"While anyone can use it, meta tells ABC News, they'll be prompting teams to turn it on when they spend a specific amount of time on Instagram at night. Many social media platforms are designed in a way that deliver adolescence with a constant stream of social feedback. And in a way, this kind of sucks them into these social media accounts and they end up spending a lot more time than they had planned to. And so one way that we can start to help teens is to send notifications a reminder. Last summer, TikTok rolled out new tools to limit screen time and schedule breaks while Apple lets iPhone users put limits on specific apps and Android offers a digital well-being setting, and while data is mixed on the effects of social media use on teenagers. In 2021, The Wall Street Journal published internal Facebook research that concluded Instagram harmed the well-being of some teenage girls, and a recent study by UNC Chapel Hill reports that habitual checking of social media is linked to changes in how adolescent brains respond to the world around them. Meantime, a recent Pew Research study found that 8 in ten teens say social media makes them feel more connected to their friends. ABC News correspondent Rebecca Jarvis. We'll move over Gen Z, there is apparently a new generation that's pulling the focus of some luxury brand. Spending by Gen Z and even younger generation alpha, those under age 13 is expected to make up a third of the luxury market through 2030, according to Bain and co. By 2030, millennials Gen Z and alpha will become the biggest buyer of luxury by far representing 80% of global purchases. Last year they spent roughly $381 billion seen the luxury sector surged 22% in 2022, analysts and luxury executives say the appeal of luxury brands is tied to a surge in wealth creation over the past few years, alongside social media

"What we've been keeping our eye on North Carolina. And with us from Raleigh, North Carolina, is Bloomberg's Amelia Pollard. Joining us from democratic Senate nominee sherry Beasley's election party. So thank you for being with us Amelia. Tell us what's going on in North Carolina. Well, it is a neck and neck race. But Ted bud, the senator, I mean, the Republican nominee for senator is currently a congressman serving for North Carolina. He has been polling a few points ahead of sherry Beasley, the democratic nominee in recent days, but the first results coming in tonight are indicating that sherry Beasley has a slight advantage. And that's largely because there's something called the blue mirage. And that is taking place because North Carolina, unlike other states like Pennsylvania, has a chance to count early votes earlier today. So those are the first results coming in this evening. Do we have any sense of how much of a delay there is in North Carolina and getting the votes in? We know, for example, in Pennsylvania it's going to take a while. Yeah, it's going to take a while here. Definitely not as long as Pennsylvania, you know, a professor spoke to tonight from UNC Chapel Hill told me that North Carolina does count its ballots pretty fast. The last time I checked about 15 minutes ago, I think 53% of precincts were reporting and Ted bud is leading right now by a few points, but that's largely because awake county, the largest county in North Carolina, and the most democratic or one of the most democratic has not yet reported. So it's likely that there will be a big wave coming in for sherry Beasley in the coming hours as white county and other big democratic strongholds like Durham, start coming in. So it'll really be a touch and go race for the next few hours. And it's really hard to tell who has the advantage right now. Okay, Mia, thank you so very much. As Bloomberg's Amelia Pollard reporting from Raleigh, North Carolina. And now we get a rare opportunity to talk to Larry summers. He's a former US Treasury secretary currently with Harvard University, of course, and I'm delighted to say a very special contributor on Wall Street week. Larry, thank you so much for taking time with us this evening. We don't know how this is going to come out. I certainly know it's going to come out. But give us a sense of what's at stake in terms of the economy, in terms of managing the economy, whether Republicans or Democrats control the Congress. Look, what's important, however, exactly this comes out, is that there be a measure of responsibility in the carrying out of policy. Of course, we'd all prefer bipartisan compromise in legislation on a whole range of issues. I have a feeling that's not going to happen. However, this comes out. But what I'm pretty sure we need is to simply move the country forward and what's been disturbing to me is the number of people, particularly frankly, on the side of the House Republicans who have said that if they don't get their way on a whole set of issues, they're going to send the country into default by not being willing to raise the debt limit. And that's something that I think is really threatening both to the economy to financial markets at a moment when we already have fragility in the treasury market. And to the nature of our democratic system, which should involve tough negotiation and hard fought contests and elections, but should not involve taking the country's credit as hostage. So that's something I'm going to be really hoping to avoid. I'm going to be hoping that the center holds. This is not the time for extreme proposals from the left or the right. And the other thing I'm going to be hoping is that Congress is going to watch carefully, but it's going to let the Biden administration get on with executing the work of government. We are as a country, 92% dependent for the most sophisticated kinds of semiconductors that drive everything from our supercomputers to the guidance systems in our airplanes to the automatic door locks in our cars. We are 92% dependent for that on Taiwan. That can't be sensible security policy. That's why we had bipartisan legislation. The chips act. And we've got to execute that legislation effectively. We've got to execute in an effective way moving to much more electric economy with much more electric transportation. Obviously, electric cars are at the center of that. And what we need is the government to execute crisply efficiently and effectively on that and at the same time for Congress to provide oversight. We can have that. We can really move the country forward and that's the right thing, not a lot of witch hunts in any direction. Larry, you have had positions at the uppermost levels of economic policy in Washington. The Treasury Department in The White House. And of course, you've been a macroeconomist for your entire career. We've heard both Republicans and Democrats raise the debt ceiling issue before for their own purposes. Why is this time different? Or is this just a boy crying wolf one more time? Well, look, we've come to the brink a number of times. The last major time in 2011, the country actually had its credit rating. Downgraded. But we haven't had it happen to my knowledge after a period of major interest rate hikes from the fed. We haven't had it happen at a time when there was substantial illiquidity in the treasury market and people were worried that there'd be big spikes in treasury yields. We haven't had it happen when we were as precariously precariously dependent on foreign governments holdings of our debt. So I think this is a moment especially not to play games. This is a moment to let the country move forward and have our heart fights, but not have them in a way that's threatening the idea that the United States of America pays its bills. Laura, let me ask you about fiscal policy, something you and I have talked about a fair amount at this point. The Republicans to a person as far as I can tell say, the one thing they're going to make sure if they do get control of one or both houses is to make sure no more fiscal spending of any substantial size. Are you pre sanguine with that given where we are with inflation, we don't need a lot of fiscal stimulus, do we? We don't need fiscal stimulus God knows. We need the opposite. But you know, fiscal stimulus is measured by the change in the deficit. And if we need more spending and we finance that spending with taxes, that's the right thing to do. And gosh, I look at what's happening in Ukraine. I look at what in some ways is an increasingly threatening China. I look at the uncertainties in the Middle East and frankly, my suspicion is we're going to need to increase our national security. Spending in the time ahead. I think we need to pay for those increases by cutting other programs or by increasing taxes, but I wouldn't want to say absolutely categorically no new spending given that often spending more money can enhance our national security or spending more money can pay for itself down the road as is the case for many programs. You know, something I work very hard on David that I think is very important is the strengthening of the IRS capacity, not to launch some kind of attack on American taxpayers. That's ridiculous propaganda. But only to get back to the same kind of capacity

"The justices of the Supreme Court have just heard a dispute in a very important set of cases, two cases involving affirmative action, affirmative action in American universities, one involves Harvard University, a private university, but one that does have relations with the government, government contracts, and so on. The other a state university university of North Carolina. And these universities are being sued by a group called students for fair admissions. And they're being sued for engaging in widespread and systematic racial preferences. Now for many years, these universities tried to hide and disguise what they were doing. They would say things like, well, when two applicants apply and they have similar credentials, we kind of give a nod to the one that is coming from a minority or disadvantaged background. It's become very clear and these cases affirm this that we're now talking not about equally qualified applicants and giving somebody a nudge. We're talking about candidates who are completely different in their academic preparation, their grades, their test scores, their extracurriculars, their recommendations, and by and large academically inferior candidates are chosen and given admissions and superior candidates to turn away. This is done on the basis of race. By and large, what universities do is they identify candidates, applicants, as members of either underrepresented or over represented groups. And they use kind of broad categories. So the broad category is like white. Hispanic. Asian and Native American, and you fall into one of these camps. Now, right away, you can see that these camps are a little problematic.

"And health outcomes for patients who are on Medicaid. He says, when he started out as a doctor, one of the ways he failed his patients was by not thinking of food. I remember seeing a patient in residency who was always labeled the problem patient and would have many visits to the emergency room for preventable complications of their diabetes and he would swear up and down that he's taking his insulin. He's taking as a medications and he was right. But this patient was on food stamps. What's now called snap benefits and those are given out at the start of the month. By the end of the month, he would run out of food, but still be taking his insulin so the sugars would dip too low. And it's not something that in medical school were trained to think about this connection between social and economic factors and what we're doing in terms of medications and focusing on prescriptions and labs and so forth. And so that was an important learning period for me to understand what was really going on for him and kind of how my opic I was being and focusing on the drugs. That story is really a food insecurity story, and that's one of the ways that food and health overlap. But what it shows is that doctors are typically not trained to think about food as part of medical care, and Sanjay thinks that's a big mistake. After that experience, Sanjay became interested in all the ways food can help his patients get better and stay healthy. Today he's also one of the researchers studying MTM's to see if they actually work because, while visiting with Victor was enough to convince us, it's just one person's experience, and that's what scientists call anec data, stories, not actual data from rigorous scientific studies. That's what was missing. And so it was something that seemed very plausible. I mean, you hear about it and immediately think, yes, this is likely to improve people's health. But there wasn't a lot of that quantification of, well, how much does it improve health and what situations, how long do you need to receive it for that kind of thing? Seth berkowitz is trained as a doctor and he's a Professor of medicine at UNC Chapel Hill, like Sanjay, these days, he's deeply involved in getting that evidence base for medically tailored meals as an effective medical treatment. You might think, why do you need to do a big scientific study? Isn't it obvious that these meals should be helpful, and they certainly couldn't hurt, but the problem is budgets are limited. This is a very intensive program, and the money that gets spent on MTM's is money that isn't being spent on a different healthcare program. So you really need to know that it works before you spend money on it. For MTM's, what working means is yes, improving health outcomes, but also saving money, which is actually a little unfair because saving money is not the standard that other more traditional medical treatments are held to. So, you know, for pharmaceutical interventions, if cost effectiveness is evaluated at all, it's generally way down the line. By law, not part of coverage decisions in Medicare, for example, and things like that.

Drugs like magic mushrooms and LSD can act as powerful antidepressants, but they also produce mind bending side effects. Well, and pierce John Hamilton reports on a drug based on LSD that appears to treat depression in mice without taking the animals on a trip. Antidepressants like prozac act on the brain serotonin system. So do psychedelic drugs. But with psychedelics, the effect can occur in hours instead of weeks, and last for months. Brian schuchat from the University of California San Francisco says the best evidence so far involves people with depression who take psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms. There's really interesting reports about people getting great results out of this after just a few doses. One study found the results can last a year or more, perhaps because the drug causes the brain to rewire. Psychedelic drugs, though, require medical supervision and a therapist to guide a patient through their hallucinatory experience. So it says that's an impractical way to treat millions of people with depression. The society would like a molecule that you can get prescribed and just take in a go home and take and you don't need a guided tour for your trip. So shake it and a large team of researchers are looking for that molecule. They started with a virtual collection of about 75 million hypothetical drugs likely to act on the brain serotonin system. Shake it says ultimately the scientists focused on just two. They had the best properties. They were the most potent. And when you gave them to a mouse, they got into the brain at high concentrations. A test of one of these drugs found it did seem to relieve depression. In mice. A depressed mouse tends to give up quickly when placed in an uncomfortable situation, like being dangled from its tail. But the same mouse will keep struggling if it gets an antidepressant drug like prozac, ketamine, or psilocybin. Doctor Brian Roth, a psychiatrist at UNC Chapel Hill, and another member of the team says the molecule based on LSD had a similar effect. We found our compound had essentially the same antidepressant activity, at least acutely. So one day later, were those mice tripping? Apparently not. Psychedelic drugs caused mice to twitch frequently in a distinctive way, and Roth says that wasn't the case with mice that got the team's LSD based compound. We were, I would say, surprised to see that they had no psychedelic drug like actions at all. Studies in people are still a ways off. Even so ruff says the approach points to a class of depression drugs that would have a huge advantage over products like prozac and zoloft, which are taken every day. The difference with psychedelics and the compounds that we're excited about is that it's basically one and done. Patients basically take one dose, and then they're fine. That's an optimistic view, says David Olson of the University of California Davis. Olsen, who helped create a non psychedelic version of the drug ibogaine, says he's skeptical that a single dose of these new compounds can eliminate depression. But I do think they take us a step closer to a cure rather than simply treating disease symptoms. Olson says drugs based on psychedelics have the potential to help people who haven't responded to existing antidepressants. And because they work immediately, he says they could be integrated into a psychotherapy session. You might imagine a day where a patient could take one of these drugs at home and then interact with their therapist via virtual platform like Zoom, the new research appears in the journal nature.

Google, IBM Backtrack on Race-Conscious Fellowships
"I'm continuing my discussion of the misdoings and malfeasance of various social media platforms. And now I want to talk about Google. Now what I'm saying about Google to some degree also applies to IBM. Apparently, Google and IBM and I talked about this on the podcast, think about a week or so week or two ago. Established race based scholarship programs. And established them in coordination with many elite universities. The Google program alone was called the Google fellowship. And Google was carrying out this program with Harvard, Princeton, MIT, University of Pennsylvania, duke, NYU, UNC Chapel Hill, Johns Hopkins, I'm Carnegie Mellon. So this is a Google fellowship, and basically under the Google fellowship, if the selection process produced more than two nominees for this for this fellowship, Google required that the next two nominees quote self identify as a woman black African descent, you know, the whole, the whole gamut, trans, LatinX, or person with a disability. But it was essentially a kind of mandatory quota. You have to do this. So these colleges entered into contracts with Google as a requirement. Now, this as it turns out, flatly violates not only the well, gladly vibrate violates a civil rights law that goes all the way back to 1866, which completely bans racial discrimination and contracting. And let's notice that these are contracts between Google and these universities. And then there's also title 6 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bans racial discrimination at federally funded schools, and all these schools, some of them, of course, private, some of them, public, but nevertheless, they all have massive contracts with the federal government and so they fall under the federally funded clause. Now, the free Beacon, the Washington free Beacon, publicized, did an article, which I talked about here on the podcast about this policy on the part of Google. And they also mentioned that IBM has a similar policy IBM had a fellowship program, and it required a mandated that half the nominees of this PhD fellowship program B quote diversity candidates. Now, Google talked, I'm sorry, the Washington free Beacon talked to a bunch of civil rights lawyers when they go, well, these programs are illegal.

"Racial preferences have become a depressing feature of our society. And by the way, racial and gender preferences. We see them in college admissions. We see them in job hiring. We see them in federal contracting and most of this is done in the name of diversity. We need a diverse student body. We need a diverse workforce. We need to have federal contracts that contractors who look like America. So under the pretext of creating diversity, what you have is more eligible people are turned away and less eligible people get the position. They get the they're admitted to a school, I've selective school, or they hired. And all of this runs afoul of our civil rights laws. It runs afoul of the clear language, not just of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which is, of course, the kind of the landmark document here. Not just of the clear language, the equal protection language of the constitution. But a whole series of other civil rights laws, some of which, by the way, go back to the 19th century. Go back to laws that Republicans enacted in the aftermath of the Civil War. For example, something called the 18 86 Civil Rights Act. This is a law that bars or bands contracting on the basis of race. You can't make a contract and say this contract only applies to white people. Only applies to black people. That kind of discrimination is forbidden. And this goes all the way back to the 1880s. Now that law may have been flouted in practice. But with the, with the civil rights laws of the 1960s, well, 50s and 60s, starting with the Brown decision, Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, fair housing Bill, the idea here of non discrimination becomes embedded in our law.

As they do to ongoing challenges of the labor shortage, the popular food festival has been moved to the spring of 2023, it was supposed to happen September 10th. All I've got to say is thank goodness the crawfish festival in bro bridge took place on schedule back in May that was May 22nd. You like crawfish Paul? Sure. Absolutely. Who doesn't? I don't think I've ever had crawfish. No, it's like baby lobster. Yeah. Yeah, it's good stuff. Gotta try it. Greg Jarrett. Again, thank you for a fantastic Bloomberg business. My favorite festival is the corn festival. The Miller's port corn festival to be specific. In Ohio. In Miller's port, Ohio. Right on the book I like. Absolutely. She doesn't like that. All right, I got a big problem with our next guest. Yeah. He got his bachelor's in economics and political science from UNC Chapel Hill. How do we let these Chapel Hill people on? Our radiation. I just don't get it. I don't know. And we'll ask him when he comes on, but so Ken inslee is the CIO at tedam advisers. I don't know this, Kent, but I know that Carl teden founded the company, right? And he's a DLJ guy. And there's so many UMC dudes involved in that like DLJ mafia. Is that what happened? Good morning Matt good morning, Paul. Pleasure to be here. We do have a good representation of tar heels here. It's even and you are correct that Carl Carl was our founder just over 20 years ago now. All right. Well, rumor has it that UNC may be able to get together at basketball team to share. We'll have to see. Kent, are you buying this rally off the bottom here? We are of the opinion that one should still have a positive long-term outlook for U.S. equities. Yes, valuations have fallen to levels that are slightly below long-term averages. And investor sentiment shows that a significant amount of bad news is already reflected in the price. We're specifically recommending that our clients rebalance in the middle of this bear market to maintain their equity exposure. Typically rebalancing by selling and using proceeds from bond portfolios are some diversifying assets like hedge funds. So we've been hearing so much about tax loss harvesting. From the ETF people, are you taking advantage of that as well? Yes, absolutely. It's a very important strategy for a firm like ours when you have bouts of volatility like the markets are experiencing. It's one of the probably one of the most important services and planning techniques that we can help our clients with for the long term. And do you like ETFs as well for a lot of your clients? I mean, it just seems to be a product that's growing when nothing else is. Yes, we use them extensively across our firm and our client portfolios. They can be a great way of very tax efficient and low fee way for taxable investors like the high net worth client base that we represent to invest in the market. Can what is a medium bear market? Right. So we break bear market periods into three categories short, medium and long. And since 19 29, excuse me, there have been 14 bear markets. 70% of them have coincided with the recession. So that is notable. A medium bear market is typically defined by a decline between 25 and 30% and the S&P 500. And the duration that lasts about 16 months. Short bear markets only last four months. We're already almost 8 months into this bear market, which is why we think we're in a medium term bear market. Now, we don't think we're in a long-term bear market, which are typically represented by an average duration of 32 months in a decline of as much as 60%. And the reason we don't think we're in a long bear market is that those are typically characterized by a protracted economic recession combined with stress in the banking system and we don't believe those conditions exist today. So when you hear. Zoltan pozhar or Vince Reinhardt or other, they were outliers, I guess. I'm not sure if they still are saying that the fed is going to go way past for all the way to 5, maybe 6% in terms of terminal rate because fighting inflation for this fed is more important than worrying about a recession. You think that makes sense or are you in the camp that thinks we're gonna see them hike to three and a half, 4%, maybe four and a quarter, and then when they realize what's going on with the economy, turn around and come back down. Well, our base case is that the U.S. economy right now is experiencing either a mid cycle slowdown or even quite possibly as shallow recession, which is being driven by the Central Bank tightening that you reference and inflationary pressures. But it's also important to point out that the U.S. economy is entering the slowdown from a point of resilience. So we see data out of the manufacturing sector, the housing sector, which does suggest that growth is slowing considerably. On the other hand, you could look to the ISM services data, which surprised to the upside this morning to point to the fact that we are still in a very resilient economy. Our base case is that the fed will pause at some point in 2023. But that it is a long and difficult battle to bring down the type of inflation that we have here today. And so the likelihood that they reverse course in 23 is perhaps lower in our opinion than what markets are pricing in today. All right. Good stuff. Particularly for UNC Chapel Hill. It's hard heal credit. That was very good stuff. Ken knows what he's doing. Inslee CIO tedman advisers here giving his thoughts on these markets here, but you know, it's interesting. I mean, a lot of folks are just trying to get a handle on what this market balance really represents, you know, are we kind of just bouncing within a greater bear market or is there something else going on here? So again, I guess we'll read the tea leaves like the Federal Reserve is doing follow the data and that will guide our Federal Reserve as we wind our way through this earnings period. Right now, let's head down

"You asked them about this? I have contacted every college that we know of. That's used social sentinel. And asked about this question specifically. A lot of them don't want to talk about this. We haven't really heard sort of full throated defense of where monitoring this protest to keep students safe. A lot of them are very tight lipped. So we have to rely on documents and sort of whistleblowers inside of the company to give us information. And does the company say, yeah, we know we know our stuff is being used to monitor protesters? The company fervently denies any ability or use of the service to monitor protesters in any way. And they have since the beginning. But I think if you look at some of the reporting that's been done by myself and others, that claim is very dubious. It's worth remembering that most of these services are being paid for with public money. An investigation by BuzzFeed news examined contracts from 130 schools and found that they collectively spent two and a half $1 million on social media monitoring over 5 years. If you are listening to this and you're a parent or a teenager or a college student, what are the kinds of questions you think you should be asking your educators your administration about these services? Well, first of all, I think it's just important to know whether the services in place or not. There's not a lot of knowledge, as I said, that these services are being used. For example, when I was reporting on these four social media monitoring companies last year, I discovered that my high school had used gaggle. One of the monitoring services, I knew from previous reporting that my undergraduate institution, UNC Chapel Hill, used social sentinel. I think, first of all, we should just ask the campus police department, the school administrators. Okay, what service are you using? What does it monitor for and why you're using it? I think those are just the basic questions that we have to ask. And then the next questions are, is it effective? Is it doing what it's set out to do? What they claimed, it could do when they were marketing the service to you. And if it's not, then I think people really have to raise questions about why are we still using this thing if it doesn't work for the thing that they said it works for. Arisen, thank you so much for talking with me. Yeah, thanks so much for having me. Ari sen is a computational journalist for the Dallas morning news. And we reached out to social sentinel for comment on this story and did not hear back as a recording time. All right, that is it for the show today. TBD is produced by Evan Campbell.

"Else to empower someone else. Well, I love that little ending with a prayer that too. I don't know if I've ever heard of that. I've never heard of that or something. I have to. I have to, because once I give you that knowledge, it's for you to do the I pray that you do the good with it. You know, and that you also share it with someone else so that they can do more good because we're so awesome as women and I support each and every one of us through what I have to share and offer. You know, through every vertical in my profession. I mean, I'm so glad that you are doing that because there's a lot of statistics that we hear to me that make it sound like woman just aren't capable of learning firearms. You know, that whole old adage of don't carry a firearm because someone's gonna take it away from you and use it against you or women are more likely to die in a home where there's a firearm than not. And it's like, well, okay, I understand where they're coming from at the same time, you're not empowering women to then go and learn about the firearm that is in their home. Or learn about how to keep the firearm on their body. Keep it retained safely. Keep them out, teach them how to use it. And so it's those kind of things that I think get stuck in a lot of women's head that they don't actually understand. No, I do possess the power and the ability within myself to go and learn this. I am just as strong and capable as any man is to learn about firearms. And so we need more women like you, Shawnee. So thank you. Absolutely for what you're doing. I just love it. I mean, I love that I love the message behind it. I think more and more women. I could listen to you talk about that. And I would have loved, it would have been amazing to when I had started to have Matt instructor like Shawnee that approached it from that real focused empowerment driving confidence, you know, mentality because I think that it completely changes how you go into deciding to shoot or whatever you're going to do with. I mean, just not just in general, like shooting. Just in life, like having that extra confidence changes like everything about you, and I just love that. I'm curious, Shawnee, so you said that you were you had taken what 8 to ten years off from that first time that you had met with an instructor and then it was only a couple of years ago that you started to get back in. I think that is a story for a lot of women kind of either their husbands get a gun or they've maybe shot a gun and then they just kind of leave it alone for a while. What brought you back into wanting to dive back into firearms? I never stopped. I just didn't activate my certificate to train. But I would always go to the gun range and I was an advocate of, you know, going to gun shows and purchasing new firearms and such. But it really was, you know, getting into 2020, like it just became very heavy. Emotionally for me, my dad passed away. And I needed an outlet. That was one part of it. So the gun range served as almost like a grief counselor for me. I could put my earphone, my earphones on and just go out and just take off the frustration that I was having of the fact that I lost my dad. And then the other side of it was just seeing all these headlines coming, you know, on the news just about things that were going on and how people were fighting over toilet paper at the store. I mean, it really bothered me. And I said, you know, I need to make sure that I have more women around me who, especially my single moms, you know, who can protect themselves and protect their houses and protect their children. And I had a lot of friends who own firearms and literally had never even cut the tag off. Like they literally had never even taken it out of the box, cut the tag and shot it one time. So I was like, hey, get that gun. Let's go to the gun range, you know, let me teach you properly. And it just, like I said, it started off at 6 women ten women 15 and just it took off from there. So I was grateful for 2020 coming because it really did wake me up, but it also allowed me to ring a bell for a lot of other women to alert them to the fact that they needed to activate themselves as far as if they owned a firearm if they didn't own a firearm and get one. So what's next for the lady killer's gun club and where do you see this going? Oh man, I have so so many big tell us. No, you know what? Honestly, the next big thing is just to continue to do my gun instructions. As well as to build my team of women behind me. And beside me who can support the cause as well. But my next major thing is to open up a female gun range all female gun club as far as a range where women can go and it can have a facility for if they want to do shooting with their children. It'll have an area for counseling as far as, you know, if someone has had trauma with the fire R and being used in a negative way, it'll have support groups or women who want to come in and learn from the beginning all the way to advance. So that's my next big thing that I'm doing. I'm just looking for a facility now to be able to and so crazy that you just said that we just had a guest on our show a couple weeks ago or last week that she is a firearm instructor and she has a specific method that she trains women who have had traumatic experiences with firearms. So she actually is, I believe in the process of developing a curriculum specifically for that. So we have to connect you guys because we saw that there was such a need for that. So many women that is a big barrier of entry into getting into firearms is just having a negative traumatic experience with it. And so to know that you have an instructor that understands that and will, I guess, change their techniques accordingly, it could be huge. For this industry. So while it is huge, I actually just spoke last month at UNC Chapel Hill. North Carolina Chapel Hill and thank you to them for having me come several of several of the professors found out about me and he wanted me to come and speak about not just building a business but also building a business that was so impactful for women and for families as far as exercising Second Amendment rights..

Well, for me, this one is actually very personal. It happened when we were in college and I went to school with this girl in high school. Wow. So it's a case that I've known from the jump and it relates to me and they're actually has been a little bit of good that came last year. But yeah, but her name is faith hedgepath. I don't know if maybe Melissa may have heard because makari actually went to school with us. She was in the area. We didn't go to the same high school, but she was in the same area and it was all over the news. Where we used to live and what happened was in September. I think September 7th of 2012, faith was at UNC Chapel Hill and she was beaten to death inside of her off campus apartment, her roommate discovered her body and it was just bloody all over the place. She was on a blood soap mattress, covered in a blanket. She had no clothes on from the waist down. And when her shirt was pulled up, she had all of the semen covering her. On her chest and everything. And what's even creepier is there was a note that was written next to her body and it says I'm not a stupid bitch jealous. And it was just, yeah. It said, I'm not a stupid bitch jealous. It's horrible English, but that's what it had the note next to her body. And they also found an empty Bacardi bottle next to her. That was used to hit her many, many times in her head. And what happened the day before was she was just minding her business. It was the start of a new term semester. And she was actually a Native American, so she was rushing. I think if alpha filed omega might have been the sorority, and she later went home with her roommate and a few hours later, they went to one of the local clubs and bars downtown in Chapel Hill. They stayed there around like two 30 in the morning and I think it was like faith was extremely sick that night..

The Regime Being Run By Pharmaceutical Companies With Daniel Horowitz
"Daniel, and one of your pieces of my memory serves me well, I'm going to dig it up. You allude to the fact that this really is a regime that is being run by pharmaceutical companies. That this is about the small group of pharmaceutical companies that are calling the shots. Is it that sinister? Is it that diabolical Daniel or is there another explanation to this? I mean, I think it's broader than that, but certainly one of the lead ships in that armada of the system when you talk about the system, the cabal, the globalists, it's the pharmaceuticals. And I love how you call it the Fauci virus. China virus is really off message. The likely knew about it and maybe they had some involvement. This ain't the Chinese. They used Wuhan because it was offshore. This was done by UNC UNC Chapel Hill berwick, Jurassic, Fauci, and all the pharmaceuticals that were in it.

"Member of the board of trustees itself. And i wanted to ask you this whole issue of a tenure for faculty we've seen several battles now in recent years about a prestigious universities not approving tenure for prominent black and latino scholars. What do you say to people who say. These are basically tempest in a teapot that these are middle class intellectuals seeking to get approval of a permanent job lifetime job tenure is in these universities when millions of americans are what was just a decent paying job not and can dream of having lifetime tenure. How important are these battles in terms of the the battles over institutional racism in society. Right now i think it's a microcosm of a lot of things we're seeing in the nation right at public universities certainly at the university of north carolina system in unc chapel hill. Its flagship institution. These organizations are Their boards that governing boards are political appointees so the unc board of governors for instance which governs the entire unc system. All of its schools has one democrat right now because republicans in the north general assembly appointing that democrat is a democrat who lost who is a lawmaker in lost his primary primarily because of siding very often with conservatives and republicans so that's what they put on the on the board there the The board at chapel hill is stacked with white men and stack with people who are conservative. It doesn't look anything like the. The university itself is the question of tenure monday. You get a tenure appointment to champagne problem. I think it might seem that way for many people but nicole. Hannah jones doesn't come from an niger. Your ivory tower background. She doesn't come from the middle class. She's from waterloo iowa. She grew up in a working community where she didn't know black people who went to college. She went to notre dame she went to. Unc progress school. She worked her way up from the chapel hill news in north carolina new york times one peabody hope national magazine awards the pulitzer along the way. So when you see somebody doing what conservatives say that they should do themselves up by their straps achieved in america and then they hit us sort of a glass ceiling. Friday logical reasons. I think that's the problem i want. Wanna turn to to clips one the megadonor and then the protestor who at this point might have more power. This is unc. Megadonor walter hussmann speaking in a two thousand nineteen video about his twenty five million dollar namesake donation to the unc hussmann school of journalism and media. We're investing in carolina journalism because it's a very important time in america. Americans are beginning to realize they need to a trusted source of professional journalists. And now i want to turn to a student when black students tried to attend the unc. Board of trustees meeting on wednesday. June thirtieth were members voted on whether to grant tenure to nicole hannah. Jones campus police forcibly removed. The students from the room as we all of their how this is. Unc student talia Van one of the protesters in that clip speaking on black shoes black news tonight with marc lamont hill about whether. Unc is a place where she wants to be now. They feel they can do anything to treat as any kind of way. I want you to ask yourselves. Honestly this is what we saw them do today on camera and they knew the world was watching. How do you honestly think they treat us. When you're not paying attention. I will never ever ever forget the less than unc chapel hill talking today and we'll continue to bring this up when i'm talking to potential. Black students were interested in coming here in the future now. Unc police chief Chapel hill has resigned after what happened at that. Trustee meeting joe killian take us from there. The power of hussmann. The power of the protesters. Well i mean you know. I think what you're seeing in that. Protest clip is a lot of pent up frustration over a a number of issues dealing with politics and race at the university for years where students and faculty and staff members collared do not feel. They've been hurt and have had conflict with the people who are governing the university governing the university system. Who are very very removed from his attending the university and teaches at the university. Who the our if you just look at the makeup social makeup the racial ethic makeup of of these words they just don't reflect the students in ideologically they certainly don't represent the students so there's a terrific amount of frustration built up as to how much influence they have. I mean i think that this. This incident proves that when the campus sort of speak says one faculty staff students alumni a major major funders of the university. They can get the attention of the people who are in charge. But you know can they make real change at you know. That's a harder question. Only the members of the north carolina general assembly can change leadership awards and people coming in are not any less conservative. In fact i would say that either more conservative than the people who are leaving. And the and i wanted to ask you terms of the impact of this night of this knightfoundation money which supposedly is also attracting a other foundations. The ford foundation and others for a multimillion dollar grant a howard university. What the impact is going to be a of that decision of these major foundations to essence provided alternative to what. Unc was so late and granting to into in terms of tenure here. Yeah this is not the first one we've seen this either. You wouldn't see lost a major grant after it's a debacle over the silence and confederate monument on its campus and how a candle bat and it continues to come in conflict with major donors and to lose downers ends money from individual individuals who donated school to which honestly but some of the folks who were running school and running university. Say okay. that's fine. Burt redoing it. What it is we want to do and we believe that. Will you know. Continue to find the money to do that. We're you know we're not interested in changing direction. Because these people who our work don't like our students toppled the statue the confederate statue in two thousand eighteen. Now the unc. Press in the crosshairs of the board of governors which is refusing to reappoint professor. Eric muller who criticized the handling of the silent stem statue. We have five seconds. Yeah eric muller is a renown. Unc law professor. Who has been on the unc press or for two terms. He was three seconds to be. Reappointed was reappointed and has heads with the order.

"Chapel hill soon it for listeners. Who haven't been following the story as closely as say you or i. Can you explain the background of what's been going on and why there's been so much over. Unc's decision to give or not. Give nicole hannah jones tenure. Sure let's start with the fact that nicole. Hannah jones is a pulitzer prize winner and decorated professional journalism. Who works for the new york times so she has a long record as a professional journalist and an acclaimed one so she was recruited by the university of north carolina chapel hill to come teach there as a journalism professor specifically. She was recruited to the night chair in race and investigative journalism that was a pretty plum perch for her at unc. If she wanted it then unc got into a big controversy first internally and behind the scenes but then burst into public view about whether she nicole. Hannah jones should be granted. Tenure and that controversy simmered and simmered exploded and then finally got settled last week with the board of trustees voting to give her tenure but she at the end of the day was kind of turned off by the controversy. She said hey. Why is this controversial. What why was my application for tenure delayed when others who had previously held this position that i'm about to come into been given tenure. No problem she wanted to be treated the same as predecessors and she wasn't so why is being tenured so important. Tenure is the top of the academic ladder for professors. It gives them the freedom to say and think and do the kind of research that they want to do without fear of being fired or punished for it now. It's not an absolute people who have tenure can get fired but it really gives professors. Who have it a degree of protection and autonomy. That they believe will help them continued the work of the university. In seeking truth and knowledge wherever that search leads and that protects them from political influence protects them from Meddling by outsiders and gives them a certain degree of assurance that from year to year. Whatever they might say in the classroom or publish in a journal article will not come back to bite them and caused them to lose their jobs. after nicole. hannah jones is announcement that she's going to. Howard what is unc chapel hill said about all of this we asked you sees top officials for comment this morning. We haven't heard anything back yet. We expect that we will at some point soon. We also have received a comment from the dean of the journalism. School at unc. Now she's not top official at the university but she is the head of the journalism school and her name is susan king and she said she was disappointed that unc would not be getting nicole. Hannah jones onto its faculty and dean king had frankly champion tenure for nicole hannah jones. She also said that you know. Unc has some work ahead of it to to be the kind of university of spires to be. So you know. I think dean king and the faculty at that school. Unc are going to be leading a discussion. That's going to be wide ranging And it's probably going to draw in other sectors of the university about how to avoid this drama in the future can curious how does all of this news surrounding nicole hannah jones. How has it revealed broader issues. Not only at unc chapel hill but other higher ed institutions as well. Well we can't escape really the moment that the country is in. There's deep introspection in this country about the treatment of black professionals in the workplace and that extends to of course universities nicole. Hannah jones is a black woman and black. Female faculty are not represented in proportion in academia too. You know their numbers in society at large and they have a lot of stories to tell about mistreatment and discrimination of various kinds. And so. I think there's a lot of faculty numbers out there who look at the story and they feel resonance in the story either to their own situation personally or two situations that they've witnessed behind the scenes and and have regrets doubts about I think this is going to spark soul-searching throughout academia not just at unc. it's really about equity. It's about fair treatment and it's about you know. How does the professor orient of america look and how does it act. And how does it take care of its own and how does it respect. The work of people who have risen to the top of their professions and into the top of their fields and treat them as equals In in the search for knowledge and in the teaching of knowledge. I just feel really overwhelmed in really exhausted to be completely honest. The problem of racism and higher education goes well beyond nicole. Hannah jones a couple of weeks ago jordan. Maria reached out to a few black female professors and she wanted to hear from them about what their experiences have been like. Working in academia i came on as chair and who wasn't as if the job itself was going to be difficult for me. What was going to be difficult is sitting in a room knowing that i might be one of the only if not one of maybe three black women a black woman in academia and my my very narrow experience i've been supported. I've had good relationships. I've had people who have mentor to me. Well i've also been excluded. i've also been minimized. That is dr marinda. Catherine hera levy a professor.

Ap ta in a n. p. t. could you just kinda give a brief Overview of kind of how the brain injury falls into place where really falls amongst the structure of the aneka ti. Of course that abt a has a number of academies sections and so the academy with under which the brain injury special interest group falls is the academy of neurologic physical therapy or a. n. p. t. and so under a. n. p. t. There are eight special interest groups or six and so the brain injury special interest group is one of those eight special interest groups and the intent is just to break down the content area or Interest area of clinicians and their pets Into common interest areas so that the special interest groups kind of interface directly with the membership on a smaller level. Right right thanks. That's really helpful. I think to kind of know where everyone falls in alignment and kind of how they all work together. So the brain injury sig than is part of the a. N. p. t. Does the brain injury saying have its own particular goals or kind of missions or things that it's doing to can help on conditions who are had interested in helping individuals with brain injury. Yeah so the jury's special interest group mission aligns with the economy of neurologic. Pt's mission and is basically. And i'm paraphrasing. But it's basically just a forum to promote health wellness Optimal function and quality of life for individuals with acquired brain injury That's kind of the overall arching thing is to gather people who are interested in providing care and assisting individuals with acquired brain injury From the physical therapy perspective.

In a public response to weeks ago, the school's chancellor, defended the decision not to follow the health Department writing. We are well prepared for the start of the fall semester. Cory Turner.

Detecting Emotion Through Gait with Aniket Bera
"Hello and welcome to the AI. Today podcast I'm your host Kathleen Mall I'm your host modeled Schmeltzer our guest. Today is unaccounted. Berra is the research professor in computer science at the University of Maryland at the Gamma Lab. Thank you so much for joining us today. Thank you so much. Thank you for inviting. Yeah thanks so much for joining us today. We'd like to start by having you introduce yourself to our listeners. Tell them a little bit about your background. And your current role at the University of Maryland. Sure I've been with him for a little under a year so for this was at. Unc Chapel Hill for a year and had mcbean St at UNC in robotics so a hermit research over the last few years has been trying to work on the social aspect of our bodies whether from the computer vision side where we look different objects after we as humans when we look at different objects. How do we perceive them? So my research has always been about. Data perception for robots and robot can understand the world around us like as humans. It's what research has been over the last six seven years might Rowlatt you. Md has enough research faculty. I advise about seven students now from vision. Applications to robotic applications the psychology driven. Ai Applications on McLennan field of research is something affective computing affective computing. What it means is that we're trying to gauge emotions on Detroit's you in aggressive Shy said figured out different cues from your visual appearance like your facial expressions the way you speak things the way you walk from all of that. Can I figure out your emotions and then do something? According you follow. What specific here. That was something that we found really interesting. You know part of the reason why we reached out to you and hang you join us on their today podcasts. As we wrote an article for our today podcast listeners. He may or may not know that Kathleen and I are also contributing writers to Forbes and tech target and one of the articles that wrote in Forbes was how systems might be able to detect your emotion. Just by taking a look at how you walk and other sort of non maybe visual facial visual or verbal cues and that's part of what being socially intelligent is. I guess we as humans can read things like body language. But there's a lot more to it. So maybe you can explain some of the concepts of socially intelligent robots and why this idea of social intelligence is important yes oh the concept of socially intelligent robots is essentially making robots understanding humans. Better so we. As humans are not objective to be tend to evaluate unheard of things based on out upbringing aquaculture in all these different rates. And then associate all those things in everyday life so In this research which you mentioned the phobic mad we did when research way we could figure out how people walk and then have a garden new. Somebody's side we could mechanize that person sadness just by looking at his a her. Buster is a hub body language and maybe the robot can walk up to that person and ask questions. You look sad today. Can I help you like some help if somebody is Chris excessively angry? I might want to talk to that person and maybe even avoid that person together. Assembly looks confused. The robot co that Bush announce something that you look lost here. Do you need help been something. Do you need to some place? So all these different we inherently as humans. Do which usually doing tend to do those things so go. The last Jedi as robotics has always been about solving problems accurately and objectively so. Let's say you know the goal for about is go from point eight in be and the robot will try to figure out the shortest are the most efficient go from point eight point what via bringing in is also being associated vendor most socially aware the. Somebody's walking. I want that other person to have his hub Robot I do not want to enjoy on. Somebody's face so having all the social norms social events bring it back to robotics is what the concept of socially intelligent robot as unwise. This idea important I think has become more primetime and as they become more available among says I think they should try to attempt to understand humans and be Understand humans but go beyond that and be part of the human society He not interesting because we talk about commonsense emotional Iq and that's incredibly hard for robots and artificial intelligence to actually have been a lot harder than I think. Maybe some people realize although there has been some discussion around it and at COG Melika for the past two years we've actually done voice assistant benchmark and commonsense and emotional. Iq were too of the categories of questions that we asked because supposingly the systems were not very good at that but this idea of AI systems that can detect emotion based on gate is a really unique idea. So where did this concept come about? So we started this. Actually I think about skate years ago. I mean I know. Eight years ago IAE wasn't the we'd know now things were different back then but we started with the concept of can't be figured out somebody's personality just the like just looking at how they walk back. Then we started the representing every human being every industry as a single entity as a single dot on the screen so used to look at videos. And how this guy is trying to avoid somebody to cut across people to figure. Oh his guys aggressive. This guy's got shy guy walks around all these other guys look from that and now we figured out so from the dot aspect of figuring out the entire body leg rewrite now have around twenty two points Bush and so all our lake from your leg from your hand gestures your shoulder through your slaughtering head so all these things. All these different cues which we observe. That wasn't really being studied before there's a lot of research on the emotional especially from faces. You know somebody's happy. Somebody said there's a lot of research in this field especially from speech in the way I see something. Let's say I'm happy? I'm very happy today. I'm okay I'm happy but also the way you say. The sentence is the content of the sentence is one thing but also to the way you was at so all these different cues were being studied in different fees realized that the body language is something which really people studying. We look at people a lot. We look when they walk in the talking when they're driving but we don't we we know what they're going to but we don't really like we haven't understood how gives how walking body language relates to emotion so our on this hatred emotion is kind of it could be added all these facial cues with speed with other were. Hughes from the human so I researched

Regina A. Mason: Searching for William E. Grimes
"Jimmy Mason is a remarkable woman. She spent fifteen years of a life researching alive for great great. Great Grandfather William Grimes with nothing to go on the connection to the underground railroad. She spent countless hours in libraries reading books. Looking at Michael Film and Census Records Grind was changes. Oh when he was sold away from the arms of grieving mother to a far plantation hair grew up friendless and mother list apparently no surrogate slave family or loved ones to embrace him. No one even to look after him. Grimes was the first person to go through slavery in the South and write about it. This was the first time cousin. Slavery exposed onto the spectrum of one who had lived in and he was the first author to write about the harsh realities of the north. Despite the narrative of his big F- freedom land. Recently in Black America spoke with China rant to produce of Gina's journey the site for William Grimes and Regina e Mason on today's program. We conclude our conversation and so my co-producer contacted his agent his agency and they sent it over and to my astonishment he came back and was like I'll do it and it was more than a reasonable rate and which also made us faint and the next thing I was out in In Hollywood in in Melrose actually at his recording studio and and directing keep David in the booth which was mind blowing to say the least and he was astonished to see you know me and and and you know given my age and done and being an African American male to be directing this film so that that really made him happy when he saw that he just was was really blown away with it but he blessed the project came in. He did the most amazing work on it and it really just elevated genus story and Grind Story to a whole new level so we will be internally thankful to him for that and every once in a while I do have talks with them still. He's just a really good person and I think he's a studier of history. He's very big in the voice over world. He's an Emmy Award Winning Boys Actor. Who's done a ton of Ken? Burns documentaries so he was really into and this is his thing so I think he really enjoyed working on this project and we were better for Ms Mason ominously. This was labor intensive. This is way before Google and everything else. So what gave you that consistent drive to want wanting to complete this project William Grimes himself you know when you read his narrative all that. He endured life to the cruelty the abuse at every turn. He was reminded that he was nothing but he never bought into the status quo. In fact he defied the status quo. Every turn just the fact that he had the notion that he was capable of writing his own story without any assistance from white people speaks to who he was and how self assured he was so his example of perseverance and endurance gave me the will to to just carry on it. And see this per- This project to to the end and I'm speaking of the book project and I do have to say this once. I started digging into this story and realizing that no other scholars and really looked at it. In fact when I went looking for any body of research that was done on William Grimes it was so inaccurate and they were historians to just took liberty to to write about this man having not done any research whatsoever and then I came across the Work of Dr William L. Andrews scholar from UNC UNC Chapel Hill University of North Carolina Chapel Hill extraordinary expert on early African. American autobiography. I came across his book to tell of Free Story and he studies the slave narratives and included in his body of work which is sort of like the scholars Bible. Today he wrote about William Grimes not a whole lot more than I had found those about four pages of work and I needed to make sense of that genre of literature that I really knew nothing about so I reached out to him and he at the time was the only living collar who that who I could talk to and we sort of built a relationship every now and then I would send him information about what I found a William Grimes and he one day wrote me back and he says look the work you've done has to be preserved in some fashion or another then. He approached the idea of partnering to do a book. Because I knew that bill knew that I I wanted to bring this story to light this new scholarship that had never been done before on William grinds and he definitely was the right person because obviously he had studied grimes he had written about grinds and there was really no one else that I could associate myself with and he was the man when it came to early African American autobiography and so we partnered and We developed what we call all. What has been the authoritative edition of the life of William Grimes runaway slave? What was it like your feelings when you you read his narrative and then understood that your great great grandfather was just not an ordinary slave Well I WANNA say this William Grunt was an ordinary man. Who didn't extraordinary thing? I want to move to realize we may not have those narrative is out there. We may not be able to to. We can maybe able to find our ancestors who had been enslaved on In plantation records or slave inventories. And all you see our names sadly those voices we will never know their voice or their humanity because the story doesn't exist so to find this first person account of slavery and by the way we them grams. It's the first person of color to go through slavery in the south. Handle right about it so for the first time we got to hear about southern slavery from the perspective of the Sleigh and not from the slave owner himself so it's a different kind of storing. It's more authentic and true in terms of the experience so to recover this and then associate myself to this narrative. I realize that all of his virtues are inside of me so when you say William Grimes was not the ordinary slave he definitely speaks for those who didn't have a voice and I believe that. None of the slaves bought into the enslaved narrative that was supposed to be their destination and ultimately was their destination or a. Yes. I believe that they all had that will to be free. And and in their own circumstances they asserted whatever power they had in a rebellious way. And so to know though that William Grimes was able to make out of slavery and to tell his story is huge it is it's just incredibly empowering and I realized that again that his virtues existed me and he was my example every step of the way when I wanted to give up when I was faced with all kinds of closed doors I realized that he faced those same and he was told no over and over again but he found a way to get it done and so I I it brings me great. Pride that this enslaved man who never bought into the status quo live within

Red Meat Allergies Caused By Tick Bites Are On The Rise
"The ticks range expands npr's alison aubrey reports one day last summer lars sterling took her doug governor for a walk on a trail near her house she lives in savannah park maryland later that evening she realized she'd been bitten by a tick i found it three or four inches to the left of my hip it bone and didn't think anything of it i just took it off and threw it away but about three weeks later she ate an italian style pork sausage for dinner and had a horrible reaction i would say it was probably six hours after i ate it it was in the middle of the night and i woke up covered in hives she was itching and scratching she felt lightheaded she also noticed stomach aches so she went to see an allergist he asked me did you change your detergent did you change anything in your diet and i said no and he said in the last month where you bitten by a tick and i said yes after a blood test the allergist told her she was allergic to red meat and maybe dairy too i thought it was completely crazy because i've eaten dairy and i've eaten red meat all my life her story is pretty typical of people who develop a red meat allergy after a tick bite says allergist scott commons he's an associate professor at unc chapel hill and he was among the first to identify the allergy in patients with tick bites about ten years ago he says back then there were just a few dozen known cases but now we're confident that the number is over five thousand at least in the us alone there are also cases in sweden germany and australia likely linked to other species of ticks now coming says in the us cases of moved beyond the southeast to new york maine and minnesota absolutely we're gonna find this continues to expand the reach of the tick is expanding and equally i think we have a blood test raising awareness and the word is getting out there's still a lot to learn about this allergy it's known as an alpha gal allergy alpha gallison's sugar that animals make including cows and pigs but we don't as humans we don't make this alpha gal sugar we all make an immune response to it so how does it tick bite 'cause as the allergy well it's possible that ticks inject alpha gal into people's bodies when they bite the ticks likely get it from feeding off wild animals such as mice or squirrels come and says it's also possible that ticks activate the response in another way whatever the tick is doing it seems that it's a very potent awakening for our immune system to produce antibodies and in this case it is antibodies to a very particular sugar in red meat as for laura sterling she now avoids all dairy and all red meat once i was told just stop eating it i was fine felt great allergies usually give their alpha gal patients epipens because reactions can be dangerous but the good news is that people can outgrow the allergy this is most likely to happen if they avoid further tick bites allison aubrey npr news all right when you're pregnant you know the doctors want you to get a few key vaccines and now the american college obstruct obstetricians and gynecologists is trying to make that a little bit easier for the first time it's put together a one page immunization guide for obese and midwives npr selena simmons duffin who happens to be pregnant at this very moment went to find out more the guide pulls together information about which shots pregnant women should skip which they can get an which they should definitely get the two and that should get category are the flu shot since the flu can be really dangerous for pregnant women and teed up the tetanus diphtheria protests vaccine would you have samuel you'll like it that's medical assistant kimberly johnson getting ready to give me teed up a few weeks ago at thirty weeks pregnant from spain the idea here is to protect newborns against pertussis or hooping cough people are like i never heard of who've been caused what's the big deal like why do we even have to worry about this that's dr laura riley she's the vice chair of obstetrics at massachusetts general hospital and helped write the.
