The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

We learn about a new injectable microgel to help reduce bleeding in infants who require surgical care. In a mice model, it reduced bleeding by at least 50%. Ashley Brown, Professor of Biomedical Engineering at North Carolina State University and UNC Chapel Hill tells presenter Claudia Hammond more about this new material her team has designed.Joined by Professor of Global Health and Epidemiology at Boston University in the US, Dr Matthew Fox, Claudia hears about a mystery illness that is being investigated by health officials in Burundi, which has caused five deaths and sickened thirty-five people. So far lab analysis of the illness - which causes fever, vomiting, and diarrhoea - has been negative for Ebola and Marburg viruses, Rift Valley fever, and others.We hear about influential analysis from Cochrane which has concluded that "breakthrough" Alzheimer's drugs are unlikely to benefit patients. Researchers said the impact was "well below" what was needed to make a difference to dementia patients' lives. However, their report has also provoked a vicious backlash from equally esteemed scientists who label it as fundamentally flawed.We're joined by health journalist Katie Silver in Mexico, who brings us the news that the President, Claudia Sheinbaum, has announced the details of a plan to introduce universal healthcare – no mean feat in country of 130 million people.And we hear about an experiment that was done by academics to see if they could trick AI chatbots into believing in an entirely fake disease.

From her start playing paddle tennis on the streets of Harlem as a young teenager to her eleven Grand Slam tennis wins to her professional golf career, Althea Gibson became the most famous black sportswoman of the mid-twentieth century. In her unprecedented athletic career, she was the first African American to win titles at the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. In this comprehensive biography, Ashley Brown narrates the public career and private struggles of Althea Gibson (1927-2003). Based on extensive archival work and oral histories, Serving Herself: The Life and Times of Althea Gibson (Oxford UP, 2023) sets Gibson's life and choices against the backdrop of the Great Migration, Jim Crow racism, the integration of American sports, the civil rights movement, the Cold War, and second wave feminism. Throughout her life Gibson continuously negotiated the expectations of her supporters and adversaries, including her patrons in the black-led American Tennis Association, the white-led United States Lawn Tennis Association, and the media, particularly the Black press and community's expectations that she selflessly serve as a representative of her race.  An incredibly talented, ultra-competitive, and not always likeable athlete, Gibson wanted to be treated as an individual first and foremost, not as a member of a specific race or gender. She was reluctant to speak openly about the indignities and prejudices she navigated as an African American woman, though she faced numerous institutional and societal barriers in achieving her goals. She frequently bucked conventional norms of femininity and put her career ahead of romantic relationships, making her personal life the subject of constant scrutiny and rumors. Despite her major wins and international recognition, including a ticker tape parade in New York City and the covers of Sports Illustrated and Time, Gibson endeavored to find commercial sponsorship and permanent economic stability. Committed to self-sufficiency, she pivoted from the elite amateur tennis circuit to State Department-sponsored goodwill tours, attempts to find success as a singer and Hollywood actress, the professional golf circuit, a tour with the Harlem Globetrotters and her own professional tennis tour, coaching, teaching children at tennis clinics, and a stint as New Jersey Athletics Commissioner. As she struggled to support herself in old age, she was left with disappointment, recounting her past achievements decades before female tennis players were able to garner substantial earnings. A compelling life and times portrait, Serving Herself offers a revealing look at the rise and fall of a fiercely independent trailblazer who satisfied her own needs and simultaneously set a pathbreaking course for Black athletes.

From building homes to ushering theater-goers to re-enacting medieval history for middle-schoolers – yes, you read that right – acts of volunteerism have remained vital for communities across the country. And not just for people in need.This year, many volunteers have also reported seeing an increased need for food assistance across the country, as a temporary pause on the federal program known as SNAP left millions of Americans unable to buy food during the recent government shutdown. Ransom Miller, who co-founded a project that distributes food ahead of Thanksgiving for the past three decades, says he received more calls than ever this year.In this episode, Miller and others featured this past year as part of NPR's Here to Help series explain why they're motivated to give back to their communities. This episode was produced by Matt Ozug, Jason Fuller and Jonaki Mehta.

When John Fetterman won Pennsylvania's senate seat in 2022, Democrats across the country treated him as a hero and an example of a path forward for the party in the populist Trump era. Three years later, he often finds himself at odds with his party – most recently, on the government shutdown, Israel, and working class voters.He delves deeper into his political views and experiences in a new memoir out this week, titled Unfettered. In the book, he's also deeply honest about his struggles with mental health.“Honestly, I know millions of Americans suffer,” Fetterman told NPR. “And to really understand what [...] true deep depression is like [...] that's part of the conversation in the book.”This episode was produced by Tyler Bartlam with audio engineering from Andie Huether.

It's a critical week regarding the Affordable Care Act, which is at the center of the government shutdown impasse. “Window shopping" began for some people buying health insurance through the ACA – also known as Obamacare – giving enrollees estimates on how much their premiums could cost next year. Without the ACA tax credits that Democrats want to extend into 2026, many people could see big increases in their health care costs – 114%, on average, according to estimates by KFF, a nonprofit health policy think tank. While there's still time for lawmakers to strike a deal on extending the subsidies, “the longer this goes on, the more damage there could be,” says Cynthia Cox, who conducts research on Obamacare for KFF.This episode was produced by Michael Levitt, with audio engineering by Hannah Gluvna.

Travel has the power to transform us, not just by the destinations we explore but through the profound realizations and connections we forge along the way. Ashley Brown's journey is a testament to this transformative power, encapsulated beautifully in our soulful and heartfelt conversation. From Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to Parker, Colorado, and many places in between, Ashley's upbringing was anything but ordinary. Early exposure to diverse cultures set the stage for her life's trajectory. Moving from private to public school, from the sunny shores of Florida to the mountains of Colorado, Ashley encountered change with resilience and curiosity. Her family's adventurous spirit saw her tagging along on both domestic and international travels, embedding a deep love for exploration and language.Her story goes beyond the typical tales of a well-traveled person. It's about the undercurrents of empathy, curiosity, and inclusivity that travel instills in a person. Ashley's multilingual abilities and multicultural background allowed her not just to perceive the world through various lenses but also to connect with it on a deeply empathetic level.One of the most compelling chapters in Ashley's journey is the inception and growth of The Conscious Crop. Born out of a period of introspection and a desire to merge her spiritual journey with her entrepreneurial spirit, The Conscious Crop is a sustainable, upcycled, and eco-friendly retail venture. It reflects Ashley's deep empathy for the planet and her commitment to conscious living.Travel, as Ashley's story beautifully illustrates, is more than just about the places we visit. It's about the internal transformations we undergo, the connections we forge, and the empathetic lens through which we start to view the world. It's about finding our tribe, aligning our careers with our passions, and making a meaningful impact.In the words of Ashley, the essence of travel and life is about “finding soul tribes in unlikely places,” and “saying yes to the universe.” Her story is a compelling call to embrace our multifaceted journeys, to seek transformation in every adventure, and to live intentionally, passionately, and consciously.We talk about:00:00 Intro02:09 Growing up in a culturally rich background07:15 The Power of Multilingualism and Cultural Identity09:13 Setting your own identity through living all over the worl15:00 Transformative Travel Experiences: From Childhood to Adulthood21:02 What is Astrocartography22:01 Ashley's Soul Hustle - Conscious Crop22:01 Embarking on a Soul Hustle: The Birth of Conscious Crop30:07 Launching The Conscious Crop: A Sustainable Fashion Journey31:24 Collaborating with The Retreat: Merging Fashion and Healing32:16 The Impact of Conscious Crop at The Retreat37:17 Reflections on The Retreat Experience45:13 Integrating Travel Experiences into Everyday Life55:58 Conclusion and Next StepsIn this episode:Episode 9: https://transform-with-travel.captivate.fm/episode/009-use-astrology-to-plan-your-travels-with-zoe-cardiffResources & Links:Ready for your next adventure?
