It's time to turn up the heat! This week on the show, host Dr. Cassandra Quave speaks with Troy Primeaux of Primo's Peppers! Troy developed the “7 Pot Primo” pepper, which arguably (and controversially) may just be the hottest pepper in the world. At an average face-melting 1.79 million Scoville heat units, one “7 Pot Primo” pepper is 360 times hotter than a Jalapeño! Troy shares his journey from the garden to creating an award-winning hot pepper sauce company and starring in the Hulu docuseries, Superhot!   #pepper #hotsauce #foodie #podcast #superhot #hulu

Food is not just something we eat to fill our stomachs; there is diversity, culture, and nutrition in every bite! This week on the show, host Dr. Cassandra Quave speaks with Dr. Anna Herforth, senior research associate at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. They discuss the importance of understanding the diversity of diets worldwide from a nutritional perspective and how different cultures' eating habits impact health. Dr. Herforth shares insights into the Global Diet Quality Project, which aims to conduct the first-ever global survey of what people eat, the challenges faced in gathering such data, and the innovative methods used to achieve it. The conversation reveals surprising findings about food diversity, the process of tailoring food surveys to different cultures, and the initiative's broader implications for nutrition and epidemiology research. They also talk about the upcoming launch of the World Food Map, a collaboration with the Periodic Table of Food Initiative, aimed at cataloguing the most common foods in every country and understanding their composition beyond traditional nutrients, emphasizing the critical role of food diversity in health.

This week on Foodie Pharmacology, host Dr. Cassandra Quave explores the importance of herbaria, focusing on their critical role in research, biodiversity conservation, and education. Dr. Quave, who became the curator of the Emory University Herbarium in 2012, discusses the challenges herbaria face, including funding and space, as illustrated by the recent closure of Duke University's herbarium. Through her experience and excerpts from relevant publications, Quave emphasizes the indispensable utility of herbaria in documenting plant species, contributing to climate change research, and supporting the discovery of new foods and medicines. She also makes a strong case for the preservation of herbaria, calling for support from the public and emphasizing the potential loss of invaluable resources for future generations if these collections continue to be undervalued and neglected. #herbaria #botany #science

In this episode of the Foodie Pharmacology podcast, hosted by Dr. Cassandra Quave in collaboration with the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, we meet Sierra Leonean Chef Fatmata Binta. From her nomadic restaurant, Dine on Mats, she advocates for plant diversity, highlighting the importance of overlooked ingredients in food and culture. She emphasizes the importance of collaboration with farmers growing ancient grains, particularly as a sustainable and nourishing food source. She focuses on the role of millet and fonio, including their agricultural benefits like making the land drought-resilient and being able to harvest in a short period, as well their nutritional value being gluten-free and high in fiber. Chef Binta stresses the importance of education about these grains, as they not only provide healthful meal options but also have the potential to address broader issues like food security and climate change. #ancientgrains #foodsystems #chef #podcast #FoodiePharmacology #foodie #millet #fonio #grain ********************************* Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/foodie-pharmacology-podcast/id1453126311 Support the show and grab some fun merch!

People have been using plants as medicine since ancient times. Now, Emory University scientists are collaborating with global communities to discover how botanical ingredients can advance human health. In this episode, Emory Alumni Board President Munir Meghjani speaks with Dr. Cassandra Quave, a medical ethnobotanist at Emory, and Cutler Cannon, a student and phytochemistry research assistant, about unlocking the power of plants to treat infectious diseases. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In today's world of synthetic pharmaceuticals, scientists and laypeople alike have lost a connection to the natural world. But in ignoring the potential of medicinal plants, we lose out on the opportunity to discover potentially life-saving medicines. In this episode, ethnobotanist Dr. Cassandra Quave discusses her groundbreaking work at Emory which backs up the argument in her new book, THE PLANT HUNTER: that the key to preventing another global health crisis could very likely be in plants and not synthetic compounds.

As a person born with multiple congenital defects of her skeletal system, Quave had to have her right leg amputated at 3 years old. She spent so much time in the hospital as a child that she ended up falling in love with medicine and grew up volunteering in the ER, when other kids her age were at football games or school dances. Since then her research has brought her to the forests of the remote Amazon, the murky swamps of southern Florida, isolated mountaintops in Albania and Kosovo, and volcanic isles of the Mediterranean, often with children in tow. THE PLANT HUNTER weaves together Quave's personal experiences with medicine, infection, disability, scientific discovery and the experience of being a woman and mother of three in a male-dominated field with a fascinating description of how plantsand microbes interact, how antibiotic resistance evolves, and how Quave is working to figure out how we may be able to overcome it by taking the focus away from synthetic compounds.      

Singer/songwriter and apartment plant enthusiast mxmtoon talks about the loss and sense of place that inspired her song "Florida" with ethnobotanist, Dr Cassandra Quave. Dr. Quave is the author of "The Plant Hunter: A Scientist's Quest For Nature's Next Best Medicines". We cover plant identification, traditional medicine and how to talk to your plants.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… you'll learn how botanical remedies treat infectious and inflammatory diseases. You'll get a fascinating look at how plants and microbes interact and how antibiotic resistance evolves. And you'll meet a leader in the field of medical botany who travels to remote locations and communities around the globe seeking out modern medicines from plants. Medicinal plants make up the primary form of medicine for 70–95 percent of people living in most developing countries. At least 4 billion people are dependent on plants for medicine.Ethnobotanist Cassandra Quave, Ph.D., is an herbarium curator and associate professor of dermatology and human health at Emory University. (She's also a writer, speaker and podcast creator/host.) She teaches courses on medicinal plants, food, and health and her Quave Research Group leads anti-infective drug discovery research initiatives. Dr. Quave's also the co-founder and CEO/CSO of PhytoTEK LLC. This drug-discovery company works to develop solutions from botanicals. In particular, they look at treatments of antibiotic-resistant infections like MRSA.Her battle with MRSA is personal. She was born with congenital skeletal deformities and had her leg amputated at age 3. She nearly died from a staph infection that infection required more amputation. Her early life and disability experiences shaped her life's work with medicinal plants.She chronicles her extraordinary life, field work and scientific discovery in her book, “The Plant Hunter: A Scientist's Quest for Nature's Next Medicines.” Plants are incredibly complex, and science has barely scratched the surface, Cassandra says. “Some of our best drugs for infection, cancer and pain were originally found in plants,” she says in her book. “Even though they may be produced in a factory setting now, the original chemical blueprints came from plants.”Cassandra studied pre-med in college with a double major in biology and anthropology. She couldn't find a connection between the two fields until she journeyed to the Amazon where she studied with a local shaman/healer who relied on plants as medicine. She realized instead of going into the practice of medicine, her true path was the discovery of new medicines from nature.WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS. CHECK THEM OUT!

In THE PLANT HUNTER, author, Dr. Cassandra Quave identifies and studies plants to treat threatening illnesses. Her groundbreaking research is helping to provide clues for the next generation of advanced medicine. Dr. Quave talks with 411 TEEN.

By mid-century, 10 million people a year are projected to die from untreatable infections. Can Cassandra, an ethnobotanist at Emory University convince Steve that herbs and ancient healing are key to our medical future? 

Cassandra Quave is an explorer and an ethnobotanist uncovering potential ways that plants can benefit human health. She has a particular interest in multi-antibiotic resistant infections. Not only do these pose a grave risk for people around the world; her professional interest is also personal. When she was three years old, she suffered a post-surgical […]

Emory University medical ethnobotanist Cassandra Quave discusses potential coronavirus cures and her new book “The Plant Hunter: A Scientist's Quest for Nature's Next Medicines.” 

In the race to develop life-saving drugs, plants might have the answers. Dr. Cassandra Quave is a medical ethnobotanist and an associate professor of dermatology and human health at Emory University. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss her work searching the globe for plant medicines that will fight superbugs and even the common headache. Her book is called “The Plant Hunter: A Scientist's Quest for Nature's Next Medicines.”

Host Jonathan Bastian talks with ethnobotanist Dr. Cassandra Quave about the amazing medicinal potential of plants and her global search for natural compounds — long known to traditional healers — that could help save us from the looming crisis of untreatable superbugs. We also hear from Dr. Marion Nestle, New York University professor emeritus of nutrition, food studies, and public health, on the health benefits — both real and fictitious — of nutritional supplements. From probiotics to vitamins, why do we take supplements without any scientific evidence that they do any good?

Cassandra Quave, an ethnobotanist at Emory University, searches for plants that may be used to treat life-threatening illnesses. Her lab has discovered compounds—found in chestnuts, blackberries, and a host of other plants—that can help treat antimicrobial resistance by stopping bacteria from communicating with each other, adhering to our tissues, or producing toxins. In her new memoir, The Plant Hunter, Quave discusses how a childhood staph infection and its lifelong complications motivated her deeply personal fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In her quest for new treatments, she has explored the rainforests of the Amazon, the mountains of Italy, Albania, and Kosovo, and the swamps of Florida.

A conversation with one of the world's leading ethnobotanists, Dr. Cassandra Quave, who has just published an engaging, candid, and action-packed memoir.

In her book, "The Plant Hunter: A Scientist's Quest for Nature's Next Medicines" (Viking), Dr. Cassandra Quave weaves together science, botany, and memoir to tell us the extraordinary story of her own journey. Traveling by canoe, ATV, mule, airboat, and on foot, she has conducted field research in the flooded forests of the remote Amazon, the murky swamps of southern Florida, the rolling hills of central Italy, isolated mountaintops in Albania and Kosovo, and volcanic isles arising out of the Mediterranean—all in search of natural compounds, long-known to traditional healers, that could help save us all from the looming crisis of untreatable superbugs.

On this week's Tech Nation, Moira speaks with Emory Professor Dr. Cassandra Quave talks about “The Plant Hunter: A Scientist's Quest for Nature's Next Medicines”. And David McNally, President and CEO of Titan Medical. Advances in Robot-assisted surgery – from a long scar to several tiny incisions, and now, perhaps, just one.

And David McNally, President and CEO of Titan Medical. Advances in Robot-assisted surgery – from a long scar to several tiny incisions, and now, perhaps, just one.

Cassandra Quave, PhD, is the herbarium curator and an associate professor of dermatology and human health at Emory University. In this episode, Dr. Quave talks about her life's work, bridging the chasm between plants and science, and her new book THE PLANT HUNTER: A Scientist's Quest for Nature's Next Medicines. She is also the co-founder and CEO/CSO of PhytoTEK LLC, a drug-discovery company dedicated to developing solutions from botanicals for the treatment of recalcitrant antibiotic-resistant infections. Dr. Quave is a fellow of the Explorers Club, a former president of the Society for Economic Botany, and a recipient of the Emory Williams Teaching Award and Charles Heiser, Jr. Mentor Award. She is the co-creator and host of the podcast Foodie Pharmacology. A leader in the field of medical botany, she has authored more than 100 scientific publications and has been featured in the New York Times Magazine and BBC Focus, as well as on PBS, NPR, and the National Geographic Channel. Ever taken an aspirin? Thank a willow tree for that. Ever received a shot of numbing medication at the dentist's office prior to a procedure? That was originally discovered in a plant too—the cocoa plant from the Andes. What about a painkiller for surgery? Morphine from opium poppy really takes the edge off the post-op pain. Plants are the basis for an array of lifesaving and health-improving medicines we all now take for granted. In her memoir, ethnobotanist Dr. Cassandra Quave shows us how important studying plants is while sharing her own incredible journey. As a person born with multiple congenital defects of her skeletal system, Quave had to get her leg amputated at a young age. While other kids in her class were at football games or school dances, Quave was volunteering her time working at the local ER. Since then, her research has brought her to the flooded forests of the remote Amazon, the murky swamps of southern Florida, isolated mountaintops in Albania and Kosovo, and volcanic isles arising out of the Mediterranean. Filled with grit, tragedy, triumph, awe, and scientific discovery, THE PLANT HUNTER illuminates how the path forward for medical discovery may be found in nature's oldest remedies.

"No matter where you go in the world, there has been a system of medicine that has been primarily based on plants. Billions rely on such a system still today." Ethnobotanist (we discover what that is!) Dr. Cassandra Quave joins the podcast. She is out with a book called The Plant Hunter: A Scientist's Quest for Nature's Next Medicines. The book explores many issues people often think about-- what is happening in the vast, dizzying world of plants, and can plants help us more-- maybe a lot more-- than they already are? Plants are the basis for an array of lifesaving and health-improving medicines we all now take for granted. Ever taken an aspirin? Thank a willow tree for that. What about life-saving medicines for malaria? Some of those are derived from cinchona and wormwood. In today's world of synthetic pharmaceuticals, scientists and laypeople alike have lost this connection to the natural world. But by ignoring the potential of medicinal plants, we are losing out on the opportunity to discover new life-saving medicines needed in the fight against the greatest medical challenge of this century: the rise of the post-antibiotic era. Antibiotic-resistant microbes plague us all. Each year, 700,000 people die due to these untreatable infections; by 2050, 10 million annual deaths are expected unless we act now. Support Talking Beats with Daniel Lelchuk. Dr. Cassandra L. Quave is a medical ethnobotanist whose work is focused on the documentation and analysis of botanical remedies used in the treatment of infectious disease.
