CDCR is empowering employees to not only do the right thing, but to influence others to also do the right thing. The department has partnered with Heroes, an organization that provides Active Bystandership training for corrections, fire and rescue, and health care departments. This training teaches employees when and how to effectively intervene in several situations, from deescalating tense situations, stepping in to stop a mistake that could cause harm, or recognizing the signs of work-related stress that may lead to emotional or physical harm. Active bystandership helps create an environment where all employees pitch in to make a more effective system, with each member knowing they are supportive by a team. Active Bystandership is not a whistleblower program – it is designed to teach evidence-based strategies to perform and receive an intervention in ways that are respectful and effective. Sgt. Corey Ringer and Captain Jeremy Brown chat with Abigail Tucker and Greg Hanna of Heroes Active Bystandership. They discuss how active bystandership increases safety and employee wellness, and how knowing when and how to intervene are key. They are joined by Sgt. Michael Ryer, who has been trained to teach the course at CDCR. Visit the Heroes website to earn more about Heroes Active Bystandership for Corrections.

AM1300 今日話題 Today's Topic

這是一個講女性的話題,話題來自科學專欄作家Abigail Tucker的觀察和她的新書《媽媽的基因》。作者本人是四個孩子的母親,對於生孩子和做母親,她是有發言權的。 書中,她以動物世界和全球母子調查為基礎,從自己第一次生孩子講起,談到“姥姥”的重要性。我們知道,動物世界是缺少“祖母之愛”的。很多動物來不及做祖母已經死亡,更有大量動物,一旦完成生育,就棄子而去,根本不認識後代,讓他們自生自滅。更多詳細内容請進入《今日話題》Facebook 臉書專頁:https://www.facebook.com/1300todaystopic/

Kathryn interviews Molecular Oncologist St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Martine F. Roussel PhD. She's a legendary female scientist whose half-century of research into childhood brain tumors has led to new avenues of treatments and therapies to maximize cures. A long-time advocate for women in science, Roussel was among several female scientists who were part of a “Women in Cancer Research” article in Nature discussing gender equality in science and the work necessary to level the playing field. Elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2019, she became the first-ever woman scientist to receive the honor of having a portrait on display in the gallery of the Danny Thomas Research Center on the campus of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Kathryn also interviews Abigail Tucker, NY Times best selling author of “Mom Genes: Inside the New Science of Our Ancient Maternal Instinct.” Does motherhood change how a woman feels love? Are mothers destined to mimic their own mom's parenting style? Does the brain of a new mom ever really bounce back? The answers, explored in Tucker's new book, have powerful implications for women, families and our society. A longtime writer for Smithsonian Magazine, Tucker writes Mom Genes to be scientific and accessible. Part scientific odyssey, part memoir, it weaves the latest research from top labs across the globe including Yale, Princeton, Leiden and more with Tucker's personal experiences to create a delightful, surprising and poignant portrait of motherhood.

The cat. King of the jungle, emperor of the internet, overlord of our homes? Cats are easily among the most adaptable mesopredator, able to survive and thrive everywhere from the deserts of Australia, to the Arctic tundra, to a cramped studio apartment.  Abigail Tucker is a contributing writer for Smithsonian and author of the new book, Lion in the Living Room: How House Cats Tamed Us and Took Over the World. Tucker explains just how wild the beasts that live among us really are. Known for their independence and convenience, cats need little house training, if any. Tucker asserts that while cats don’t require training, they may actually be the ones training us, monitoring our behaviors and teaching us how to keep them happy. So who, exactly, is domesticating whom? Tucker delves paws-first into the feline mind, debunking cat myths and misconceptions, and shedding light on the role cats have played throughout history, as well as how we might be able to benefit from them in the future.
