"Little to improve conditions in their workplaces until it was too late. The lack of federal paid sick leave in the U.S. was a massive hindrance to controlling COVID-19. In some countries, people who had to isolate or quarantine were not given financial or food support, making it much harder for them to comply. Too few places instituted what Tufts University epidemiologists and colleagues call humane shelter at home, a term that highlights both the public health benefits of shelter in place and also the need to provide social protections such as income assistance that help vulnerable populations, whether the storm. But the problem with all this complexity is that it is an to the tedious simplicity that surrounds most COVID-19 retrospection. It's easy to argue that ill define lockdowns have caused unimaginable harm, or that even the most extreme ongoing NPIs are a great idea. It is, however, far harder to ask difficult questions like when is it reasonable to close schools due to infectious diseases or to stay at home orders have a marginal benefit or harm when coupled with a range of other NPIs or even could we have achieved the same reduction in cases with less damaging interventions? Unfortunately, difficult questions don't win any political points, even though they are the most important ones to answer. Imagine if the next pandemic comes along, and it turns out to be uniquely harmful to children. We have no choice but to close schools, but we've made no progress on how to mitigate the harms of school closures. It would be an entirely preventable disaster. Until we can start having public discussions that focus on figuring out the best way to combat a pandemic rather than assigning blame we're never going to know what to do with the next novel virus comes along, which is a problem, because one thing virtually every expert agrees on is that we will face another pandemic, just like COVID-19, or even more deadly at some point in the future. Hopefully, we can get ready for it.

"85. One more time. One 804 9 8 17 85. Let's bring doctor NI 11 back online with us. Doc, I think you may have said this early. It actually targets the actual cause of joint problems rather than just the symptoms in itself. And that's a big deal. You could take a non steroidal anti inflammatory and cover up the symptoms. That's going to work better than anything. But what's going to happen, you're going to ruin yourself over the course of time. We don't want to do that. So we're not just covering up we're not masking symptoms here. We're actually rebuilding or regenerating joint cartilage. This is amazing stuff. So you're basically taking your knee joint and in essence, you're making it younger. You're taking your hip joint and in essence, you're adding cartilage to that joint. That's astounding and at the same time, you're telling your body, hey, cool it. Don't break down as much cartilage. And this is the balance we're looking for. We want to make more cartilage. We want to break down less cartilage, and that's what happens when you use my collagen pro clinical, and that's why purities given this way really relatively cheap. I mean, if you came to my office to purchase this, you're going to pull up pay a lot more, but purity is trying to get this in people's hands because they know once they try it, they're going to say, hey, this stuff is really working great for me and they're going to want to become a purity products customer. Well, it's a win win too. You know as well as I do. When you get a little bit older your mind says, I can do that, but my body says not so fast. Hey, I want to go over those four R's again with you because this is what I think really sets the my collagen formula apart from the others in terms of the Harvard and Tufts University study. And it's how it gets to the core of the problem, right? I mean, it gets right into it, correct? Right, it's exactly that. We're told when we talk about four hours, we're talking about regenerating, revitalizing, restoring, and regrowing, regrowing cartilage. Steve, imagine that you're on an ice skating rink. And people are a lot of skaters out there and they're skating way too long. The ice is getting pitted and cracked and it's just not smooth anymore. So what happens now? You call the zamboni guy and everybody's got to get off the ice as zamboni guy pumps water water and freezes it up and puts a nice fresh coating of water on there. Turns it into Tyson. Now you have this very smooth ice skating work. Well, imagine that's your knee joint, right? You want that smooth, comfortable cushiony cartilage that's really smooth. That's what you want in your knee joint. It's like going in there with the zamboni machine and resurfacing their joints so you're really, really comfortable. That's what these MRI studies verify is happening. That's what is happening, and that's what probably well over a dozen, maybe about 15 studies by now show that's happening in young people and an older people. You just going to be more comfortable and you're going to look better when you use my college and pro clinical because it's got the joint collagen peptides that help build cartilage and it's got the hair skin and nail peptides that help plump up that dermis that increase the activity in the dermal layer that's the layer below the epidermis and what do you see when you plump up the dermis, it kind of pushes those cracks, those wrinkles back up so you see reduction in wrinkle volume around the eyes across the face, your skin plumps up. It gets thicker. It gets more or elastic. You start to feel better. You start to look better. You have less wrinkles and fine lines. And, you know, the one thing I worry about when I talk like this, Steve, was I worried about it. It's not believable, right? That's what some of my patients look at me in disbelief. They can really happen. Yes, this is reality. This is Harvard studies, tough studies, Penn State university of Freiburg, dozens and dozens of studies on our college and peptides double blind placebo controlled. These are human studies. So don't miss out. You don't want to 20 years from now and say, wow, I probably should have used college and way back then. No, you want to start to use it now, so then decade, two decades, three decades, you're more comfortable and you look better. Oh, this is great. Doc, so much great information so much to absorb right now, leaning on science. I love it when you and I do these shows together. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us. Thanks for having me, Steve. If you've been listening to the show and you've been blown away by the information that's been shared, this weekend we have an amazing product with purity clinically validated my collagen formula.

"Just not making collagen as rapidly as you used to, and it's slowing down, and you're breaking down collagen faster. And when you realize collagen, hey, this is my hair, my skin, my nails. This is my joint health. My cartilage, my muscles, the tendons, the ligaments. This is something you want to replace. These are the tissues that make life fun. This is what you use to play golf and tennis and go on a hike and play with your grandkids. Hey, you want to look great, right? You want people to look at you and think you look great. It's all about collagen, but not any collagen is going to work this way. It has to be this specific loft and key collagen peptides. So that's why we have both of our peptides together here. So you get the collagen joint cartilage peptides. Those are very specific. They are about 3.3 kilodaltons. They're the ones that signal to the conjugate in your cartilage to make more collagen. So you're making more joint cartilage you're breaking down less. Then we have our other hair skin and nail collagen peptides together in the same formula. Those are the ones that are about two kilo daltons. They signal to the fibroblasts in your skin, make more of that dermal layer that dermal layer plumps up. What do you see? The epidermis looks better. The wrinkles go away. The crow's feet start to go away and you look better in the mirror. Your skin is plumper. It's thicker, it's firmer, it's more or less. You know, I literally, beside myself with a hair benefit here. I'm a really curious about it. And I know my wife, Kim, will be as well. In fact, she was just texting me earlier about the telephone number. I want you to elaborate on the innovative benefit with a purity hair and skin peptides for a mom, because I know you just talked about the joint, but the hair benefit here, this is clinically validated in a new study, right? So what happened? So in this study over the course of 16 weeks, the women did fantastic. Each strand of hair measured had an increased diameter in the women that were on our hair skin in our collagen peptides versus the placebo group their hair got thinner. Also in the test tube study, they saw a dramatic 31% increase in the proliferation rates of the human hair follicle cells that were exposed to our collagen peptides. So that's how it works. We were getting increased activity at the mitochondrial level increased activity in these hair follicle cells, and that's why there were two increase the thickness of hair. It's almost like a youthful aging reset for your hair follicles. That's amazing. I want to turn our attention back to the joint and mobility here for a moment because like we've been saying to my collagen joint peptides, they can accomplish something that other joint supplements simply can not do. And that is namely regenerate joint cartilage. This is amazing here with the headline from the nutra ingredients dot com saying, quote, bioactive collagen peptide scientifically proven to regenerate joint cartilage. That got my attention. And with all that doctor Levin, this is backed by a Harvard and Tufts University research, right? I mean, this peaked my curiosity because, well, I'm over 50. My joint comfort is starting to come into play here. But why do you call this really a game changer for joint comfort and joint mobility Doc? Right, right. I'm glad you brought up that study done it. Tufts University medical center in conjunction with Harvard. They looked at our bioactive collagen peptides, a 5 gram dose that's exactly what you're getting. You're going to get in my college and pro clinical. And they looked at knee joints of folks in their 50s. Now, you look at knee joints of folks in their 50s, they're going to be, there's going to be some degenerative changes. It starts to happen. And in these very specific MRI studies, the degrading cartilage looks red, the new cartilage looks green. Well, you look at the placebo group. This is about a one year study, 48 weeks. And the placebo group, you see more and more red on these MRIs, they're getting more rapid, degradation of cartilage. And this is what happens over time to people, or you lose in cartilage in the knee joint. This is not a surprise. This is just what happens. But you look at our collagen peptide group and is less and less red to the point where a 48 weeks you almost can't see any and there's more and more green. That's indicating that the folks on my college and pro clinical peptides were making more fresh collagen at the knee joint. Steve, this is the Holy Grail of joint comfort nutrition. Oh, it's big. More fresh cartilage. If you asked me 20 years ago, if this could be done, it's a Steve that can't be done. We have to protect what we have. This is a retread. We're actually adding more cartilage to the knee joint to the hip joint, more cartilage in general. How does it work when you take our very special collagen peptides with this lock and key mechanism, the perfect fingerprint that 3.3 kilodalton size, it signals to the pump out more fresh collagen and at the same time reduce the amount of collagen you're breaking down. Net net, you have more cartilage in your joints. This has been shown at studies at Penn State. That studies at the university of Freiburg, Germany, in this Harvard and Tufts University study, again and again and again, studies on about 2500 people show that our collagen peptides are extremely effective. So if you want to be more comfortable as you're getting older, if you want to look better as you're getting older and I would say who doesn't. Collagen peptides are a must. Doctor Levin, I want to take a moment and give out that phone number for our listeners to call. We've been talking about this youthful aging super formula. Nothing you've ever tried.

Valerie and John, I'd like to welcome you to the show and first and foremost Valerie. You don't have to tell me how would you get to be passionate about cats. Thanks for having us. So, you know, I am interest areas in a few things to be animal welfare and conservation issues and public health and human behavior and those are all things I've looked at academically and professionally and community cats certainly touches upon all of those areas. And so just through all of your education, I'm somewhat familiar with the tufts program and it's sort of for folks that are interested in thinking outside of the box, I think, with regards to animals and how we treat animals and our society. And there have been some great projects that have come out of that experience. So how was it at tufts? How was that program? It was, it was fantastic. It was a really a really great program. And as you mentioned in the introduction, my final project was interviewing clients of reduced costs, they neuter clinic focused on cats and trying to understand more about their stories and the stories of the animals that came to the clinic with the ultimate goal of potentially putting in place policies solutions or outreach approaches that could better serve people and animals. And John, you've been involved with the community cats podcast a few times before and how did you become passionate about cats through all the research that you've been doing?

"Than what it is and that just seems all wrong to me. So the hunt for the right word seems important. And so I was intrigued by your use of that term. And you know, usually I ask this at the front, but we got right into this. How did you come to foundation work? Well, I've always been very focused on public health, especially the intersection of nutrition and food. And with a colleague of mine, a wonderful colleague of mine at Tufts University where I did most of my work. Christina economists, we cofounded a project called child obesity one 80 and did a lot of work with the former First Lady, Michelle Obama, with her let's move campaign and we were looking for funding. I was still at tufts at the time. We were looking for funding and I thought to myself, gosh, Newman's own. I know that they support endeavors like this. And somehow, I know we don't accept non solicited proposals, but part of this is networking and understanding what they were doing. And in the end, we ended up with some support for it after school program for children. And I got more and more fascinated with Newman's own and because again, using the power of the commercial side to fund the nonprofit side, I thought was fascinating. And then I ended up being a board member on the food company. So I was a board member and then there were some leadership transitions and at the foundation. And I got asked to take on and be the president and CEO. So I started as a grantee, which is I think the best way to start because you have a lot of empathy and understanding. But the work is very similar, you know, as I've had in the past thinking about, how do you create positive change in the world? How do you think about policy? How do you think about entrepreneurship? How do you think about programs, resources? So I feel like I'm using my full skill set in my current position. What, how joyful is that? I interviewed another guest not long ago. And where that person wound up was so obvious where that person was going to end up when you actually heard the past and the passion. And so, but what a lovely thing when those things align and you find yourself sitting in a seat that actually allows you to bring everything you're carrying with you to the work. I wanted to end with this question. So you were a grantee, you deal with many grantees every year. And this is a, you know, my jam is fueling and supporting and championing leaders in the nonprofit sector. What have you learned about leadership in the sector as someone who is a funder to lots and lots of grantees? What have you learned.

"Good option, but short term. What matters most is the competition between Coal and natural gas. Daniel Cohen teaches environmental engineering at Rice University. We've seen a big surge in natural gas prices and and that really favors coal being used more for electricity. That's not because coal as a resource is currently cheaper than natural gas. Instead. Steve Sakala, an associate professor of economics at Tufts University, says the opposite is true. When demand starts to recover. What that means is that you're already using these other resources, you're going to start to use more of whatever you're most expensive resources and in many places that marginal fuel is coal. He says. Many coal fired power plants, said Idol these days but can still be activated and coal lobbyists like Michelle Bloodworth, CEO of America's Power says that's exactly why coal still needs to be part of the energy transition strategy. Cold must be an integral part of that strategy for a foreseeable future. If we all want to continue to maintain, keep our lights on and have affordable electricity.

"Actually related to the performance of these companies now and in the future. They have now formed less and less and less of a part of the S and P 500. Profit levels have taken a hammering over the last few years, and many of them have now making more ambitious commitments. But they are relying on offsets. Um the idea that some nature forests somewhere else in the world will absorb the emissions that this company is going to release due to its activities. And I think that there is some deep skepticism that that's going to be a sufficiently ambitious way for the fossil fuel, exploitative companies of the developed world and of the West and to move forward. There is also a deep inequity, I think in the approach to offsets from some companies, of course, nature is a solution until trading voluntarily. The carbon sequestration capacity of forest against A company or a country somewhere else in the world is going to form part of the way in which we move forward, but I think the question that is asked by many people in those countries is why does the sequestration capacity of our forests have to be used to mitigate the business development strategy of an oil and gas company in the North Sea? And so there's some really profound economic and moral questions that are being posed to these fossil fuel companies, and I would expect to see more court cases not less in the future.

Patrick Radden Keefe on Empire of Pain
"Patron kief joins us now. His new book is called empire of pain. the secret history of the sackler dynasty. Patrick thanks for being here. Thanks so much for having me back. So let's start with a very basic question. In case people are not aware of the sackler family and why he would be writing about them with title like empire of pain. who are the sackler. So this sort of to waste answer that question until a few years ago what. The sackler name Generally to to the extent that people were aware of this family it was a very wealthy family. One of the wealthiest families in the united states with a branch in the uk in london and they were known chiefly for philanthropy right art museum wings. Hundreds of millions of dollars to art museums and universities and medical research and would very often put their name on these bequests. If you you know in new york city go to the metropolitan museum of art and there's the sackler wing And that was what they were known for. What was more mysterious. Was the source of this wealth and it has People have become more widely aware. Recently that That the bulk of this wealth comes from a company purdue pharma which produces the powerful painkiller oxycontin in this era in which the naming of things and the un naming of things mounting and the on mounting has become very active. Is it still the circle ring. In the metropolitan museum is sackler still emblazoned on all of these buildings and donated wings. Well it's very much in flux. So as i speak today it's still the sackler wing but the has actually announced today initially. They said they weren't taking any future. Donations from the soccer is because of the connection between the family and the crisis and then more recently. They've said that they are You know i think assessing is is the word whether or not the sackler wing will remain the sackler wing. Some institutions have started to take the name down so tufts university took down the sackler name from a series of buildings Because the students there this is at the medical school had said. I don't wanna go to class in a building named after this family and and get my medical education. They're more recently. New york university has done the same. The louvre in paris is taken down the sackler name. So there's a real question for many of these other institutions and there's dozens and dozens of them were the name still stands whether or not they'll keep it

The Book Review
Kerri Greenidge discusses two books about African-Americans in the years before the Civil War
"Carey. Greenwich joins us now from outside boston. She is the melon assistant professor in the department of studies in race colonialism and diaspora at tufts university. She's also the author of black radical. The life and times. Of william monroe. Trotter and this week she reviews two bucks on the cover of the book review. They are south to freedom runaway slaves to mexico and the road to the civil war by alice l. Baumgartner and the kidnapping club wall street slavery and resistance on the eve of the civil war by jonathan. Daniel wells all right. That's a lot. Carrie thank you so much for being here vegas much for having me. So it's interesting looking at these two books together. They're sort of an error but they told two different sides of the same story. Just if you could tell us broadly. What are the two books about. Certainly the book by jonathan. Daniel wells the kidnapping club. It talks about the organiz. Terror inflicted on black new yorkers by kidnapping club which was a group of investors business owners and police officers in new york city in the years before the civil war and they use the fugitive slave law to be enslaved to kidnap african americans. Who were living nominally free in new york and transporting them back into the south and then we have our gardeners beautiful south to freedom runaway slaves to mexico which traces the journey of escaped slaves to mexico again in the decades before the civil war and the relationship between mexico freedom and concepts of recent citizenship. So the story of the kidnapping club if it is at all familiar to listeners. It's probably most familiar as the story that was told. In the recent film. Twelve years a slave it was sort of lightly fictionalized version the memoirs of solomon northrop but. What's the larger story here. The larger store which i think john wells does extremely well is a story of the complicity of the north in enslavement and enslave rate and the fact that american slavery was a national and a transnational institution and that to argue that somehow new york city was acknowledged as a free state although that was true because slavery was a national international institution. The powers that be in new york in the years before the civil war were dedicated to upholding that system. And so it really goes into the heart of this notion. What does it mean to be a free person. A free african american in a country and in a global system that endorsed racial slavery. The other thing that. I think jonathan daniel wells book does very well is connect the distrust the relationship between the police and law enforcement particularly in new york city. But we can use that. As a microcosm of parts of the country between new york city's police department and authorities and the black community and this video the trail that the black community felt justifiably so and experience at the hands of the police being an organized club to kidnap particularly black children and send them back into the south heart so obviously there are some contemporary parallels but one thing i thought was so interesting. That you point out in your review is the extent to which the various powers from the insurance business to the finance community to the law community was entrenched in maintaining the slave trade. Can you talk about the extent to which the early capitalist economy of new york city sort of thrived and depended on slavery so in wells book. He shows that the number one there was a cultural connection between the financier is in wall street in new york city and slavery in the south and so all of the banks all of the investment firms all of the capital that was funding the system that it took to maintain enslavement for instance investing in the distribution of food distribution of goods that were sent into the south to maintain slavery. That was a business and that was run through wall street's financial system and so it wells argues shows is that that system was dependent upon southern slavery. Southern slavery was dependent behind that system and so there was a vested interest by very very powerful people organizations in new york city to maintain and to ensure that slavery existed there is also a very vested interest in ensuring that fugitive slaves who escaped would be returned to the south given the fact that we're talking about black bodies commodities and the fact that if a black person escaped that was in the crude terms of the time somebody losing money and investment and so this whole machinery of kidnapping african americans and sending them back in the south. It was a business and it was making a lot of money for a lot of people.

Trump and Biden debate their climate and environmental policies
"A lot at Thursday's debate. There was this telling exchange about climate change. Would you close the have a transition from their own industry? Yes. It is a big statement, President Trump again boosted the fossil fuel industries contributing to global warming. Joe Biden is campaigning on a plan for Net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. NPR's Jeff Brady has more on his $2 trillion proposal. Joe Biden's climate plan is ambitious for an economy is big and complex as the United States, but even those connected to fossil fuel industry say it may be doable. Scott Siegal with the energy focused law firm. Bracewell says the plan is pragmatic and includes both regulations and incentives for the growing list of companies focused on using cleaner energy in the future. One thing that makes Biden's approach somewhat comfortable is that you can sketch out that linear commitment to additional resource is to achieve these objectives, which I think most people in business, believe me. Are going to be the future anyway. The country has one example of meeting an ambitious climate goal. The Obama administration's clean power plan aimed to cut emissions from power plants, about a third by 2030. Even though court challenges stopped the plan from going into effect, the country is ahead of schedule. David Doniger is with NRDC Action Fund, The political arm of the natural resource is defense counsel. The power sector is already undergoing changes that have reduced their emissions by more than 30% 10 years ahead of the target that the Obama administration thought was aggressive. In 2015, a big part of that was the collapse of the coal industry. Coal fired power plants continue to go out of business, replaced with cheaper natural gas and renewable energy. Still, the bite and climate plan faces significant hurdles. It relies on technologies that haven't been developed or may not be commercially viable. That's why the plan includes $400 billion over a decade for research. With the economic hit from the Corona virus pandemic. Biden's campaign updated the plan this summer. It includes billions of dollars to hire people for things like plugging abandoned mines and building electric vehicle charging stations. Steph Feldman, with the bite and campaign says the plan also focuses on environmental justice. 40% of the benefit of those investments go to community, the color and low income communities that have been disproportionately harmed by pollution and the effects of climate change. This is especially important to the most vocal climate change activists. While Biden has distanced himself from the green new deal, it is popular, especially with the left wing of his party. Jenny Marino, Zimmer with 3 50 actions as this's thie strongest plan yet from a Democratic presidential nominee, the Biden campaign has committed to doing some really great things like ending leasing of fossil fuels on public lands. We'd like to see them go further and create a true phase out for the entire fossil fuel mystery over Of course of the next decade. Biden's plan has a longer timeline for a transition and includes a role for fossil fuels with offsets and carbon capture. Amy Myers Jaffe manages the climate policy Labatt Tufts University and says overall, this is a credible plan for addressing climate change. The Biden campaign has listed the right things. But the difference between listing things and implementing those things is a big difference. If Biden is elected, he'll likely need a Democratic Congress willing to pass laws and allocate money

Funky Cheese Rinds Release an Influential Stench
"Aged cheeses like Camembert taleggio produce a powerful stench, the funk of cabbage mushrooms, sulphur, even smelly feet and those aromas are chemicals that are being kicked off by the cheese or being emitted by the cheese, and that's through the microbes that are living in the Ryan's as they slowly decompose the cheese Benjamin. Wolf is a microbiologist at Tufts University. He says in addition to alerting our noses to the cheese the AROMAS produced by certain microbes living in on the cheese can feed in sculpt other members of. The microbial garden living there wolf and his colleagues identified some of those microbial interactions by growing various cheese dwelling fungi and bacteria in separate. But adjacent dishes in the lab, the microbes couldn't touch. They can only interact via the volatile compounds they released and when we did this screen, this volatile screen, we quickly notice that there was this one bacterium vibrio species that really loved living in the aromas produced by the various fungi that you find in a typical wheel of campaign bear Wolf says the Vibrio. Bacteria. be able to eat the AROMAS which after all consist of chemical compounds and the odor of the cheese may also switch on certain genetic pathways in bacteria pathways that regulate the bacteria's ability to thrive in harsh conditions like a backup plan when things aren't going well and you're starving, you can try on this other pathway and still make a living. But unless ideal substrates at around the end result is that the stench we perceive may also shape the microbiome of the cheese. The results appear in the Journal Environmental Microbiology has for the practical. This research. Well, it's a little early for that. We don't necessarily do our science to make cheese better. It's honestly a lot of assistance to figure out how cheese works. In other words. He says, the tools of modern micro biology allow scientists to finally listening to the conversations happening in these tiny cheese Ryan communities.

Some Young Republican Activists Worry About The Future Of Their Party
"Week's Republican National Convention offered direct appeals to a new generation of voters. It showcased figures like Madison Cawthorne, a congressional candidate in North Carolina. I just turned 25. When I'm elected this November, I'll be the youngest member of Congress in over 200 years. And if you don't think young people can change the world. Then you just don't know American history. But President Trump's appeal with young voters is very limited. And some young Republican activists are concerned about the future of the party now totally defined by Trump. NPR's wanna Summers reports. Lizzie Bond is worried about the future of the Republican Party. The 21 year old Duke University students said the party today is failing to speak to people like her. She describes herself as conservative, reasonable and a person of faith. In 2016. She could not support Donald Trump and instead volunteered in support of Hillary Clinton's campaign. I think specifically within my age cohort, there's a lot of enthusiasm for President Trump. But then there are also a lot of people who are inclined to be conservative who are so disillusioned by everything that they see on the right. That it's hard not to think that the future of the Republican Party is doomed. Research from Circle, a research center at Tufts University found that nearly one in five young voters who backed Republicans in 2018 plan to support Joe Biden this year. Mike brought. Oh, said one reason why young people maybe turning away is because the Republican Party is not talking about the right issues. One of our main themes is that There are issues that Gen Z voters care about, including on the center, right? At the party has failed to address time and time again. Climate change racial injustice Algebra two plus issues. Broda was 20 and goes to Georgetown University. He's the executive director of Gen Z GOP. A group that's looking to reach young Republicans. He's planning to vote for Joe Biden, but hopes that there will be a better Republican option than Trump in 2024. Now I think with the ultimate determining factor is that Draws me away from him completely is his poor approach to governance. And that's evident in his handling the code 19 pandemic, and it's no longer just about his policies were inconsistent with my views for what's best for the country. It's how he approaches those policies. Many young Republicans said that coming of age as a conservative today has been a bit of a surreal experience. I still remember sitting in this restaurant with some friends and be like, Oh, wouldn't it be like the weirdest thing if the race ended up being Trump versus Hillary, and we're like, Oh, my goodness that would never happen like that Be so awful and Lo and behold, it's what happened. That's Grace Klein. She's 18 and just started her first year at Arizona State University. She described herself as very against Trump during the 2016 Republican primary. Four years later, things have changed. I'm going to be voting for the first time in November, and I am an adamant supporter. I will 100% vote for him now client said Trump has exceeded her expectations. But there are some things she does not agree with. She specifically mentioned some of the president's tweets. But she said that his record and his values help her look past what she described as personality flaws. And there's one issue that Klein said, is central to her political identity. I believe That the rightto life starts at conception. And if a candidate doesn't support that I will not support them. Curl in Monastir is a 19 year old student at Coker College in South Carolina. He said the most important issue for him as a conservative is standing up for the Constitution. He was initially open to supporting President Trump in November. But right now that seems unlikely. Everyday on TV, the land between Vice President Biden and the libertarian candidate, Jo George. And Back in North Carolina. Lizzie Bond isn't sure either. So in November, I'm facing that really Really difficult decision. I likely won't be supporting either presidential candidate.

University and holds a PhD in social organizational psychology from Columbia. Please welcome Dr Jennifer Goldman wetzlar. These are trying times that we're in. We are in the midst right now. Two months into the global pandemic. Of Corona virus and we're facing a big tough global problem. The likes of which most of us have never seen in our lifetimes. I've spent my career studying and working with incredibly tough problems, none on this scale, but tough problems nonetheless. Typically the tougher the problem, the more likely it is to capture my interest, and the more likely I am to be helpful. This has been true for me since I was A. So I didn't want to solve just one or two sides of the Rubik's Cube I wanted to solve all six sides while Hula hooping. and. That's why today we're going to be talking about a tough problem of type of problem conflict. That comes back. No matter how many times you people have tried to resolve it. Will be talking about recurring conflicts. And what to do when your efforts to resolve those conflicts fail. So in a minute I'm going to be asking you to think of a conflict situation. You know about that. You can apply your situation well, so you can apply these practices to that situation. But I. WanNa give you an introduction to this work. In Nineteen, seventy, three one of my mentors, Dr Morton Deutsch widely considered father of conflict resolution, wrote a book called the resolution of conflict and in it he detailed research that he and his colleagues had done, which basically showed that conflict lead to more conflict and cooperation leads to more cooperation. When I learned that all I can think was well if that's true, how do we get out of this conflict loop? And how do we get on to the cooperation loop? Well I've now spent the last thirteen years trying to answer those questions and the answers are in the book that I've written optimal outcomes that we're talking about today. My research began with a fellowship from the US Department of Homeland Security in two thousand and two, and since then in my role as CEO and founder of Alignment Strategies Group I've worked with. Leaders. All kinds of different organizations from innovative fast-growing startups to Fortune five hundred companies to academic institutions to global nonprofits. And what I've done is helped them by using the optimal outcomes method to address the most challenging situations that they have faced. And I'd like to bring some of that work here for you today, so I'll be talking about a specific clans situation throughout today's Webinar. But I also want this presentation to be highly relevant to you so I'd like to take a moment now to ask you to think of a situation that you know about. It could be one from your own life, or it could be one that you're helping other people with, or it could be one that you know about simply from watching the news. And I'd like to ask you to answer two questions. What who first of all you're thinking about a conflict situation, but it may be one that you don't even necessarily think about as quote unquote conflict. It may be something that simply recurs over and over again. No matter how many times you or other people have tried to resolve, it could be the daily fight with your spouse about the dishes in the sink, or it could be how to track down that colleague. That's always been hard to reach a now that you're working remotely is even more difficult to find. Get the answers that you meet, or it could be about politics and elections in presidential elections, and how to have conversations about those without getting caught in a cycle of frustration with friends and colleagues and family.

Study: More Berries, Apples, Tea May Have Protective Benefits Against Alzheimer's
"By the way another study just came out drinking great actually point according to more berries apples and he may have protective benefits against Alzheimer's really interesting study this from a Jean Mayer human nutrition research center on aging that's up at Tufts University it's a great place to read research for they looked at almost thirty thousand action they looked at almost three thousand people age fifty or older on the phone for twenty years and if they had a lot of apples each month a lot of berries like blueberries and blackberries strawberries and if they had a lot of T. I cut their risk strongly about charmers disease and other related dimensions like late dementia and Lewy body dementia now here's the thing they said she specifically green tea in the study this is according to Dr as raw she store shoe store Dr as rishi star read the study he's up at tufts in open borders he said T. specifically green tea and berries are good sources of the slab in which so there really is brain protection here if you drink green tea what she you cut your risk of Alzheimer's let me see if I could find if you drank tea you cut way back on your risk of Alzheimer's people who didn't drink green tea or eat berries have twice the risk or eat apples had twice the risk of Alzheimer's disease so when you do not agree to you're also

Gastropod
Are Insect Guts the Secret to the Most Delicious Kimchi?
"So Kimchi is a lot of different things to a lot of different people. This is Kevin Kin. He's the food ethnographer. PhD candidate at the University of Maryland and gastropod listener. Calvin Ho recommended that we give Kevin Call to talk talk about yes Kimchi. Basically it is a traditional Korean dishes for mental vegetables. The formula of witches normally fermented seasonal vegetables with some form for meant seafood sometimes in the form of anchovies brine shrimp but it runs the gamut in the US. The kind of Kimchi. We nearly early always eat is made of cabbage but Lawrenson tunes it. Kimchi company called mother-in-law's and she wrote the Kimchi Cookbook. She says it doesn't have to be. It can be made with any vegetables. Roy So it's not necessarily NAPA cabbage that makes it Kimchi. It's the process of Fermenting pickling that Bro says the fermentation it produces a shall we say distinctive smell. It's hard to describe having grown up with it my whole life but I would say to me it smells. It's not like home but I think it's a vegetable funk that you might get from something like Sauerkraut interspersed with the sharp aromas this of onion and garlic and scallions and actually sauerkraut and Kimchi. Our booth made through the same fermentation process. There are two main differences. One is the type of cabbage. Sauerkraut is usually made with that hard greenish round cabbage and not frilly NAPA cabbage. The other one is the differences in the seasonings but the fermentation method. That's the same and for the most part. Kimchi is played with red pepper. So sometimes it's quite spicy but it doesn't necessarily have to be there varieties. That are not spiced but that fermentation lactic acid. Bacteria's what gives it. Its ZIP zing. That's what gives it what Koreans call life. There's an old saying in Korea that Kimchi is half of all the the food provision Koreans traditionally have Kimchi at all three meals breakfast. Lunch and dinner it served as a side. It's omnipresent on on on the side you know. A lot of people will say without Kim cheaters. No there is. No meal was born in South Korea but I immigrated to the United States when I was two but even when I was in La we first moved to La up. Kimchi was always on the table. We always had jars of it. So if you're Korean you're likely never far from Kimche when you're at home but sometimes Koreans need to travel to places where Kim t might not be on every table because they want to have Kimchi with almost every meal. They'll pat Kimchi and sometimes jars. Because of the pressurization and the fact that Kim. She's alive with lactic. Acid bacteria will sometimes explode midflight the chefs deficit one of. La's trendiest restaurants animal. Actually had this happen to them. They'd cry of Axum Kimchi to bring it along with them. And when they got to the baggage carousel it was complete carnage. Everyone was gagging and holding their shirts over their noses. Kevin says there are entire Korean blog posts devoted to making sure. Your Kimchi won't explode it on the plane and overwhelmed your fellow passengers for the next however many hours when Lauren and Kevin were growing up in the US they ate tons of Kimchi. Of course but that pungent vegetal funk it was a problem at least around non Korean Americans the one thing that admonition that my mom always told me was to never eat. Kim She with with anyone. who wasn't Korean early on? I remember having it in my lunches and of course being made fun of for it because of that vegetal funk and having that some semblance of perhaps embarrassment or shame you know I would ask my mom. Why can't you just pack me? Peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches. Of course that's all changed now Kevin and is proud of Kimchi but my question is how does cabbage which you know. I like cabbage. Okay but it's just cabbage. How does that become this essential sources zip and basically there's one bacteria called lactobacillus? You listeners might remember it from our Cerrado episode because along with yeast. It's a key part of sourdot starters Aziz lactobacillus they're also called lactic acid bacteria and they live to eat the sugars in the cabbage leaves. And then they excrete they excrete acid which sewer and they fought out carbon dioxide. That's the bubbles and more of the sourness. Oh the lactic. Acid bacteria are the key to Kimchi. And whenever we at GASTROPOD WANNA get up close and personal with the microbes in our food. We know who to call. I'm Ben Wolf and I am an assistant professor at Tufts University and Gastropods in-house microbiologist adjusts. Not only is he our very own in-house microbiologists now. Every podcast has that but we need a special who true but as it happens. Ben Is also in the middle of a huge huge Kimchi research. Project perfect there was a sort of baseline understanding of the traditional types of lactic acid bacteria that you would find in your average Kimchi. I'm she and most of this. Work was in Korea and so most of it was looking at what are the types of bacteria and also looking at this very clear succession this temporal change of microbes from the beginning of when you first put that Gina Jar and close it up to the whole fermentation process all the way to the end though if green scientists have figured all that out already. What's it's left for Ben to study so one thing that I find really fascinating about Kimchi? Compared to other fermented foods is that unlike cheese or Yogurt were you. You Start Cultures these these microbes that you buy Kimchi and Sauerkraut and other fermented vegetables are not inoculated. When you make Sauerkraut or or pickles or Kimchi you don't ever use a starter? Culture the microbes. Just kind of get in there. So unsurprisingly people like Ben Curious about where these microbes come from and they've tested various possible sources. Like maybe it's US we're the source says an interesting idea this Kimchi Hans or the idea that humans can be an innocuous oculus source for fermented foods in fact there was a really cool city recently here in Massachusetts looking at Sauerkraut production facility similar to Kimchi and a simple lots of different things in the environment that workers the walls and then they also sampled the raw materials the cabbage and they found the cabbage is really the primary source for these bacteria's Ben thanks. This is actually pretty surprising. Amazing that we can just go out pick or by all sorts of vegetables grown nearly anywhere in the world and we can basically always find these is beneficial lactic acid bacteria and so I started to think. Where are they coming from? What's the origin story for these lactic? ACID bacteria how do they get to the plant. Do Different and farms have different types or different abundances of lactic acid bacteria so ben and his graduate student. Esther Miller set out to answer these questions. She and others in the law we. We all went out and surveyed farms throughout New England so we went to Hampshire throughout Massachusetts Connecticut. A little bit into the Hudson Valley as well and said where are these lactic acid bacteria and what are they in terms of the species and abundant are they in the environment. Ami went to these fifty one farm some of them are community gardens. Most listen we're really small farms and we sampled the soil and then we also sampled the lease of weeds and other plants in the environment. We didn't directly sample cabbage. We just wanted to say what is the potential potential source of these bacteria because they have to hide out somewhere when they're not growing on the cabbage leaf and they did find lactobacillus but not as much as they expected. They're incredibly rare in the environment. Virement so it's it's actually really hard to find them so if you look in soil or if you look on leave us. They're usually less than one percent of all the types of bacteria that are in the Environment Mint and to us that was kind of surprising because it really does suggest that we're relying on these rare and somewhat variable groups of microbes do this important fermentation process versus one of the reasons. Bannon esther that these lactic acid bacteria or so rare on farms is because they aren't particularly comfortable. They're just not they're happy place. They're really good at fermenting sugars in a low oxygen somewhat salty and cold environment. So you think of your average cabbage leaf hanging out in a farm field in August. I it's one of those things I wanted to make sure that these lactic acid bacteria truly didn't love farm. Fresh cabbage leaves said they grew tiny sterile cabbages in the lab cabbages with literally. No microbial life so what you do. is you take cabbage seeds. And you sterilize. The surface of the cab seeds with ethanol and a little bit of bleach. And then you put them in a sterile klay medium that we have inside of a test tube and you grow them. They happily grow in the assessing the NAPA cabbages love. This environment went and then what we can do is spray those plants with different combinations of microbes and basically the lactic acid bacteria all die. It's not even that they're bad getting to the plant but once they do do they slowly just decrease in abundance so they're not even really good at fighting in that leaf environment where there's lots of other bacteria that will happily grow so again. It's sort of a magical thing that Kimchi Sauerkraut even works. Because we're relying on this really rare group of microbes. They're rare but like we said earlier. There are a whole bunch of different kinds of lactic acid bacteria that you can find in a Kimchi fermentation. So do those different varieties. Make a difference to your final kitschy. One of the questions that were interested in is what species you start off with in terms of the cabbage. Bring in from the farm. How does that control or contribute to the fermentation process and ultimately the flavor and quality of the product because because you would get different microbes going on different plants and so we're trying to tease that apart you? What is the role of geography? Is there a microbial terroirs to cabbage. And at this point we don't don't know yet we're just starting to do some of those experiments Bend told us all these questions and then he had an idea after all he knows where all about microbes era gastropod. Why not get us to do some of this research for him? You wanted to test her idea. You could buy different cabbages from different sources from anthem in the same way and see what happens I different.
