i mean. Definitely i think risk. I don't know i don't really like what is really like i'd be like a mom. Made us feel like things would work out. You know like and that makes you able to be brave and do things so you know like i wasn't happy in my job as a designer so i quit it. I didn't really have like another plan. I work as a barista for minimum wage in california And then eventually moved back to new york and decided to go to paramedic school you know and then turns out that doesn't pay well But i really like the job. So i also wanted to buy a house at some point so i had to make a plan to have more money and so You know. I don't yet but like sunday. Well i definitely do not have any more lake have way less money now after all that and no house so the so the bachelor degree does not translate to having a house now when you go into like one of the top institutions in the country. And you have to pay for it. Which loans knives. Maybe it will like. I don't know for me doing your now working as an engineer. And then you know. I would have a house by now for sure but i didn't and went to medical and went to one of the most expensive medical schools in the country and had to paper that well. When does it pay off. Because that's i mean that's a pretty common and i do have a. I do want to circle back to the brewery. But i think that's a common misconception that people have about doctors a lot of money. Yeah so when when lebron eventually yeah so that it's when you're done with your training and but the whole thing is that in the meat so you make money not a lot but you make money as a resident is a job and you make money as a fellow you get a like definitely livable wage. I am not struggling at all that my days of meeting to eat rahman are over. I just like it. And so i still eat it but I have i have student loans for medical school however doctors are great investments. And so people wanna give us mortgages and car loans and like all kinds of credit cards and all kinds of stuff because they know that first of all we signed contracts so like. We're gonna finish training barring some catastrophe and then when we finish training where i make more money. So we're you know all these businesses that think that we're going to spend money with them if they invest in us when we're not making that much money. They hope that will give them more money when we have it. And so you still can like you know. I still had a mortgage during residency. Did by place and you know. I had a car. Had car payments like functioned as regular adult that like had a salary and could buy things But i'm not sleeping on a mattress of money like many people think doctors do. I don't necessarily think that will ever happen But i'll definitely make probably like. I know four or five times more than making now in the year and a half just like in year and a half yet job. Yep does all of a sudden. So what i wanted to focus on the fact that you won't you mentioned bravery yourself and you know the the risk the the risk friendliness or the bravery that you all have like does that come from and how are you able to. How are you thinking about in particular eugene. Because i know you said no antonio's fourteen months old but thinking about how you're going to instill that in instill that in your your children. I feel like by example like our mom always made us feel like we can do whatever we set our minds to do and we have done that because she did it. Like a small town in west virginia and she wanted to get away from there to go to college and she did dementia like on her own. Yeah like it was. Her parents needed repairs at a college education and she went to offer phd. So i that's cool. And then she was like i'm gonna live in new york city which is not an easy city to live in and she did that. Do do you all think You know we are almost a year from george floyd staff almost a year. What do you think has changed. I am in Hospitals and the inertia of this of the professional healthcare field is really difficult to overcome. There's there are definitely Efforts by my various employers over the past few years to change the culture. But like there's more are. I don't know there's different issues. Different pressing issues in the obviously like our immediate worlds like pandemic or like taking care of sick people or whatever it is that you're doing as a specialty so i think it's hard for me to see what's changing in the world because i'm so surround unlike in this bubble and i spent so much time in this bubble that it's hard to even know like what's happening in the news. I was just trying to read about what's happening in israel and palestine and it's like hard to keep up with like things that changed day to day when it's groundhog day over here. You know like and. I spent so many hours in the hospital. It's hard to keep track of what's going on and outside world so Things have changed here like things have changed in the hospital Were told like not to make any mandatory meetings on june team by email. And i was like whoa. It's not a national holiday. But like that school the recognizing it as an day. That's into some of its employees. And you know. I'm at academic institution so i.

In mike whatever identity they have Or like whoever they wanna be. I hope that they will want. They will continue to be a good person And then definitely like supporting interests is important to you and my mom did that. You know joe now before Being a surgery fellow you've were. You're a resident for several. Years is an understatement. Yes seven was. It was seven seven your resident for seven years. I mean i think for for anyone who's listening. I always try to think of this. In terms of there is a young girl listening. Who wants to be. So what is the resident. And like is that a big deal. A resident is somebody that has finished medical school so after college. You get your bachelor's degree and then if you decide you want to go to medical school you go for four more years to graduate school to medical school and then you get an md or a do after your name and all that means is that your doctor and doesn't mean that you actually not care. People means that you learned a lot of science and so to learn how to be a doctor. You go to residency. And there's all kinds of residencies and all kinds of specialties. Family medicine surgery urology Emergency medicine anesthesia. Like all kinds of stuff. Whatever kind of doctor you want to be and residency can be three years or seven is really the max and it depends on what specialty you want to do. And what path you're taking And then when you're a resident your first year is your intern year. And that's when you are responsible for very little. Your samaria supervised the your first year being a doctor in the hospital And as you progress through the years you get more responsibility and then when you're almost finished with your residency that's when you get the most autonomy and you get to sort of practice. What it's like to be a doctor without supervision. When you finish your residency you can cipriani specialty boards. So whatever specialty went or we went through residency for the boards that you can take and if you wanna do sub specialty training then you go fellowship. So that's what i'm in now. So i finished. General surgery residency. I took half of my general surgery boards and the other half is in like three weeks. Contends and i'm in trauma surgery surgical critical care and cure surgery fellowship. It sounds like three things. But it's really like one big thing and there's only one boards per for the specialty that i'll take off and then my fellowship is two years and then i'll be done after and then what happens after that. I just get a job as a trauma surgeon. Somewhere preference for philly No preference wherever there's jobs we'll see but there's gotta be jobs everywhere but the pandemic sort of put a big damper on hiring so we'll see even for healthcare professionals. Yeah so Basically anything that was like an option. A lot of budgets shifted because all the elective electric procedures elective. Things hospital do for money were cancelled per year so Any jobs that were opened that they were like expanding those are gone. And then now they're mostly replacing people that leave so the job market is not awesome. But it's like. I don't have to start trying to find a job until like the fall winter. We'll see we'll so so that's oh and then before that you were paramedic for many years. Yeah before i went to medical so i graduated from college with a civil engineering degree. And then i work listener. What is that. it's like It's like the matt sides of buildings and roads like the infrastructure of cities so it can be like utilities like you're building like big sewer pipes and water pipes and stuff like that or it can be land development where you move around dirt to make places for buildings to get built. It can be structural engineering where you help design. What steel beams are needed for a building. An architect designs or concrete what kind of concrete you need. And what sort of stuff goes into like pouring concrete I was designing parking lots for a time which was interesting but i realized that i wanted to do something outside of an office although oddly i'm in an office currently so yeah so i became a paramedic and then worked for two years and then decided i wanted to do something else in healthcare plan medical school at workout.

Nocco bid but regular virus but he's healthy and fine and now being pregnant during covid a year later. P. e. is plentiful and we have a better understanding of the transmission. So and it's routine right so like going back to the hospital. After maternity leave it was like going to the twilight zone. It didn't look anything like the head left. Everyone you know like they changed the way that you could enter the hospital chain bad temperature screening like you know everybody was in full. Pb all the time. There's only certain areas that you could go away from everyone else where you can take your e off your mask off your eye protection all year to go get things There used to be like boxes outside of rooms with potential with potential droplet exposures or potential airborne exposure. Where you could just grab a mask and grab some gloves and a gallon. Now you have to go to a police depending on what Works for as soon as possible. He went to the place. You've got assigned your mask and your eye protection day until like sign it out They were recycling masks. Can like clean on. It was crazy. It was hard to believe that. Just like a few months before that was completely different in the hospital Now we have enough of everything We i work at the grocery of hospital so Being like in icu and being correct trauma range Bay we assume everyone has code until we get a negative test. And i can take hours to sometimes a day depending on how long the test takes so it's routine to take care of patients and people are positive you know i would say like maybe for ten percent to a quarter of patients that come in our positive so we just ten percents who a quarter are positive. They're still yeah. There's people mckinney. That are dramatic. I mean you are. Trump population in philadelphia is Mixed young men mostly of color and then older people car crashes and balls and things like that typical shower population so There's definitely still kobe. Positive patients coming in every day and we just usually if there i mean depending on how injured they are sick they are. They have to go to the operating room before there's test his back so we just treat them as if they of code and then sometimes we find out they don't sometimes you find out they do mean. I feel like i saw a picture of your mom. Did get to meet antonio ago She met him before. I went back to work because that was the very really tough decision to make because I knew that going back to work. I would potentially be exposed to covid. And so we didn't want to have her potentially be exposed and that time like where i worked. I wasn't getting tested regularly. And there weren't tests available really for the community So we took antonio there so he was little i mean he was like probably almost two months old and we just decided that was going. Be the last time that we would get to see her until things got figured out because we wanted to get exposed to covid. Even if i wasn't sick you know tabby exposed is. I didn't know yeah and so so that's great that she got to to me. I know that a lot of families. It feels like i'm hearing that folks are starting to make it back out but it's all like we haven't seen family in years. How about arlo has Has mom been able to see a arlo anytime soon. Yeah there was a time where we are half the time with their dad so there was a time where the was with me for like eleven days and so on the ten day felt like we quarantined for ten days. We could go visit her and we stayed overnight. Think i'll remember. This isn't going to summer And then otherwise we occasionally will drive up in the car and sit outside of her apartment and she makes grilled cheese and we eat that in the car and she says also car and we can talk a little bit to the window when we first started doing this. The risk was to my mom But now my mom's fascinated i'm vaccinated an arlo is not vaccinated. An arlo has asthma. So now we're still doing the same thing but now by contention is to keep arlo safe. So we're kind of is predicting that the axial be approved for your young kids in september october. So we're just trying to hold out until then what i'd like to know from you both is talk to me about what you believe has translated or carried through from how your mother raised you to how you're raising your own kids. Being a mom is still pretty new to me and also because my kid starts he just started really like doing stuff recently I would say like. I'm definitely keeping an open mind. About what is interests will be and trying to communicate with him on his terms and letting him be at however he is so. He's a pretty easy going kid. He's honestly like a very easy to take care of tumbler as forest toddlers go.

We had to carmen's no relation today. relation john bailey. She is a surgical critical care and acute care surgery. Fellow at the university of pennsylvania. Go and nevada bailey. She is software engineer at oetzi. And also this is her. Second time on the podcast. Welcome ladies mace. Why don't we focus on first on what this season is about which is black and latina moms in stem and of which both of you are right. So i'd love to hear about your kids. Tell us about your kids and then the smiles in susie there we go all right so tell us about your kids. Okay mike kiddo. Is named arlo a stories they are non binary h seven pronounce them They're like super smart and fortunately and unfortunately basically a clone of myself at times Which is great. 'cause i like myself but also not the easiest to get along with so so when arlen was born nevada said that she knew he looked like her because he looked like me. He's like a number faces. Velika puzzles i thought. I thought like three d. sonogram and i was like the baby looks like any. Are those foyer a girl or boy or girl but it was like the it looks just like me and people thought i was crazy for saying that because having you tell from three d. sonogram but here we go along so my son is fourteen months old. His name's antonio. He is walking very well climbing things he can open doors he says words but not mama and he loves to eat and is huge and has really big feet all. Are you already making predictions about what his future is going to klay. Now idea brother though. That's in future. He's going to be. What a big brother are you pregnant. Yeah congratulations another. Another boy probably with big Is on the way that's awesome. So why did you do. Day oct sixteen. That is fantastic on the same birthday. I think it's important to point that out. Oh yeah antonio and arlo sabre base for stealing my thunder. I was going to bring back. Like i should have mentioned it and i didn't so how. How planned was that nine plans. They're like six years apart part. You know it's just a weird twin thing that happens. That happened or happens. Is this like i think. No i think happened just happens to us. How's it been being pregnant. Healthcare professional during all of us. Yes oh antonio was born a week before. New jersey went on lockdown so when we went to the hospital all we got like the screening questions. I guess because they were asking at that time like does anyone have any fevers or colts intones or anything like that but there were no visiting restrictions and the hospital if you travel to china recently. Brighton is out of the country. Those are the kind of questions and we were. Of course like i nine months pregnant no and then when i came home from the hospital it was a saturday and the whole you know. My my family was over all the cousins aunts and uncles. Everybody wants this baby and then a week later. No one was there so it was not what we expected in terms of like having helped with a newborn because no one was allowed to come near us. Basically be accurate walked down in the pandemic really gotten to swing. I was supposed to go back to work after six weeks which is pretty standard. I was a chief resident Was supposed to sit for boards in july and this was march and so the boards rules are that you have to work a certain number of weeks in the last year of your residency in order to records so that limits the amount of time that you can take for any kind of leave but for maternity leave as well so with the pandemic in full swing. The boards actually changed the rule and added two weeks to the possible time that you could miss. Yeah but the two weeks was for fourteen. When you got exposed to cogan. So i had to figure out whether i was going to take the risk and have to extend residency if i did get exposed to covid and take the two weeks front which is an ended up doing that so i had maternity leave for eight weeks and then i didn't have to quarantine thankfully and graduated time so having newborn during a pandemic is incredibly stressful. I feel like you know. Now it's like a year or so later and we know so much more about the virus and transmission and the exposures and there's like evidence and everything but at that time. Nobody really knew anything. We were worried about the virus being spread even with proper ppe which there was a shortage of and even with proper precautions which was tough to know what there was to do. We didn't know if it was on services. If it was just an air like it was there was a lot of unknowns. So everyday i went to work super stressed out. I worried pumping. So i worried about you. Know every every surface that everything touched a clean everything in the office that was pumping in as soon as i got to work at tried to minimize the amount like i even had like a way that i turn my scripture inside out so that i could only have one side twitching the pumps and had not worried about the outside of it touching anything and And when i came home. I would go through the basement. Antique all my all my clothes. at hospital to those clothes off in the basement before i came up an hour shower immediately before i touch anyone in the house and it was a lot it was like it added like an extra probably couple hours to my day. That was already incredibly long and it was stressful because i was worried about bringing home any germs from little. But then obviously bring home. Covid people didn't know how it would affect a brand new baby didn't know how it affects. You know his dad so it.

Don't have tenure. Because they're pushing pushing pushing salary. Laurie sorry but you kind of There are certain you you want somebody. That has tenure but still kind in the game and still mentoring. So there's this ebbing flowing you have to be very strategic about speaking to the post docs and the graduate students like away from the lab. Like let's let's go to coffee off. Campus let's talk for real. You know talk about the culture in the laboratory. And i have found that people are very genuine and honest in. It is like a brand spanking. No using no a you run like do i need accommodated like they may or they may give you clues about what you should think about questions you should as and so people you know. I have found that they won't cool you into some craziness. They will tell you to stay away in in for an investigator to not have a steady flow of graduate students especially at ours ours. Were baylor was very graduate student heavy so like we came in heavy hitters and acting almost like post docs like. That's the kind of way we train like really researching heavy. And you know you have to ask the questions you could ask. Certain certain professors certain administrators would tell you certain things they tell you. Stay away from another. You sure you wanna do that in the you start. Thinking is like okay trying to tell me something. And they'll say go. Ask this person so this is this person experience in this lab. That's would sell you.

That didn't have that experience. Didn't understand why would sit at my desk in. I'd write it out in Planet out and. I take my time. And i didn't have to do trillions of experiments academic like a good three and i have so much data to till nine through so i think i covered everything. It guys I have to say. I had a very different experience Even though i was at the end of my graduate school tenure And i have a very different viewpoint now. than i did at the time when i was Found out i was expecting my daughter. there was a significantly bad situation that i had witnessed In my lab. We're we had a senior technician. Who came in. She had been with us very long but had special needs children. And all that was you know sorted disgust and again not that. It's actually even legal to consider these things when hiring you all at some point the needs of the children even though this lady was tag teaming destroy turn it's my turn with her husband The needs of the children ended up being like not compatible with the job in the lady was asked to resign So having watched that and having watched some of my other classmates decide to start families which was completely normal. These are like you know. Even in the most conservative sense married people in their mid to late twenties who had completed at least one college degree and were self sufficient. So it's not you know any kind of You know anybody walking down the street just decide to have a baby no fifteen or whatever like it's not even under the most conservative circumstances like a bad thing except it. We were all in greece with school and that seemed to be this problem so having witnessed all of those i knew i was pregnant about. Yeah like five months before. I defended and you know kind of had a contentious situation Going into my defenses wear. I was under pressure to have extended my time line in the lab even those pushing toward the seven year mark. But because i just you know put my foot down and said no. This is not acceptable. We need to get this paper out now in. You need to let me go. Get this job on.

Those that get it those who don't get it and those who do not want to get it It becomes one of those things. Choose you have to be choosy You have to look at their life.

They realized that there is a direct correlation. In how we're and how we're feeling about our job versus how engaged we are with the er jeez That are most directly tied to us in so The the transformation of how senior leadership to get involved. I know that who has created the Mccall flag in its de black leadership at google kind of like a metal. Call the er g. but it has been birth rate in response to what they were hearing from the bgn group on knowing what they know about the inequalities that were facing at work and so they're really trying to take fans in creating additional safe spaces that can promote the recruitment in the overall retainment of the black talent that they're bringing on says they understand it. Having a home away from home is critical to our success individually and collectively. That's fantastic there. There are several points or collectives that are meeting to focus on on these issues at. It's not housed with one. So chief diversity officer or one. Er gee i would be interested to know what role you think. Working in a major ten company has has impacted. Your and i loved you. You mention he the notion of psychological safety you know as a as a black person working innovative technology or major tech company. So what are the. What are the benefits you know whether it be access to resources elliptical capital cetera. I were some dispatches. But you also see i would say some of the advantages would be of course that that safety net that mentorship. That's gonna strip. Those are definitely two different things.

"Jeez this is my first one. I will start off by saying that being at microsoft first yard you have ever been a part of now. The other tech companies. I was at i was in the retail space so now that corporate meeting able to find bam blacks microsoft being able to find that a network and to be myself and let my hair down invent in that same space has not only been important but on the it's critical to my mental health especially in the last twelve months being in a pandemic the quarantine being in this political ray civil war. Everyone a call it. It has been very A daunting experience to be quite honest to to be black in corporate america. So i would say in order for our to have any type of teeth any type of Reach we need that volunteer. That geneva speaking on earlier. We need that passion. We need that commitment and not anything. That's halfway gone or just to check off your denied bucket lists or whatever just to get that type of in away street cred. You need to really put in that work in see different. See a change and being able to have that direct ear to senior leadership. The trap on men is kind of like the mother chapter so we're based out in washington. This is where the first chapter. The first bam chapter willis created so being able to work with the leadership team in washington. Having them jumped into our monthly calls were able to directly voice. Our concerns with them being able to let them know what. We're feeling what we're seeing what we need more of what we need less of have been that direct communications that senior leadership office has been very beneficial because now we have our own deny program manager who actually focuses on these initiatives so without our group voicing that that wouldn't have happened now in similar to what's happening over here on our side. You know it talk about what happened. With george floyd last year that really was a catalyst to a lot of additional investments into the especially the bgn group which is an acronym for the black google network Version of bam. And you know. It's not been a google for about a year and a half now. So i came in right before. George floyd i gotta get a taste of what it was like. I guess before what happened with floyd as well as afterwards In it's always been interesting to compare this experience when i saw microsoft i can confidently say that It seems like senior leadership there definitely leaning in a little bit further than they had before in terms of Mentioned his early the way that they are investing in the types of resources that were able to provide right in listening to the to the The voices of our community to help create this more inclusive workspace. And if you think about both will end microsoft you know. Both companies are based in the west coast In city that are predominantly That are not predominant In minorities especially black community is so a lot of times. What happens when you know. Someone joins a microsoft or google. They have to relocate from their community. in move into these hubs that may be based out in washington that may be based on a mountain view.

I don't remember feeling particularly drawn to it. But now in twenty twenty one i feel like if i were working in the private sector. I probably would want to be a pretty active. Think that there has been a shift over the last bullet not even just the last year. Because obviously there's been a chef but even the last decade in terms of black employs gerald spheres who've been engaged in in the black eighty with absolutely. I think we say that type of growth happening definitely year-over-year an even more of an emphasis around it in the last twelve months but From when i joined tech seven years ago you know. I think it was a point for me in thinking about the advice that i was given from colleague or future. Colleagues folks are already in the field they always mentioned finding your internal your internal source of home like some sort of home away from home In a lot of times that pointed at the The er g that is central to the black community and so for me is always been something that i valued a part of my experience to corporate america. I couldn't really see myself without having those connections that i've made through Either bam or bgn here at google. This space has been growing right. I know that is all very much voluntary in when you are working with voluntary work you know The levels of effort may vary across. Oh some chapters may not be active. Some folks may not be putting out as many events or opportunities to connect But i think that over the years that level of volunteerism has definitely increased more creative events that allow us to connect with each other in different ways at once. Were not possible Starting to see a lot of development in even from senior leadership level rate. They're taking a jeez way more seriously in tapping on them to be that when of true or that source of truth or data collection on on whatever minority focused or whatever that under represented group. Is that the charges are focused on line So it becomes a win win for everybody you know of networking socialization But also being The boys or the representation of this group that otherwise would not have a seat at the table when it comes down a senior leadership position.

"That. You know like we're talking about our so-called success in that's great but it just doesn't stop there. This isn't the finish line so so that's kind of how you it. Yeah so. I think we think very similarly jessica about this. White supremacy is a tool to sort of justify the underpayment or the exploitation or the oppression of groups of people. But it's for an economic reason to do that so it isn't just for any reason is for specifically economic disenfranchisement. And so when we. When i look at that i think about is like okay. So how does this relate to the tech industry. So i do think like there is some value in you know you know creating pushing these. These black folks are currently intact and making sure they can navigate the spaces stay in so they can go become see ios or directors etc. I think that is important. I think important to see people who actually achieving a in going through. I definitely think that the pipeline is something that needs to be fixed. I used to have mixed feelings. About how do you balance like which parts of the pipeline you focus on. I definitely think that Increasing the number of people throughout the every single juncture in the pipeline. So if you can find any holes in that pipe you know making sure you you sort of you know patch. Those holes is really important. So all the way from the beginners from elementary middle and high school. Making sure that there's access up to matriculate into rate universities or if they don't want to go to university getting into apprenticeship programs or excetera There's also just the early career navigation and the internship navigation. How do you transition into the work workplace. But i do think that the way forward It looks like enabling access or opening up access and bridging access to more people at all levels. So i just wanted to add maybe one more quick thing which is the reason. I think it's such a big question is because white supremacists such a big a big question. And i think tech has important role to play. But it's not the only tool or we have to pull because if we're not careful i think what happens is like instead of texting us as a tool to dismantle white supremacy. It's used as an expression of that. White supremacy ryan is just kind of like a another expression of that so I think that's why the access pieces is so important because what you see is really it's light. Supremacy bet just tends to be really pervasive in other areas of life. so i think the accesses changing the fabric of Who's in charge and making that more. Equitable is is really important. Because.
