That's awesome Looking forward to talking about business and entrepreneurship what you're doing these days. So take us back Tell us what you did in the Coast Guard Hey Joe, thanks for having me on your show. Well, it actually started in high school I joined the Missouri National Guard when I was 17 went to boot camp in Portland win, Missouri Graduated from that went back to high school and did my senior year and then moved on to AIT which is the training for the army and I was a tactical radio communicator So basically I carried a backpack radio and worked on their radios got a chance to go to Germany For a large NATO US exercise and kind of opened up my world view and my eyes a little bit You know as an 18 year old coming out of Missouri central, Missouri There's a you know, I lived in farmland. So I got to see what was going on there now I'm in another country traveling around with people that are a lot older than me that been around so Got a got a good view into a little bit about what the world was going what was going on in the world So fast forward I decided to go to college I'm in college pursuing a degree in aviation and Too much college activities and not enough good enough grades and they they gave me the invitation not to return You gotta see MSU Yes, yeah, right there in Lawrenceburg. Yep Yep, so great program great school Just it wasn't a good time for me at that time too. I wasn't ready So now I'm deciding what am I gonna do am I gonna join the army and Start seeing some commercials about the Coast Guard on TV. I'm like in Missouri You don't see a lot of Coast Guard, you know, because we're in the center of the country. We're landlocked There's there is a Coast Guard there. I found out later on but not to my knowledge at the time So I get in my car. I live in Colombia and I drive to st. Louis to see a recruiter I get the recruiters office goes. Hey, thank you for your interest But I can't recruit you you live on the wrong side of the Missouri River you need to go to Kansas City So now back in the car driving to Kansas City and Get all the stuff done and there's an eight -month wait list to get in so I go ahead and sign the paperwork and delay entry finally getting the Coast Guard and After graduating boot camp, I end up going to Tillamook Bay, Oregon So basically they've got a motor lifeboats that are like the tanks in the water They're meant to take 30 40 foot waves you get there the windows are made of bulletproof glass 300 bulletproof glass you get into the boat and You strap in with a helmet your dry suit and the seat belts and buckle in And you go out there and take waves and try not to take waves But sometimes you have to for the fishing boat to fleet that's coming in So what an exciting job, you know at 21 years old you're out there charging these giant waves Get in beat up by the waves and pulling people out of water and rescuing them It could have ended right there. I could have stayed in that job forever. It was it was amazing. It was an adrenaline rush But I wanted to do aviation still So I put my name on the school list to go to aviation the Coast Guard and I went to Elizabeth City, North Carolina for and Electronics avionics Had to wait a year for that school, so I got to play around in Oregon for a while the school 38 weeks Learn how to do all the component repair of all the electronics on the plane Graduated from there and get my first units in Traverse City, Michigan like where's Traverse City, Michigan and it's all the way up north and As far it's in the northern part of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan So and at the time they were flying Of course each series or what the army would have or other services BC Kings or or Jolly Green Giants So I get there and I learned that after going to school all this time. I really don't know anything So it's time. It's time to start learning. You're an apprentice. So, you know, you start learning everything about the plane and the organization And Soon as I learned everything about the HCI thought I needed to know we transitioned to 60s So then we get the Seahawks the Coast Guard version of the Seahawk so got to do that and so spend eight to ten years Learning, you know my craft and trade and and just enjoying the Coast Guard You know the camaraderie the people in the organization the mission And then took a took my next tour to Alaska So I got to go to Kodiak, Alaska and help them transition because nobody was qualified to fly the 60s yet only the first units so I got to go up there and help stand up the program and Start, you know training everybody and flying that mission with the 60 But they didn't have the 60s yet. So I had to go back to the X trees and fly that again So it's kind of flying in both at the same time. So it was nice I mean I was getting you know, three and four hundred hours a year flight time and You know, it was Alaska some of the most beautiful flying you can imagine we do stuff that you know, I couldn't pay for So got to do that And then after leaving Traverse City or after leaving Kodiak my transition again to another helicopter I moved in Detroit and we moved to the Eurocopter 65 Which is a smaller business corporate helicopter that the Coast Guard uses for its ship based operations so I got to do that and then I'm starting to roll up on my my my 20 20 years it's gonna be coming up here pretty soon. I'm at 15. I'm starting to think what am I gonna do? So I started doing, you know different college programs. So they give my associate degree Well, I got my associate degree knocked out while I still in Detroit and then we go back to Alaska where? I'm within a two -year window now so planning on Transitioning out at 20. I go ahead and get my my Microsoft engineering degree And then that takes a year to do that so the tour in Alaska is only three years so back to Traverse City and I'm looking at getting out at that point in time and that's where I start my first business up there I started business in 2002 building computer repair computers and servicing Computers for large corporations. Yeah, where did the where the desire to where the desire to search your own business come from? Um, well, I knew I needed to get out and I didn't really want to it was gonna be hard to replace an organization I'm already in I didn't necessarily want to work for a company Yeah, and so doing my own thing in my own, you know not have to rely on somebody else To get the job done because I know I can do the job and I wanted to do it myself So there was a desire. I did that job for about four years and then Lo and behold I promoted myself out of my position. I was in in Traverse City So it was either I was in you seven at the time and I was gonna make a yay So like okay, where can I go and you know make that kind of money? I'm not I'm not generating that kind of income at this point in time So kind of put that in the back burner and shelved it for a while also, I was seeing I'd get my Microsoft degree and I saw that everything was getting outsourced and Working on hands -on technology You're always chasing the certification because everything's changing so quickly within the computer industry I wasn't sure how how much I wanted to stay continually chasing that certification So decide to go back to school we transfer to Miami at that point and That was a Big culture shift going from Alaska to Traverse City down to Miami because the missions are different. Yeah cold to hot Right. So I went more from more of a search and rescue law enforcement to more of a law enforcement search and rescue So the emphasis was more on law enforcement down in Florida with the international treaties and border protection type mission So I started going back to school again get my bachelor's degree and Finished up that and then again, so I wasn't looking at getting out at that point. We're at year 24 at that point Promoted again made Master Chief for E9 and was waiting and Wanted to go back to Detroit fortunately, nobody else wanted to go back to Detroit and I was able to pick up that job as The command enlisted advisor working for the CEO in Detroit What great job great experience wonderful people I worked with and then at that point I started working on my master's degree and business with Masters in health care administration some kind of shotgunning, you know the different things I'm planning on doing when I get out I want to make sure I could cover all the bases. I had done troop the teacher signed up for it Got a degree in history got a degree and business and then what got an MBA and then an MHA and Didn't do any of that when I got out So, what was your transition like you end up getting the JOB and was it smooth on the way out because I mean you're you're prepared educational wise but What was the twist in turn? Yeah, it's interesting because you know and it's not from the organization you don't hear but I think ourselves we underestimate our Capabilities when we're in we're thinking hey, we're in this job We've been doing the same job on the military side But when I get out I'm gonna I don't I can't how do I deal with and how do I work in that? Organization, you know, how do I fit in and how do I provide value? Yeah, and hey Jeff before before we get too far? let's take a quick break and Re -attack this on the way back Getting a new car is exciting and you deserve a hassle -free buying experience You can get a decision in seconds and enjoy great rates with everything You need in one place Navy Federalist Car Buying Center is your one -stop shop for researching Financing buying protecting and enjoying your next car you can search for new and used cars access vehicle history reports enjoy discounts on auto insurance and more and you can make the most of your time on the road wherever you go with our flagship credit card whether you're taking a trip to relax or see somewhere new You deserve a travel card does the work for you in my 33 years as a Navy Federal member I've had the flagship credit card since it first came out and we use our travel points all the time flagship credit card will earn you three times points on travel plus up to $100 in statement credits towards TSA pre -check or global entry and a free year of Amazon Prime With two times the points on all purchases outside of travel the rewards don't have to end where your vacation does For more on Navy Federalist Car Buying experience and flagship rewards visit navyfederal .org Open armed forces DoD veterans and their families credit and collateral subject to approval Navy Federalist insured by NCUA Visa is a registered service mark of Visa used by Navy Federal under license All right back talking with Coast Guard veteran Jeff Starr from Wynn Home Inspection so Jeff anyways failed to mention We talked about this for you at the record button your episode number 500 Which is a major milestone for any podcast or any podcaster So I wish I had a door prize for you or something, but I just didn't acknowledge Yeah, you're one of the few coasties I've had on the show.

"Impact dot MSU dot EDU and I'm curious for the first time now in 40 years, it's complete democratic control of the state legislature. How does that impact your work and are they maybe more receptive to certain things than the Republicans were? Well, Katie will have a response to this as well. But my one response is they have to see change. You know, that is a dramatically different philosophical bent, no surprise to anybody. I think that's why they voted that way. And that's fine. And I would say, generally, more supportive of investing in higher education, not just MSU, but higher education. I'm going to give you the counter to that, though, as well, which is then we are very busy managing some expectations on campus, which are wealthy Democrats are controlled. The governor, the house, the Senate, will get everything. Really, we won't. Because there is a very long list of needs and desires that is built up over the years when they could not get formers, house, and Senate members, to give them any attention to even consider them. So it's a balancing act as it always is when you work with the legislature. But Katie has her own thoughts on this too. I think my biggest takeaway is what a busy agenda, the Democrats have managed to accomplish in these few short months. It wasn't necessarily expected that both chambers would flip. I think many thought maybe one, but that's a whole different dynamic. So having all three legs of the so to speak stool, the governor and both chambers, they've just, they've accomplished more than I think anyone expected. They've had, they've repealed right to work. They've expanded the earned income tax credit. They've repealed the abortion ban language that they needed to because of some ballot, the ballot proposal that passed. So kind of these big social issues and they've managed to keep their caucus together and get these accomplished. So no matter what side you're on, I think you have to acknowledge job well done. For leadership to be able to keep everyone in line and get those things accomplished. More conversation on the mission of

"MSU today I'm Ross white and I'm talking with MSU's executive vice president for health sciences doctor norm Bo champ, who's talking about the strategic plan for sustainable health at MSU. The objectives will resonate the first objective is how can we better meet the physical and mental health needs of our students, faculty, and staff. And this would make sense when you think about when you're flying on a plane. They say put your mask on first, right? And so if we're going to set these transformative goals for what we can do with communities, we've got to keep ourselves healthy first. There's been a lot of that work done campus wide. Vinny gore has been one of the tremendous leaders of this work with students success Dave wise mantle in his role as university physician, Rebecca Campbell in the work that she's done. And so this idea that first we have to focus on being the employer of choice, the place that looks after students. So that's the first part of the pillar. The second objective is to partner with communities and organizations to reduce health disparities by 2030. So as we mentioned in the Henry Ford partnership, right now, the county in which you live determines your access to healthcare in your outcomes. An example of that is that the incidence of cancer, many cancers, is lower in rural Michigan, but the death rate is higher. And that's because there's not enough providers. We don't get out and provide adequate screening so we can detect cancer early. So what objective to is is to reach out with communities in partner so that in those partnerships we can improve health outcomes. I think the very best example of that is the work that we're doing in Flint. And recently, we announced a $25 million commitment from the mod foundation to Michigan state to build on our public health division in Flint. In what's so beautiful about that, I was in Flint for Martin Luther King Jr. day was this effort was really led by the community. They knew what the challenges were. They just need partners and that was when MSU made themselves available. So what we want to do is really build on that work. The gift from the mod foundation. This Henry Ford partnership where we're taking some lessons learned in Flint. Now we're working with the Detroit community and then extending all of this work to every county in the state by partnering with extension. That, my friend is objective, too. Why is I can see how it all fits together so beautifully normal. Flint and Henry Ford, this is amazing. Well, bless you, thank you. And then the third is to say, if we're going to improve health, this can't be a health college's focus, right? This can't be just a college of nursing college of human med college of osteopathic med college of veterinary medicine. The four of them combined with the largest trainer of graduated, if you will, of people going into health professions. But to get this right, we need to bring in communication arts and sciences. We need to bring in engineering biomedical engineering. We need to think about food deserts and helps healthy foods, college of agriculture, natural resources. All of these departments, social sciences, colleges, when they're brought together, there will be no place better in the world to meet the needs of the communities we serve. So objective three are what are the ways that we can bring the entire university together. Now this partnership we announced two years ago, that's an example of an opportunity and a lab elaborate slightly on that if you don't mind rest. Please, when I presented this, I went around and I met with all of the research teams. And the vice dean in the college of business said, well, one of the biggest challenges in healthcare we saw was with COVID. We couldn't get treatment to people in the communities in which they were. How about if we bring our world class supply chain into this partnership with Henry Ford and figure out what are the ways to better deliver, you know, the resources needed to people everywhere. Health hope and healing for all, right? We saw with our college of communication arts and sciences, the way in which you message to people about participating in a screening test can increase their willingness to participate 6, 7, 8%. So if we're trying to reach all the communities, we in the health colleges can develop the very best tests, but having the skills to get them there. So what brought Henry Ford into this partnership with MSU was the realization of the breast of our strengths, what we now have to do as a part of our strategic plan is to mobilize the entire university. The beautiful thing about that is objective for. So objective for then is when people in 2017, the number one employer in our nation became health related careers. We want to be a place that when students come here to prepare for a future career, it's the career of their dreams of doing the things that are meaningful to them and making sure that it's a way for them to have a secure job. And so objective for is, can we create 50 new pathways at Michigan state into careers and health? And really, really identify that. So if you want to improve the lives of your fellow human, so many ways to do it, communication arts, having shows like this, an example, right? But another example is, as we talked about supply chain, packaging, engineering. So we want to really identify Michigan state as the place to go as a student if you want to improve human health. And because of our depth in our breath, you can choose so many different ways to get there. So that, that is objective for, and then objectified. And thankfully, that the low barriers to collaboration on this campus really help out with that objective. Well, as you call it out beautifully, that I've been at other institutions and one of the comments that you hear in some places that is that there is a moat. If you will. Between colleges or between health related colleges and the rest of the university. What this strategic plan does is it builds bridges, not moats, and it connects us, and because this is an institution that's been built on collaboration, these bridges become superhighways really quickly. And what I found as, you know, I've gone around to the different colleges is just, how do we do more together faster? It's really quite remarkable. So it really energizing. And then the 5th objective is really, and I think the Henry Ford partnership or maybe even what we've done in Grand Rapids is that as you bring together the delivery of healthcare, education and research, so those are the 5 pillars and I got to tell you, it has been one of the greatest delights to have an organization say, we're going to call out very directly what we're going to do, and then we're going to put our shoulders behind it. So yeah, I'm excited about it. And I'm excited about coming into this summer. Now it's taking some of the proposals that have come from faculty to say, this is how I think this is how we think we can advance these objectives and then tying the budget to that. Spartans will norm. As far as well. And again, a lot more on the sustainable health theme of the plan at strategic plan that MSU dot EDU and we've been catching up on that and the Henry Ford health plus Michigan state university health sciences partnership with doctor Norman

"I'm Russ white. I'm talking with the leader of mass timber at MSU signed lupin. People are excited about mass timber for a variety of reasons, but the main driver behind the interest is the sustainability benefits of building with big wood. Either in combination in hybrid models like we did in the stem facility with materials like steel or concrete, which are more historically or typically used in large buildings. Either building in combination with those materials, or using these wood materials to create your full structural system, which is also possible. So mass timber is great because a to produce mass timber to transport mass timber, typically emits less carbon than other types of building materials. Wood is a renewable material. It's in a renewable resource so you're not using a finite resource. So that's a more sustainable way of building as well. But the thing that I think is really powerful about mass timber in addition to those features is that this is going to be like back to your biology one on one. How trees work. So in a forest, trees absorb carbon dioxide, a gas from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. They take in that carbon dioxide as we know they emit oxygen, which we breathe, but they take in that carbon dioxide as gas, and then they store it in their trunks, in their branches, in their roots, and ultimately in the soil as carbon. While that carbon is stored in the trees, then it's not being emitted into the atmosphere. We know that carbon carbon dioxide going into the atmosphere warms the atmosphere, contributing to global climate change. There are many other types of greenhouse gases that also contribute to climate change, methane, being one that we hear a lot about as well. And methane is emitted by trees when they are dying and decomposing in the forest, so just flagging that. But so when you have trees storing carbon in the forest, that's very important benefit of forests. It helps to contain that carbon, either delaying it or preventing it from going back in the atmosphere at a rapid pace, which is what we want to avoid in order to kind of curb climate emissions. When you cut a tree and you use it in a long lived, durable product like mass timber, which, you know, would be can last for 50, a hundred, 150 years in a building, your storing a significant amount of carbon that that tree in the forest has sequestered, absorbed and stored. You're storing that carbon in the building, kind of further delaying the amount of time before that carbon would go into the atmosphere. So you're really helping your buildings to actually become centers of carbon storage. And other materials such as steel and concrete, of course, don't store carbon. They don't have a storage, a carbon storage capacity. So how is MSU leading in the research and application of mass timber? Sure, yeah, so my program mass timber at MSU really is leveraging all of the resources that MSU can bring to bear to remove barriers to mass timber, manufacture, and adoption. And also to make sure that we're doing mass timber sustainably, right? We're using wood from sustainable managed and harvested forests, where we're building and smart ways, et cetera. But so in terms of research and education, there's a number of different researchers here at the university who are engaged in mass timber. One of my colleagues, George berghorn, he's an assistant professor in the construction management program here. He's doing some bunch of different types of things. He's doing product research and development, looking into how we can be making mass timber from wood, salvaged from deconstructed buildings. So instead of that wood and some of that wood is really nice old wood, right? Going into landfills where it will just eventually decompose, but not do a whole lot of good. We can turn that wood into different types of mass timber and rebuild buildings with it. That's an exciting body of research. George is also developed tools that folks in the architecture engineering and construction industry can use to estimate the costs of building with mass timber, because if we're trying to introduce a new type of construction material and that's a whole new system that architecture engineering and construction stakeholders need to grapple with when they're trying to figure out whether the costs of the projects, you know, things work differently. There's different types of hardware to connect the pieces together. There's different timelines for moving the project ahead. Sometimes with mass timber when you're building with it, you can actually build your project faster because it's this big panelized material that goes up a little bit like an erector set. So incorporating that into your cost model. So George's research is looking at that. One of our researchers in the department of forestry, doctor mosh got najad, is doing research and development of new types of adhesives that can be used in mass timber. So currently he says we use our polyurethane based, most gun is researching adhesives made from lignin, which is an extract from trees, so that would be a more biodegradable type of adhesive with a lower level of toxicity. And her research is really promising and showing that in fact the adhesion of the lignin based resins and adhesives is actually proving to be stronger in the test she's doing than the typical ones that are in use now. So those are just a couple of different bodies of research. We're also doing some research into supply chain for potential mass timber manufacturer in Michigan, currently we have no mass timber manufactured in Michigan. We can go into that in a minute if you like. So we're trying to understand what is mass Tim Burton manufacturer look like based on the different types of wood. We have available and based on all of the other parts of an industry that would feed into a successful manufacturing of mass timber. Well, yeah, I was going to ask you about how this might impact the economy of Michigan, the mass timber movement, or industry, and how do you see it evolving? What's the future both maybe some challenges and opportunities ahead? Yeah, so master bird MSU, the program I lead is funded in large part by Michigan department of natural resources and the Michigan Department of Agriculture and rural development. Both of those agencies are very interested in advancing mass timber in Michigan in large part because they see significant potential opportunities for rural communities, rural forested communities to kind of revive some more some forest economies that have been a little bit tired for many reasons in recent years. Maybe creating some new opportunities and milling some new opportunities in killing. And of course new opportunities and manufacture of mass timber. On the construction side, there's also the opportunity to train new types of builders, right? This is a different way of building. We can perhaps develop new types of construction jobs. So there's a lot of potential economic development opportunities associated with this. On the manufacturing side, it's important to note that most mass timber in North America is coming from the Pacific Northwest or the Pacific Coast of Canada. Some is coming from Quebec, for example, the mass timber that you'll see if you visit our stem teaching and learning facility is from Quebec. It's black spruce from shibogama, Quebec. And then some are starting to come from the southeast United States using yellow pine. The reason for that is that all of the mass timber technologies currently certified for use in North America are made from softwood species. Spruce pine and fir. In Michigan, we have about 20% soft wood in our forests, but about 80% hardwood. So that's an interesting opportunity, I think, for Michigan to think about, well, how can we use hardwoods in mass timber in North America, Europe has been using hardwoods and mass timber. Can we do it here? And the answer is from an engineering and structural standpoint, the answer is yes. It just is a matter of doing the research development and product certification to make that happen. And I will say that our friends at Michigan tech university have been doing some exciting research along those lines developing cross laminated timber using hardwoods. So we're watching that very carefully. Well, Sandra really appreciate this education on mass timber, is

Bishop David O'Connell was found in his found dead in his home on Saturday. He was killed just blocks from a church in the Hacienda Heights neighborhood that's east of downtown LA. O'Connell had been a priest for 45 years. He was beloved in his community back in 2015, Pope Francis named him one of several auxiliary bishops of the LA archdiocese. Authorities have not said whether the bishop was targeted or if his religion might have been a factor, were expected to get more information later on this afternoon.

Well, at the end of the day, it wasn't that as we've been saying, it was time to 72, and then the wolverines went out of 12 O run. And in the middle of all of that, MSU went on a scoring drought, they just couldn't buy a basket. And at the end of the day that that's scoring ground up about two and a half minutes was that that was the game. Yeah, and the droughts have been killers for Michigan state at times this year, and obviously you really don't want one at the end of a game. And at the end of the day, is what got them the defeat? Okay, and let's go by the numbers. And looking at the scoring permission can say we talked about Joey how's your mentor Detroit Chevy player of the game? He had 20 points in for Joey. That's a 7 time he's had 20 or more. Nice line, 6 to 13 shooting made three long balls at four boards. A walker at 11 points and four Tyson, that is the 21st time he's been a double digits. Third check it fourth rate game. He's done that. Akins had 7, but will be on all the TV shows with his dunk. Unbelievable. Yeah, that was great. So I got well, you know, and he had a three to start the second half of that went down and popped. Oh, you think about that. He could have had a kid. Could have had ten points here on the second half. A Hogarth was good for 6 points. He had 7 assists in this game. You know, a couple of turnovers in the game like this, not too bad. He's efficiency is good. Monica soko four points Kohler had four Harlem had a bucket Carson Cooper four and Malay car is Tom said had that wonderful first half winds up with 14 points a glimpse of what it was like before the first injury, but as he also said in the pregame show map. At 5 straight days of practice, which he hasn't had for a long time and we're beginning to see the benefits of that. We did, especially in the first half and it just, I think the conditioning for him got a little bit, you could see he needed a little bit more in the second half. This arena was really hot. And I could see at halftime when I was down on the floor, guys were really sweating. I think that caught up to them at the end of the game. Michigan had 5 and double figures. Yeah. Man, that's something. Mcdaniel queer I 18 points Dickinson at 14. Buff in 17, Jen Howard had ten, then he got hurt. Will Cheddar was good for 7 baker ten Reid had a, you know, it's funny with him his line doesn't make any difference. He had ten rebounds and when they needed some big plays late, he found a way to get him done. Well, he scored all 8 of his points in the second half. I mean, that's huge. Joy baker 7 of his ten points in the second half and Cheddar had 7 points in the second half. I mean, those guys really carried Michigan and they had balanced scoring on that whole squad in the second half. The only person who didn't score for them was Jace Howard. And he just played a few minutes. It's pretty amazing. When you look at the team stats, MSU shot well overall, 47% Michigan 49, both ball clubs had 59 shots at the basket. Three point shooting, 37% of Michigan state, 35 Michigan, MSU, 9 and ten from the free throw line of 90%, but at the end of the day, 21 free throw attempts by Michigan they made 17 of them, that will do you in. In some of those, at the end of the game, when we were following, but not that many. And in Michigan state, just at the end of the day, doesn't shoot a lot of free throws in games. We'll be back with some final thoughts in a moment as you're listening. Do I have my shoe basketball

Debbie and Dinesh Discuss the Latest Shooting at MSU
"There was a recent shooting mass shooting at Michigan state university. Initially, I thought this might be done by a student that might be something some incident involving a student, but it turns out no, the shooter wise what? 43 year old black man. 43 year old black man and I want to highlight that for a minute because this mass shooting has had a more muted response than other mass shootings. Why? I think it's because the perpetrator is black. Now usually though for the media and for the left, the approach is sort of like this. If there's a mass shooting and a white guy did it, white supremacy is to blame. But if there's a mass shooting and a black guy or Hispanic guy on Asian guy did it, then let's not even talk about white supremacy because we really can't. Let's focus on the gun. The gun is to blame. So that's really what happened in the Michigan state. They would have loved to go with white supremacy, but since it was a black guy, it's like, okay, we gotta go to option B and that is guns. So every time there's a mass shooting, it's about the gun. And of course, the demand is for these kinds of guns, not all guns necessarily, but certainly these sort of dangerous guns, the AR-15 need to be outlawed.

Tsai shin said that bow a banker to the tech giants has been missing for several days. China pumped the most short term cash into its banking system ever on a daily basis.

Meantime, two of the fed's most hawkish policymakers signal that they may favor returning to bigger interest rate hikes in the future. One was St. Louis fed chief Jim bullard, bullard said he would not rule out supporting a half point rate hike in March.

Ken's a city fed chief Loretta mester made similar comments. But this song sure, the incoming data have not changed my view that we will need to bring the fed funds rate above 5% and hold it there for some time. Indeed, at our meeting two weeks ago, setting aside what financial market participants participants expected us to do, I saw a compelling economic case for a 50 basis point increase, which would have brought the top of the target range to 5%.

"Eric B enemy has done everything he is supposed to do to secure a head coaching job, says Louis Moore, Professor of history at grand valley state university, who specializes in African American and sports history. He's worked his way up, and he's won. If he was white, he would have a job. There's no question about that. According to one accounting, the enemy has interviewed 17 times with 16 different teams for head coaching positions since the chiefs reached the first of their 5 straight AFC championship games back in 2019. At this point, one reason often cited for his lack of opportunities that read not the enemy calls the place in Kansas City feels particularly hollow. Two former chiefs offensive coordinators Doug Peterson and Matt nagy under Reed were also not regular play callers for most of their tenures. Nor had they won super bowls in Kansas City like the enemy has. But both were hired as head coaches. Naggy by the Chicago Bears and Peterson with the eagles, where he won a Super Bowl. Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh did not call often plays as the special teams coach for the eagles before being hired as ravens head coach in 2008. Nor did Joe judge, another special teams coach, whom the New York Giants hired as head coach in 2020. Harbaugh won a Super Bowl and has held the job for 15 years. Judge was fired after two seasons. Less accomplished coaches, like steichen, are getting jobs before the enemy. Younger white coordinators, it seems, are more likely to be labeled offensive gurus or wunderkinds. Few have granted the enemy that cache. The enemy is going on probably the greatest 5 year offensive stretch in history right now, with the most dynamic quarterback ever, says more. And the chiefs are making a conscious effort to make him out to be the guy. What more do you need to be done? The NFL hasn't come to terms that there could be a black genius. To more, the enemy situation reveals the NFL's institutional struggles with racism. A group of former black NFL head coaches, for example, are suing the league for discrimination. Nearly 70% of NFL players are black, but just three of the league's 32 teams have black head coaches. Mike Tomlin and Pittsburgh, Todd Bowles, and Tampa Bay, and to make orions in Houston. Miami's Mike mcdaniel is biracial. Colin Kaepernick, a black quarterback who led a protest movement against racial injustice back in 2016, has been out of the league since then. Former Las Vegas Raiders quarterback John Gruden was fired after racist, sexist, and homophobic emails he sent were made public. The NFL used race norming in determining payouts were retired players under the league's $1 billion concussion settlement. This testing method assumed black players start with lower cognitive function, making it harder for them to show they suffer from a mental deficit linked to their playing days. After a lawsuit, and an uproar, the NFL agreed to end, race based testing in 2021. And his 34 years as owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones has never hired a black head coach. Todd Boyd, a Professor of race and popular culture at USC, points to a key comment that Jones made in a Washington Post article back in November. That story contained a picture of a teenaged Jones standing in a crowd of white boys, blocking the path of black students, seeking to desegregate an Arkansas high school back in 1957.

"Now 7 minutes after the hour, we're learning more about the terrifying moments of gunmen opened fire on the Michigan state university campus in east Lansing, killing three and injuring 5 others. Correspondent Clayton Neville has the latest. Reports of a gunman inside Berkeley hall on the Michigan state university campus came in just before 8 30 Monday night. Have I just been going on multiple victims? Audio from broadcasting captures the 9-1-1 dispatchers is more calls reporting shots fired came from the student union. We have at least four or 5 seconds at a time shooters in the hallway right now. Three killed in the gunman later found off campus dead from apparent suicide. Campus police deputy chief Chris rosman said there's no idea yet on a motive we can confirm that the 43 year old suspect had no affiliation to the university, current or previous. More being learned though about the shooter's past. He was on probation for a 2019 gun charge that reportedly involved carrying a gun illegally in a vehicle. He pleaded guilty to that charge to avoid a felony conviction which would have made it illegal for him to buy a gun with a misdemeanor though on his record and probation complete he could buy weapons legally. University interim president Theresa Woodruff said the communities hurting but will heal together. Together, we will come back more resilient than ever. Michigan governor and MSU alum Gretchen Whitmer noted the shooting came a day before the 5 year anniversary of the Valentine's Day massacre at marjory Stoneman Douglas high school in Parkland, Florida. We know this is a uniquely American problem. President Biden spoke on the Michigan state shooting. We have to do something to stop gun violence ripping apart our communities. And said he's determined to advance the fight against gun violence in Washington. There's a lot more work to do. The president specifically urged Congress to put what he called common sense gun law reforms in place to include banning assault weapons and high capacity magazines and requiring safe storage of guns. While lawmakers work on that, more American families are grieving. The MSU campus closed for at least a few days is the community plans vigils and funeral services for their classmates, and the 5 hertz work to recover. I'm Clayton Neville. It's 9 past.

The revelation comes as senators were briefed in a closed session about the Chinese balloon and three other unidentified objects that were shot down over the weekend.

I'm David Weston 5 years ago today, a gunman went into a high school in Parkland, Florida, and killed 17 individuals President Biden a short time ago. He's had this to tweet out. 5 years ago, a gunman committed an act of horror at marjory Stoneman Douglas high school. Today we mourn the 17 loved ones lost and pray for the countless loved ones left behind. For the lives lost and the lives we can save, we must ban assault weapons. That was President Biden tweeting a short time ago. Welcome now, the congresswoman who represents the district where that high school is. Debbie wasserman Schultz, she's democratic congresswoman from Florida. So cars went, thank you so much for being here. And what is in many ways a very difficult day. First of all, give us your reflections 5 years later about where we are today. Thank you for having me. 5 years later after the marjory Stoneman Douglas shootings that took 17 lives, there is still trauma deeply embedded in our community. There are former students who survived, who really are impacted psychologically, some who have never been able to progress their parents who some days who've lost loved ones some days, they can move forward. Others, they are paralyzed, the common denominator is that we still haven't done enough to prevent these types of mass shootings from ever happening again. And I couldn't agree with President Biden more. We need Savannah assault weapons in this country. There is no reason for anyone to have a military style weapon. In their personal collection, and what we certainly don't need to do is have a governor like ours in Florida, who is completely insensitive to what's happened here in our state, the pulse nightclub shooting, Marty Stoneman Douglas, and who is proposing permitless carry in the upcoming legislative session to put guns into untrained hands and essentially to proliferate all across our state. I want to come back to the governor's descendants in a moment, but just let me ask you 5 years later, the number of mass shootings has gone up. The number of children under 11 who died in schools have gone up, and some of those are assault weapons, many of them are not. And so I think all of us say we should do whatever it takes to stop this, but do we have a sense of what might stop it? Well, we certainly need to make sure that we can close all the loopholes. That prevents us from being able to make sure that no one who shouldn't have a gun can get one. We still have not fully closed the loopholes to ensure that full background checks, no matter how you are purchasing a weapon, are able to be conducted. And that's not legislation that we've been able to get past by the United States Congress. We did make progress with the safer communities act last year, past incentives for red flag laws were able to make significant investments in mental health funding. But we have got to make sure that we take the weapons out of the hands of people who should not have them. Whether they're a semi-automatic or any other type of weapon used in committing these shootings. I wonder congresswoman, maybe to put you on the spot a little bit. Do you stay in contact with some of the relatives of those lost in Parkland, particularly, do you have any reaction to what happened in Michigan state of any Lansing overnight? I do keep in regular contact with many of the families, you know, they are right up the road from my hometown and I sponsor legislation every year called Jamie's law, which would also apply background checks to the prohibited ammunition purchases that have no background checks whatsoever. Obviously, a gun is more dangerous when you can get access to the ammunition that actually kills people. And these families are still struggling, but they're still in the fight. So many of them have created foundations, and they're doing incredible work to try to advance the notion that we should make sure that we can keep people safe in their normal everyday environment. And not have to have the kids like our kids do, that when they walk into a classroom, they check the exits. My own daughter has told me that she checks the exits. In every inside dwelling that she enters, just to make sure that she would know how to quickly get out of God forbid something happened. That's not how our young people should be living today or anyone. Carter, given the gravity of this subject, it's hard to talk about anything else almost, but I do want to raise another subject. You mentioned governor desantis. Your governor in Florida. And one of the issues with governor Sanders, apart from guns is his position on ESG environmental social and governance investing really stopping Florida from investing pension plans in any organization that is basically according to ESG. This is part of what he's had to say on that subject. What it's devolved into is a mechanism to inject political ideology into investment decisions, corporate governance, and really just the everyday economy. That is not ultimately something that is going to work out well for us here in Florida or in the United States of America. Congressman, I wonder apart from whether you believe in some of the values that governor desantis believes in or not. Apart from the values, what effect does this have on pension plans? Is this helping pension plans invest in a way that they make as much money as they can for the pensioners so that they can pay the pensions? No, not only is it not helping grow our pension plans, governor desantis has essentially declared war on Wall Street. He really clearly doesn't understand the impact on corporations and businesses who simply want to make sure that they can operate ethically that they're making decisions that are going to improve their diversity, improve sustainability, improve transparency. I mean, those are all values that are good for business and governor desantis has declared war on those things. Either he doesn't understand the positive impact or the bottom line for businesses when they engage in those practices, or he's allergic to them, or he's just decided that culture warrior is his pathway to The White House. Or at least to the Republican nomination. It's damaging our economy here. It's going to make businesses less likely to locate here, it's also going to impact

It's going to be kinda fascinating to see ultimately which direction they go with danny duffy but he could potentially net them their biggest return coming back and number twenty five we have the pittsburgh pirates twenty nine and forty eight. The pirates are six three with a pair of series. Wins since a ten game losing streak earlier this month so they were lower in these rankings. A few weeks ago but playing better baseball over the last ten days they took three or four from the cardinals in saint louis over the weekend which was certainly a surprise and the cardinals. Continue to struggle a bit. We'll get to them here shortly. Adam frazier was ten for twenty three the past week. Brian reynolds eleven for twenty five. So both of those guys led the way at the plates over the past seven to ten days Both of those guys are worthy of all star consideration not sure either of them will be a starter but certainly up for debates on whether or not they should be on the squad and number twenty four. We have the miami marlins the marlins are the only team in baseball with a positive run differential and a losing record and not just a losing record but eleven twelve games under five hundred and the run. Differential is plus seventeen so this obviously suggests that they're playing a bit better baseball than their win. Loss record indicates but they haven't been over five hundred in quite some time right. They went to and four again last week so they can continue to slide down as the record gets worse and worse but they must win by a run and lose by ten or a win by ten and lose by a run because plus seventeen at twelve games under is just very difficult to do. But they're just not a great ballclub all around and number twenty three. We have the minnesota twins. The pitching continues to let down the twins. Big time this season. The starting rotation ranks twenty fifth in the majors with a four point nine two era the bullpen checks in not much better at twenty third with a four point. Seven seven era. They've got eleven blown saves in thirty chances so they are playing better baseball the past week. They're seven and two in their last nine games after they took two out of three from cleveland over the weekend but they still have a long way to go be in ten games under five hundred and with some of the other teams in that. Al central division. It's going to be tough sledding for the twins to get back into consideration here as it is already july right. It's getting late early there in the twin cities and number twenty two. We have the detroit. Tigers detroit's played roughly five hundred baseball since they went eight. Nineteen in the month of april so for the month of may and the month of june. They've been pretty solid right. They held her own in a four-game split over the astros over the weekend. The rotation ranked seventeenth in the majors. Four point zero three era. Casey mayes has been solid eight innings. Three four six. Era to reeks. Google seventy seven innings. Four point zero six leading the way so it looks like the future's bright in detroit the rotation is certainly starting to fill out then offensively you got some high end picks who should be up in the major leagues if not at the end of this summer certainly in the near future so the future starting to look bright in detroit here again it may not be the presence but the future certainly looking better and better for the era or the saint louis cardinals. Arizona cardinals play football. The saint louis cardinals coming in at number twenty one. If you take away a three game sweep of the marlins in the middle of the month. They've gone four and seventeen outside of that series with a minus forty eight run differential in the month of june. I mean again i. It's it's it's tough in saint louis because they've gone from buyers almost two sellers right like there's conversations in saint louis about who they're going to sell. Who could they get back. Which way are they going to go. They also have an upcoming ten game road trip because they've struggled against away from busch stadium. This could decide their season again. We're getting into july. And if you get into the middle of july and your five ten games under five hundred with the brewers and cubs playing good baseball that's going to be a bit of an uphill battle there in saint louis. I thought this team was better than they've played so far but again they struggled this month mightily and it'll be interesting to see if they can overcome some of their mishaps at number twenty the los angeles angels. The angels have flirted with the five hundred mark. They've been above five hundred a few days here this month but they just can't get any momentum going. They went one in four against the giants and raised during a tough week was a tough schedule week as well. Some travel some off days. So can they make up enough ground in a tough american league west to potentially buyers coming up in the month of july. I'm not sure. And i mean they may have the mvp of the american league. I mean right now. Show shohei. Otani has got to be the leader in the clubhouse. The guy has twenty seven home runs. He's pitching do like a two five eight era. He's doing it all right. He's fantastic on the hill. He's fantastic at the plate. Mike trout of course remains injured. And it looks like he's going to be out through the all star break but goodness gracious the angels. The pitching staff outside of otani is one of the main reasons why they continue to hover around five hundred and a few games. Under under five hundred a number. Nineteen the philadelphia phillies. I mean right handrail. In nola tied the major league record for ten consecutive strikeouts. We talked about that on mondays. Episode zack wheeler continues to dominate. He's been the ace of the staff. He's been electric since coming over from the mets. If you combine twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. Statistics ziara is in.

But he's averaging a career high of eleven points about four or five assists same with the rebounds and he's just the kind of a slashing player he gets the ball in his hands he goes right to the hoop he tries to get the ball into the hoop from short closer distance. Maybe if you jump shots here and there but he's a slashing young athletic player. The thunder needed priv- shooter.

Quick both schools of qualified for this year's tournament for michigan state. It being the twenty third year in a row which is amazing. Because that means like the last time i didn't qualify. I couldn't watch rated movies. I couldn't really do much by myself. Because i was seven with michigan on and off but shows it like they are continuously still being seen as one of the best teams in the nation definitely because they've taken over number one seat in the eastern division as for michigan state. They have the eleven seed and a plan game. I think the first ever play in game in the eastern michigan state especially seeing as those have not really been around for too long they play. Ucla and if they win they will then play against byu. Which is a match. I think if they beat. Ucla they should be byu and michigan and their matchup. They play mount. Saint mary's or texas southern as those who are playing games if they beat those teams which they should they will play either. Lsu or a saint bonaventure and a lot of michigan state.

MSU Spartans... Presented by Rocket Mortgage?
"Michigan state has announced that its basketball team will now be called the msu spartans presented by rocket mortgage. You sit on a throne of lies. I would think so barat. it's true. Now here's the saving grace at. I believe in the way. I'm reading it. This is a story on. Yahoo is says the team will be called the michigan. The msu you know it presented by rocket mortgage at the breslin center. That's how they'll be known throughout the breslin center which is their home court their home arena so my guess rob is when near now announces a team. That's what he's going to call them at the beginning to gain when they come out for warm ups right before the game whatever. They're the msu sparks as presented by rocket mortgage. I don't expect that when they go elsewhere people are going to refer to them as that maybe they'll announce that before the game but obviously throughout the game everywhere you go. Call them the spartans or michigan state. You think i'm wrong. I mean there's it doesn't make it that much better but it makes it a little better to me. It's total nonsense. It's a allowed. Everything's not for sale. I'm sorry chris. I still respect the steinbrenner family. Chris for not taking the name. They could have put a name on yankee stadium on my right yes or no and made its montemar. Names right all right yankee stadium. How about madison square garden. Could it be very heels right. Could it be american express field reno. I mean they give me making money off of it and they won't do it. Can we have something. Everything's not for sale. I get it dan gilbert. Who was the president of ragweed and look is an alum. He went there. He loves the sports. He tried to hire tommaso to coach the cast. Chris i get the relationship. He's he's a spartan just beat the presenting sponsor when they when they make that announcement. You don't need to the msu sports presented by rocket mortgage. Why would you do that to your alma mater right. Well that's what i'm saying if it's anything but what i said right if is anything but okay well. We announced the team. You know we're announcing the starting lineup. The now star lineup. So the ms you spartans presented by rocket mortgage. But okay. i can deal with that. But if there you got jerseys now. And if that's what their official name is going to be elsewhere. There's a major problem. And i agree with you like and this is just this just shows the other greed. We talked about it and they're not paying players these deals. This is just a pity of the degree of this now rob. I'll even say this. I would've rather them. Just call them. The msu rockets michigan state rockets. Not is that this is ridiculous. This really is bad. And i just don't understand what all the money my god is it. Okay right don't get every nickel chris. I still would have been a sponsor right. There's tons of money probably just not as much maybe wide. I don't know how much is enough. I don't get it seriously. It's ridiculous like i say again.

In case there's an active shooter situation. For example, you are the hidden protector. You're not looking for a fight. But you're willing to finish it.

She's hopeful the Montana University system will challenge the new law in court, but Deputy Commissioner Kevin McRae thinks that's unlikely. Instead, he says, the Board of Regents will probably implemented law with an eye toward the 10 states that currently allow students to carry guns on campus. But even the areas that we look to for best practices there are different nuances that Keep this sort of uncharted water and knew. For example, McCrae says, Montana will be the only state to allow 18 year olds to carry guns in dorms for NPR News and Kevin traveling in Helena.

Second way will Don banks alive in and Jim this will be the only time Penn State and Miss you say we'll meet this regular season and I thought for the folks that I haven't seen your ball club. Maybe you could just start off by giving our listeners a little Thumbnail description of your team. Sure, sure. You know what? We're first of all. Thanks for having me. You know what? We're little undersized for the big 10 this year. You know, we don't have that big Seven photo Like a lot of these guys in the league this year, we were on the side, even sometimes of the guard spot, But we're we got a bunch of tough, scrappy guys. You know, we played a really fast pace. We get up and down the floor. You know, we play quickly, both offensively and defensively. We're You know, I wouldn't say we have a star that we go to. I think we kind of all just play off each other, share the basketball and like I say, play off of strength of each other, And we kind of let the ball find us a shot instead of trying to, you know, medically thing to get it to somebody, but we're tough, scrappy group. I think we've been getting better with battling, you know, in this big 10 and Off the command to Pete Real hard, especially state or Jim, your ball club like Michigan said You hadn't the shutdown. Thanks to Cove it But all of a sudden now, these last six games you won Forman, what has been the thing It's got this team rolling again. Well with us. It was like I said, the ability to play because even before we got shut down, it's like we were playing every 10 days. Our first game of the season got canceled and just how scheduling worked out. We didn't play the next Christmas Day. Christmas day after so we really liked it didn't get in the flow. We just never had a lot of games get in rhythm, and then you know you don't have the normal pre season. I think we've only played 15 games and pride of that. We would like five games behind everybody else. Our league. So for us, it was just getting in game rhythm. You know, we practiced so much and just trying to figure out which pieces fit what rotations work together playing lives. I think we just needed to play and Coming out of that pause. We played four games in seven days. And you know, we had to start at Purdue at Illinois, where one day in between. And although we didn't win those games, I think it definitely helped us get back and or basketball conditioning it back in that basketball groove that we're actually fortune enough to win the last two games of that week. So for us, it's just playing on Daz. The more we've played, the better we've gotten. Jim, you've you've got a lot of balanced scoring when I look up, and then you almost have four guys averaging double digits. And obviously John Harry gives your presence down low is I look at your team is they were an X factor guy in this group that could jump up and be the guy that gave you some success here today. The guy that's been the X factor for us. It is John Hera. You know, he just emptied the tank every single night. Was wherever we need. Rebound, the basketball defending making his free throws on He's been Mr consistent for us. Is that what we need? You know, I think I'd like marrying Jones and Isaiah Brockington. You know, when they get in a groove, they start playing well, You know, we gotta be chance to be pretty good. And then you know, a big key for us has been, you know, Settle Indian and Miles Dredd. You know if both of those guys play well, then they were really good. If one plays well, we have a chance. You're pretty good. So just mattering matter of the group is being really consistent. Well, some final thoughts. Maybe in keys of this one for Penn State. Well, you know, obviously rebounding. You gotta re valuable against Michigan State. You got to give yourself a chance by doing that, You know, I try to simplify it for guys. You know, we got to get back and convert.

Then it's Justin Armed with seven points, of course, the younger brother of Kyle ARNs. Hey has seven with two triples. They're in that first half. Also Justice suing with six points in the 1st 20 minutes due in Washington Jr with five Zed Key, with four C. J. Walker with for Callie Young with four and Seth towns has three that gives Ohio State 42 points at the break. Meanwhile, for Michigan State, leading the way Joey Hauser with nine points. It's Aaron Henry in Joshua Langford each with five for the Spartans from there. Julius Marble had three in the first half. Marcus being him junior to Thomas Kid threw it to Molly. Call with two and rocket. What's with two? That gives the green and white 30 at the halftime break. Also a couple other quick numbers to point out Michigan State just six turnovers. They're in that first half now, If you remember the last time out against Rutgers, MSU really struggled with ball Security had 21 turnovers on Lee six here in the first half, which is a good sign, But if you look at Ohio State, the Buckeyes only have one turnover at the halftime break, and Ohio State's been able to claim eight points off of turnovers on Michigan State. Six. So although M issues have proved Ohio State really taking care of the basketball right now? And also Ohio State, five of 12 from deep MSU, shooting two of 10 from beyond the arc.

Breaking Green Ceilings
Investigating Gender Dimensions of Wildlife Trafficking
"So thank you so much again Elena for spending time with us on breaking green ceilings really appreciated. So we're here today to talk to you about your journey in pursuing a degree in Zoology and in particular your research interest in the gender dimensions of urban push me trafficking which should be a very interesting conversation and I'd like us to start from someone the beginning and that is if you could tell us how did you develop your passion for the natural environments? Yeah, so I'm originally from Michigan. I've grown up in Michigan and I spent most of my childhood going to the Detroit Zoo like my family had a membership and that's where I spend like all my Summers would just be going to the same with my grandparents and I used to keep like this dinky little composition notebook and I would just fill it with animal facts. So it's always just been like a huge passion for me with wildlife and with my own pets at home. So it's just kind of been a part of me for as long Remember really is there a specific or specific exhibits that you enjoyed? I love anteaters. I really love animals with weird noses. I have no wage. But yeah, I was just thinking of all the animals with weird noses Nas elephant yet opens artworks links long noses salamanders. Yes. There's just like smushed their to their faces, right? Yeah funny interesting fact so long and I guess that's how you decided that you wanted to pursue a degree in Zoology then yeah. Yeah. So just having that I ever run from like my high school or life my town you went to Michigan State or you went somewhere else in Michigan and I knew Michigan state had a really great zoology program, so I ended up going there and I really enjoyed it. And so how did you suck? Moving from high school system to a college system can be quite daunting. I know it was for me as a foreign student. How was that experience for you transitioning? So, I had actually didn't go to MSU for my freshman year because I was kind of a Wanderer and I wanted to try different like go to a different state and try something new. So I spent my freshman year in Vermont a small College called Green Mountain College and I went there for a year and we're studying animal conservation and care. They're so from my high school where I had two thousand people. I went to a school that had four hundred people and then when I transferred to State they had fifty thousand. So yeah, it was very extremes. Yeah, very huge extremes. I think it was awful difficult. Just trying to find like my people in my community, but being able to figure that out kind of quickly, I think was really helpful for me and being able to make that transition, right and what time Mean by your people so finding people who like share the same interests as me or have like the same goals within their life and like what they wanted to do was really impactful. So the summer before I transferred to Michigan State, I did a Wildlife Rehabilitation internship and I met some of my very close friends that I'm still friends with today. And that was about two years ago that I meant that we were still really really close because of that. Yeah, that's a really great way to transition now into a bigger Community I guess and I was really intimidated when I was looking for black colleges and universities. I ended up going to a small liberal arts college and I think we were maybe like 300 to 400 students and it felt very comfortable cuz I guess you know everyone sometimes that can feel uncomfortable too because everyone knows you yeah, especially for an introvert so and then just thinking about how massive em Who is and other similar institutions it may feel like you're just a cow like a cattle station one. That's a bad analogy because yeah, cuz it's a good implications of getting slaughtered in-depth what not. I mean, it just feels like yeah really overwhelming. So then how does it work in terms of determining? What courses you should be taking in order to fulfill the requirements for the degree? And do you have like somebody who guides you through that? So I was really lucky when I transferred because I was off first student from my previous college to transfer to Michigan State and I was you honestly didn't really know what to do. So they just kind of accepted all my credits and then if I said something qualified, they just accepted it was really nice. Yeah. It was really nice and my degree is pretty flexible because with in Zoology you take like the basic science classes and then at State you have a dog Frustration and my concentration is very very flexible. There's not that many courses. So it's helped me a lot with my research is where I'll find like a gap in my knowledge or something and I'm able to take classes that still count towards my degree in some capacity.

"Michigan was one of the State's first at bat against a huge outbreak of corona virus. Michigan hit its peak in April reporting a high of more than eighteen hundred new cases on April. The third new cases remained above fifteen hundred for days that month Governor Gretchen whitmer declared a state of emergency by April first she closed all schools throughout the academic year hospitals were overrun even as workers faced layoffs and paycuts thousands. Of medical workers came down with the virus as they struggled to treat patients, and by the end of the month, the state ranked third for the highest number of coronavirus fatalities in the country Michigan struggled to bend the curve, but Michigan came through the curve bent. Now, the question is whether Michigan can stay out of the red zone and the state has seen a few smaller waves since the worst of it this spring, there was the outbreak last month that. Harper's bar the popular haunt for Michigan State University which reopened to an unexpectedly large crowd on June. The eighth local reporters found young patrons lining up less than six feet apart, and then packing the dance floor like they would on an ordinary non pandemic night. No masks to see in that picture state health officials later link that bar nearly two hundred new infections and today Michigan posted one of its higher totals of statewide new cases for the past couple of. Months and that's concerning especially because everywhere in the country right now, educators are trying to figure out how to get education going again it's basically every state and in some instances, every school district or even school for themselves at Michigan, State, in East Lansing, they're exploring a combination strategy that's going to be new to them, and that might be new for anyone else and it starts with a spit test developed at the university by neuroscience professor named Jack Lipton this man. The kit costs around three dollars a piece, and as you can see, it's pretty simple. You can do this in the privacy of your own apartment or dorm room you put your sample in the vial with the Little Barcode you seal it in the bag and Wallah your part is over the lab at Michigan State will take your sample and combine it with others in what is known as pool testing, which maybe you've heard about recently, the idea behind pulled testing is that it can help labs do more way more with weight less instead of having each person take their own. Separate test you pull the samples from a small number of people about a dozen and you run a single test on that pool of the pool turns up positive only then do you need each person in the pool to take a test but if the pool turns up negative, you're done the single test covered a dozen people in a place where you expect a lot of negatives. Pool testing is remarkably efficient at Michigan state. They're going to step further than that. Each volunteer who takes a spit test goes into separate pools of about ten or so people so think about it like. Two teams. You're Miami Dolphin and a Seattle Seahawk, or you're Houston rocket and in Minnesota Timber Wolves choose your metaphor. The point is if two pools come back with positive results, it can only mean one thing. The lab just finds the person who belongs to both pools using a handy grid like this one, and then recommends that that person get a follow up diagnostic test. It's like playing Bingo be six Bingo you might have corona virus. That's what Professor Lipton plans to do with samples from MSU volunteers testing two thousand of them every day and referring any apparent positives for an individual diagnostic test. Now, the third and most unusual part of this plan has to do with sewage scientists are discovering that they can spot a rising rotavirus cases early on by texting. Communities, Wastewater Michigan State, professor, Joan Rose and her team have been testing the campus wastewater. Since April she says, they noticed a peak in the virus that lined up with the news about an outbreak at a college hang out which demonstrated that there sewage diving expeditions worked I made that up I don't know if they're actually diving. For the testing this fall, the idea is to sample the wastewater from different places on campus so that they can get hyper local data if they can get good enough at sampling and turning around their result in a timely fashion, their work could act as an early alert system for Michigan State perhaps, even at the level of individual buildings. So you've got the pool testing with the affordable spit kits you've got expanded. Diagnostic testing. But literally just for those people who appear to be positive or just playing turn-up sick and then you've got the wastewater testing which increasingly looks like a functioning means of getting a warning in time to react if the plan works, it could help the university find and contain outbreaks. If it works the plan could help Michigan State and it's sixty seven thousand students stay on campus and have something like a semester. Joining us now is the aforementioned Dr Jack? Lipton. Of Translational Neuroscience at Michigan State University Dr Lipton. Thank you for being with us. We've heard about pool testing I want you to tell us a little more about it and why it it specifically helpful in this instance what what about Michigan State makes it a perfect candidate for the pooling of spit. What would you think about full testing end and Michigan state one of the things that you're that is really important to understand that the resources that we have is that university are fairly limited. Bright. But we're not a multinational corporation. So funds are limited resources are limited and pooling allows us to. have. More. More test being done with the same amount of resources or with less resources. So in this case, if we're dealing with supply chain issues with testing if we can test ten people with reagents that we would need to test one person, then we are were saving a lot in terms of of supplies, and if we don't have to run ten tests and we can run one test, we save a lot of time. So if you can save time and you can save supplies, you're going to Yeah. Ultimately conserve and that's really what our goal is and this. This works 'cause you're not expecting a large proportion of people to have this thing right. So generally speaking a bunch of these pools, we'll come out negative. Right. pools if you if you have about ten people in a pool in your expectation is maybe seeing two or three out of a hundred people. Show up positive than most of your pools are going to be negative. The more the prevalence increases the more the rates of infection increase. Then you're going to have more and more positive bulls. If one out of every ten people are positive than a pool of ten, most likely is going to have a positive individual in it. So you have to really balance pool size and prevalence together in order to come up with the right balance to save resources and save time. So the this actually could have broader implications There's a Wall Street Journal op-ed that you wrote about a previous test not this one that we're talking about, but it was a concept of pulling in you set across the United States tens of thousands of similar academic research labs have the expertise and equipment to help the country test for covid nineteen. If even one tenth of these labs joined the effort we could. Test an additional five, hundred thousand to one million samples a day. Your larger point here is that there are ways to get to more people and and then figure it out early rather than what we're in right now where there are some places where people are waiting in excess of seven days for typical test results in a in a concentrated environment like Michigan state you can. You can see things early and intervene. Absolutely and I think it's really important to note when you're talking about the pet that we put together. The vast amount of resources and know how that existed the academic laboratories universities across the country. Each one of the things that we've proposed was to develop biomedical National Guard and utilize all of these individual laboratories across the country and have them be organized through the federal government in order to be able to respond to pandemics or other natural disasters with biomedical know-how and that if we could get something like that done if the next administration is interested in doing something like that, we can be. Proactive instead of reactive in these kinds of situations. Wow. That's incredible because you just answer the question I was going to ask I was going to say, Hey, what can government do to take advantage of these kinds of resources and you just answer that I just want to say that again, a biomedical National Guard what a great simple idea resources all over the country run by different people but the the government of the United States providing the centralization for the data and the distribution. If you think about all of the laboratories and universities that were shut down as a result of the pandemic so many people were were sitting home like I sitting home on on zoom all day. If we have opportunity to come back into the laboratory and help. We can do so much in terms of trying to not only develop new new treatments and and working on new methods of detection, which is what our laboratory did during during April we can marshal all of these resources all. Know How that exists in order to to. Attack this problem in a concerted and coordinated way. Lifting. There's not a lot of great news about Krono virus, but I have to tell you after this conversation. I'm optimistic that there are people like you around this country who are actually in this moment while everything looks as grim as it is finding solutions that are going to help us see the other side of the coronavirus. Dr. Jack Lift Lipton is the chair and professor of translational neuro size. I don't even know what that is. We'll talk about that another time at Michigan State University. Thank you for all that you are doing and good luck to you at Michigan. State, we'll stay on top of this with you.
