This week, our hosts break down discussions from the recent meeting held by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), a group of advisors to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The updates include reassuring data on the safety of vaccines, who is getting hospitalized for COVID, and the role of vaccine boosters now and in the future. “The goal is not to stop COVID entirely; it's about the prevention of severe disease. To me, this is similar to the flu, nobody in public health rationally thinks that we can ever stop flu via vaccination in a given year,” says Steven Newmark, Director of Policy at GHLF. “But public health officials recommend vaccinations to help slow the spread to those most vulnerable and to protect against severe disease." Among the highlights in this episode: 00:52- Zoe and Steven kick off the episode by introducing this week's topic about the CDC's external advisory committee's recent meeting focusing on COVID-19 vaccines and boosters 01:47- Steven shares that the data discussed in the meeting prove that the COVID-19 vaccines continue to be safe 02:15- Steven and Zoe discuss another finding from the meeting, that hospitalizations with COVID-19 were from patients who went to the hospital for COVID-19 treatment, as opposed to entering with another ailment and being diagnosed with COVID secondarily 03:23- Steven and Zoe look at the numbers for COVID hospitalizations amongst children, which showed that 50 percent did not have underlying conditions 04:35- Zoe discusses the CDC's risk benefit analysis for giving adolescents the COVID-19 vaccine 05:22- Zoe and Steven talk about the different scenarios adults have for getting their booster 08:15- Steven and Zoe close the episode by sharing what they learnedSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fred Cate joins Tim to talk about how big tech companies could use your personal data without your knowledge or explicit consent and some of the legal issues involved. Fred is vice president for research, a distinguished professor of law and a senior fellow at Indiana University's Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research. This espisode was first released April 26, 2021. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Encore_-_What_are_your_online_privacy_rights.mp3 Earlier this month, Alaska was the latest state to take up the issue of consumer data privacy when the state's governor introduced bills in both legislative chambers. The two bills – Senate Bill 116 and House Bill 159 – are both called the Consumer Data Privacy Act. They are designed to give individuals the right to know what personal information is being collected about them and request its deletion. If the bills become law, consumers would be able to opt out of the sale of their personal information. They would be able to learn whether their information has been sold or shared with third parties. Why is this important? You know when you log onto your computer or use your smart phone someone is watching. So what? Right? We all know our data is out there, but just where is there? And who is there? But, did you ever wonder what is actually happening with your data? And by data, I don't just mean your financial transactions, your texts, your tweets, your pictures and your posts. I mean everything. Not only is your smart phone and your computer tracking you, but it's making decisions about you, it's inferring things about you. It's judging you. And it could be sharing its conclusions about you with someone else who wants to sell to you. Or sell access to you to yet someone else. And that's where it starts to get really interesting. Someone may want you to buy something, or go somewhere, or donate to something, or protest against something, or boycott something, and they may try to maneuver you into doing just that. All without your even realizing it. Professor Fred Cate of Indiana University is one of the foremost experts on cybersecurity and he specializes in information privacy and the law.

Food and diet-related chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and some types of cancer pose a major public health problem. Today, more than half of adults have one or more diet-related chronic diseases.How do we know whether what we are eating is medicine or is toxic and leading to chronic diseases.  To address this question the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) was set by The U.S Federal government to provide dietary advice for the public for more than 100 years.In 1977, after years of discussion, scientific review, and debate, the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs, led by Senator George McGovern, released Dietary Goals for the United States. The Dietary Goals recommended:To avoid overweight, consume only as much energy as is expended; if overweight, decrease energy intake and increase energy expenditure.Increase the consumption of complex carbohydrates and “naturally occurring” sugars from about 28 percent of intake to about 48 percent of energy intake.Reduce the consumption of refined and processed sugars by about 45 percent to account for about 10 percent of total energy intake.Reduce overall fat consumption from approximately 40 percent to about 30 percent of energy intake.n 1980, the first publication of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans was released. Since then, the Dietary Guidelines have become the cornerstone of Federal food and nutrition guidance. Who sets the guidelines and do they have any conflicts of interest. This was the question asked by Dr Paulo Serodio who has a PhD in Political Economy from the University of Essex and held research positions at Northeastern University (Boston, USA), University of Oxford (Oxford, UK) and University of Barcelona (Barcelona, Spain).  His vast research experience is in network science, econometrics, data analysis, text analysis and machine learning. The 2020-2025 Guidelines are centred around the philosophy of  Make every bite count and it is up to the individual to make healthy food and beverage choices.The guidelines matter as they set the tone for global nutrition recommendations. From the DGA website:"The guidelines aims are on disease prevention and health promotion, the information in the Dietary Guidelines is used to develop Federal food, nutrition, and health policies and programs. It also serves as the basis for nutrition education materials designed for the public and for the nutrition education components of the USDA and HHS food programs. State and local governments, schools, the food industry, other businesses, community groups, and media also use Dietary Guidelines information to develop programs, policies, and communication for the general public. Nutrition and health professionals are encouraged to promote the Dietary Guidelines as a means of helping Americans to focus on eating a healthful diet and being physically active at each life stage. A fundamental premise of the 2020- 2025 Dietary Guidelines is that just about everyone, no matter their health status, can benefit from shifting food and beverage choices to better support healthy dietary patterns."It also is the basis for Federal nutrition education materials designed for the public and for the nutrition education components of USDA and HHS nutrition programs.

Topic: When we take a deeper look at the home appraisal industry, it doesn't take long to realize that there's an apparent correlation between the value of your home and your skin color. And unfortunately, when trying to sell a home - the darker your shade, the less you'll get paid. Perhaps it's because the home appraisal industry is mostly white, male and aging: the Bureau of Labor Statistics says that of the 75,000 appraisers in the United States, 97 percent are white, and other surveys show that nearly three-quarters are both male and above the age of 45.

In this week's “22 Lessons on Ethics and Technology" special series, I sit down with Dr. Evelynn Hammonds to talk about how race and gender have shaped the histories of science, medicine, and technological development. We explore the divisions between investigations of gender within scientific and technological inquiry, and race within these same fields. How can an intersectional approach challenge our science and technologies to better serve, and include, a broader diversity of people? How have our concepts of science and technology, and our assumptions about what they can and should do, been shaped by exclusions? How can those trained and working in the Humanities can learn from those trained in and working in the Sciences and Technology fields, and vice-versa? How does an understanding of the history of ideas, and the people and forces that have shaped them, inform our ability to build, innovate, and create work cultures that are more ethical and equitable? Professor Hammonds is the Barbara Gutmann Rosenkrantz Professor of the History of Science and Professor of African and African American Studies in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the Harvard T.H.
