You've probably heard about saving coral reefs and planting mangroves, but what about seagrass? These underwater meadows are quietly holding up our coasts and climate, but we're losing them fast - at about two football fields every hour, globally. In the first of a two part series on seagrass, we speak to marine ecologist Associate Professor Dr. Jillian Ooi, to help us understand seagrass better, why protecting existing seagrass is far more effective than replanting, and what's at stake if we don't act now.Image Credit: ShutterstockSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sex-bias in healthcare and research has long been a prevalent issue for women, as clinical trials occurring as recently as 2023 have excluded women, in favour of testing men as “the average person”. This has had consequences such as women being more likely to experience negative side effects to certain drugs, due to important differences in female bodies being unaccounted for in research. As today is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, producer Athena spoke to Associate Professor, Dr Kelly Burrowes, at the University of Auckland Bioengineering Institute, about the historic and current gender inequities in healthcare and clinical research, as well as The FemTech Revolution.

The University of Washington celebrated sociologist and Associate Professor Dr. LaShawnDa L. Pittman 2023 publication, Grandmothering While Black: A Twenty-First-Century Story of Love, Coercion, and Survival. A listener alerted Gus about this book when it was first published. Gus reminded them of The C.O.W.S.'s #WhiteGuestOnly policy. However, we did hear from Dr. Pittman earlier this year during the celebration of Dorothy Roberts's years of superb attempted counter-racist scholarship. Dr. Pittman was a part of a panel discussion that included Professor Roberts - the audio is in the archives. Gus saw advertisements for the coming celebration for the paperback publication of Dr. Pittman's important work on black grandmothers who serve as the primary caregiver for the their black grandchildren. She details the numerous ways the System of White Supremacy "coerces" these grandmothers into becoming guardians - even though they lack the legal status as a "parent." This talk featured 2 Suspected Racists alongside Dr. Pittman, and it would have been three, but one White female called out sick. The Gus felt the usual black misandry of the academy. However, Dr. Pittman twice made time to personally acknowledge and thank Gus for attending. Not the end of the White Supremacy, but her act of gratitude was appreciated. #BlackGrandparentsMatter #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

New landmark research, by Associate Professor Dr. Elizabeth Linos and co-authors, indicates that Black women may have worse career outcomes when their teams have a greater share of white colleagues. The research out of the Harvard Kennedy School finds that Black women on white teams are more likely to be labeled as "low performers." Additionally, they are promoted less often, and experience higher attrition rates when compared to their peers. Dr. Elizabeth Linos is the Emma Bloomberg Associate Professor for Public Policy and Management, and Faculty Director of The People Lab at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.

Are you tired of feeling pressure to conform to society's beauty standards? Have you been told to just accept your body as it is, but still feel unhappy with your appearance? It's time to take a deeper dive into the complex world of female self-image and the impact of labiaplasty. This episode will empower young women to understand the psychological factors influencing their perception of their own vulva region and embrace a more holistic approach to self-evaluation. Join us as we explore the changing dynamics of beauty ideals and the critical role of empathy and communication in discussing sensitive topics. In this episode of Beauty and the BS with Dr. Peter Grossman, you will be able to: Investigate the influences of labiaplasty and societal expectations on a woman's self-image. * Learn about the mental components that play a role in how women view their vulva region. * Embrace a well-rounded perspective on analyzing the vulva region that goes beyond the surface. * Observe the evolving trends in women's perceptions of their own appearance and beauty ideals. * Recognize the critical role of empathy and effective communication in discussing delicate topics. This week's guests are Dr. Christine Hamori and Associate Professor at Monash University, Dr. Gemma Sharp. Dr. Christine Hamori is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in facial plastic surgery and body contouring surgery in the Boston area. She is also a leader in the area of vaginal rejuvenation and labiaplasty. Professor Sharp is a top researcher in body image and eating disorders, with an impressive academic background spanning multiple disciplines. At Monash University, she leads a research group focused on female genital self-image and cosmetic surgery. With numerous accolades to her name, Professor Sharp is committed to breaking down social taboos and promoting body positivity. The resources mentioned in this episode are: If you are considering genital modification, do your research and choose a reputable surgeon. * Seek out a multidisciplinary team, including mental health professionals, to ensure you are making an informed decision. * Consider the functional aspects of genital modification, such as reducing discomfort during physical activity or intercourse. * Be realistic about your expectations and understand that surgery may not solve all of your concerns. * Embrace diversity in genital appearance and challenge the societal ideal of what is considered normal. * If you are experiencing body dysmorphic disorder or other psychological concerns, seek professional help before considering surgery. * Be mindful of the language used when discussing genital modification, using accurate terminology like vulvar restoration instead of vaginal beautification. * Consider non-surgical options for vaginal rejuvenation, such as laser or radiofrequency treatments. * Practice good genital hygiene and avoid harsh soaps or chemicals that may cause irritation. * Embrace your body Addressing Sexual Education Proper sexual education plays a crucial role in shaping young people's self-image and understanding of their bodies. Parents need to have ongoing conversations with their children about their bodies, instilling the idea that there is a wide variety of normal when it comes to genital appearance. By doing so, they can counteract the influence of unrealistic portrayals in social media and pornography. Dr. Stone recommends that parents maintain an open dialogue with their children and act as their first educators, rather than relying on outside sources to impart information. Dr. Hamori echoes these sentiments, emphasizing that there is no cookie-cutter normal when it comes to genital appearance and that everyone's anatomy is different. Both experts believe that fostering such understanding and openness helps promote better self-image and a healthier approach to one's own body. Navigating Social Media and Self-Image Social media's influence on self-image and body perception cannot be understated. The portrayal of beauty standards across various platforms can increase the pressure on women to look a certain way, even from a young age. Navigating these influences and promoting healthier attitudes toward body image is crucial in combating unrealistic expectations. Professor Gemma Stone highlights the role of social media in shaping perceptions of beauty, pointing out the acceleration of aesthetic development that contrasts with slower mental development. In promoting positive body image and self-confidence, Dr. Stone mentions her work with young girls and educating them about genital diversity. Both she and Dr. Hamori stress the importance of addressing societal taboos and showcasing the diversity of normal genital appearances to help those considering such procedures make informed decisions. Societal Pressures Societal pressure can significantly influence people's decisions to undergo cosmetic procedures, including labiaplasty. With increasing exposure to social media and various beauty ideals, there is a risk of young women feeling pressured to look a certain way. From grooming trends to popular clothing styles, this pressure makes female genitalia more visible, further adding to the perceived need for procedures like labiaplasty. During the conversation, Professor Gemma Stone comments on the pressure that exists due to societal norms, especially for women, and how it accelerates aesthetic development. Dr. Hamori supports this notion, stating that many of her patients are either young women who have thought about labiaplasty since adolescence or perimenopausal women reentering the dating scene. Both guests concur that media portrayals and societal expectations have a significant impact on women's self-image.

Dr. Roberto Vicinanza MD and PhD and instructional associate professor of gerontology at the USC Leonard Davis School, and a specialist in geriatric medicine, joins us for a conversation about healthy aging, including tips on how to keep the body and mind functioning for as long as possible. Quotes from this episode On the importance of setting small goals "People may have all the good intentions, but they might set up goals that are too ambitious and then when they don't reach that goal, they feel frustrated, and they quit… We have to let them understand that goals must be small…So, an apple a day. We have to eat the apple a day and be happy and recognize when we reach three or four days in a row that we are eating the apple, right? So celebrate the success even of small, very small goals." On keeping your diet simple "Diets cannot be too restrictive for a long period of time. The majority of people will give up. It is important that diet needs to be easy to follow, but at the same time needs to be healthy. When we talk about a simple diet, we are now referring on something that needs to be easy to follow, but also simple in terms of the way we make food. So we have to eat in a very simple way. So, avoiding ingredients that are maybe tasty, but not that healthy. And sometimes they also cover the, the real flavor of, of food. We have this tendency to add always sauces and creams and other things on food that actually cover the real flavor of food and also contain a lot of saturated fatty acids, heat and sodium, sometimes sugar. So, we increase these calories by adding something that we don't really need. Diet must be simple in terms of the type of diet that we have, but also in the way we cook and prepare dishes." On the benefits of the Mediterranean diet "So, the results that, that we have referred to the traditional Mediterranean diet, which is characterized by high consumptions of fruits and vegetables, cereals, legumes, extra virgin olive oil, nuts, and a moderate intake of fish, and a low intake of dairy products and meat products. So, we do have robust evidence suggesting that high adherence to these dietary patterns is linked to positive health outcomes, in particular for cardiovascular diseases, dyslipidemia and diabetes. But another important result was that the adherence to Mediterranean diet was inversely associated with a number of medications. So, patient who were more adherent to Mediterranean diet, they also used less medication. Another interesting observation that we found was related to depressive symptoms and comorbidity. When we analyze our data, we found out that the relationship between comorbidity and depressive symptom was high in older adults…In patients with higher adherence with Mediterranean diet, this correlation was weaker. When Mediterranean diet adherence declines, this relationship was stronger. So Mediterranean diet played seems to play a crucial role in mediating the relationship between the presence of comorbidity and depressive symptoms." On the importance of physical activity "Although we don't have big clinical trials on physical activity, we have small, randomized control trials showing that certain level of physical activity, may have some benefits in terms of improving the cardiovascular health and, utilization of glucose in the muscle in modulating inflammation, improved cognitive function and physical performance. Some of the benefits that we have from being active and also exercise regularly include an improvement in the cardiac output improving the health of the heart by improving cardiac contractility, oxygen uptake. And we know that we don't have to do long sessions of exercise or being extreme physically active. Already, if we walk between 45 to 75, 85 minutes a week, we can already see some benefits. Of course, the more we exercise, the more benefits we see, but at some point we reach a plateau." On sarcopenia "With the aging process, there is a decline in our muscle mass, strength and also performance. And this phenomenon is called sarcopenia. The level of physical activity, the changes in the hormones that occurs in older adults the amount of proteins that we eat when we are old all of these factors may contribute to the onset of sarcopenia, and also the progression of some sarcopenia. In terms of dietary intervention for sarcopenia, it is important in older adults to maintain an adequate protein intake. Recent studies suggest that older adults need to ingest between one to 1.2, 1.3 gram per kilogram a day of protein to sustain their muscle mass and functionality. And this amount can also be adjusted based on the body composition." On weight management "Weight management is a complex problems and obesity is a complex condition that can lead to health problems, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes ... but weight is not the only parameter that we should take into consideration when we talk about weight loss in particularly in older adults. So, it's not only important to monitor the fat content and the weight, but also evaluate the composition of the weight. There is some studies and meta-analysis conducted in older adults showing that even if the BMI is likely higher in older adults, this is not really associated with overall risk of mortality. So, on the other hand, if the BMI is low, below 22 or 23, the risk for mortality increased. Why that happened and why this has been observed, because of course, malnutrition may have some serious consequences in older adults. Weight fluctuations is another risk factor. So not only being underweight, but also this fluctuation of weight in older adults may have a negative effect. So, it's good to have a stable weight, preserve our muscle mass, do not rely only on the weight on the scale, and have an evaluation of the body composition. " On stress "Stress is an adaptive mechanism that allows the body to perform better in certain circumstances and situations, and to cope with temporary threats. However, when process become chronic these adaptive mechanisms of the body become destructive. Chronic activation of stress can alter our metabolism, can disrupt our endocrine system, including the reproduction, the reproductive system, glucose metabolism, but it can also affect our immune system and other many cell function. And all of these can accelerate the aging process. Now we also known that chronic stress may affect also our chromosomes. A large body of evidence has linked stress with shorter telomeres, and shorter telomeres are associated with cellular, aging, inflammation and chronic diseases." On healthy aging "Aging is a dynamic and complex process where biological, psychological, environmental, and behavioral factors are involved. And the complex interactions of these factors explain, at least in part why there is significant inter-individual variability in the way we age. But it also suggests that modification of some of these factors, when possible, can also slow down the aging process. I think that we cannot feel satisfied by considering healthy aging only when there is absence of disease. I think we should be a little bit more ambitious and consider aging as a physiological process that despite all the biological changes that occurred during this process, allow us to maintain an adequate physical, mental, and social wellbeing by preserving not only our basic functions, but also our functional reserve and functional capacity as long as possible. This will have a tremendous impact not only in terms of quality of life, but also or our loved ones and the community will live."

The interests of the bourgeoises (aka ruling or capitalist class) are centred on increasing profits. Proletariat: a social class comprised of workers without access to the means of production, and therefore are dependent on exchanging labour power for a wage.

In this episode, we talk to Associate Professor of Natural Resources, Dr. Ron Reuter, and two senior-level NR students, Sam Bango and Laura Mcwhorter. Ron talks about how he got started in the industry after falling in love with a soils class and the time he almost blew up a laboratory in grad school. Ultimately his path in graduate school revealed his love for Natural Resources and for teaching students. His decision to come to OSU-Cascades in 2003 follows the advice he encourages students to follow which is to, "...jump on those opportunities when they come forward...We try and second guess ourselves a lot but sometimes the opportunities come along and you take it." Ron also speaks about the differences between Natural Resources and our newer Environmental Sciences program. Sam shares how she started out traveling after high school without the intention to go back to school but started to feel the impact of human treatment on the environment which led her to want to be a part of the change. In her advice to other students still exploring, Sam states, "I don't think you're going to find your perfect career, your perfect degree, in a classroom...I think that taking time to reflect and travel or explore whatever that means to you and just take time away figuring out who you are and what makes you tick." Laura talks about her journey to Natural Resources through her fascination and endless curiosity with the natural world. Her time in Natural Resources has given her not only a strong foundation but has also kept her interested in showcasing the variety of different pathways and career options within the industry. Again, Laura talks about the importance of the advice she once received encouraging her to take as many opportunities to be out in the field and experience different options. This experiential learning emphasis is what makes both Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences at OSU-Cascades stand out!
Note: In the episode Daniel is introduced as 'Assistant Professor',this is incorrect. His official title is 'Associate Professor Dr Daniel Belavy'. We aplologise for this innacuracy. Dave and Rob are with Associate professor Daniel Belavy, one of the authors of a new paper recently published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine which addresses the ultimate question ‘What exercise should I be doing for my lower back pain?' They discuss how network metanalysis was used to compare different types of exercise and the parameters that mean this research can be effectively used to understand which type of exercise should be undertaken by those with chronic back pain. KEY TAKEAWAYS We used a methodology analysis called network metanalysis to compare different types of exercise. This research focused entirely on bringing together studies that were about exercise as a treatment for lower back pain. The mode of exercise varied from Pilates, stabilisation, to stretching and extension work. Active exercise therapies are likely to be the most beneficial for back pain Helping people to reduce their fear of movement is a big part of the journey to recovery. Building confidence is part of the process in the treatment of back pain. The analysis focused entirely on comparing active exercise treatment data in relation to chronic non-specific lower back pain. The results of the study indicate that modes of exercise such as Pilates, resistance, aerobic, and stabilisation are the best types of exercise to undertake for lower back pain. BEST MOMENTS ‘People don't realise what goes into studies of this scale' ‘There are no exercises that are harmful for the body' ‘Active exercise therapies are likely to be the most beneficial for back pain' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Back Pain Podcast Free Sciatica guide: www.thebackpainpodcast.com Link to the paper described https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2020/06/15/bjsports-2020-102024 Free to download paper http://bit.ly/BJSM-NMA ABOUT THE HOSTS Dave Elliot Dave is the owner of Advanced Chiropractic, a chain of Chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Essex, UK.
