A horrific murder of an American teenager by two other American teenagers in 1985 led to some serious soul-searching:  How could the international community in Taiwan (some of whom don't speak Chinese well enough to get help from local sources) aid those going through mental health crises, are in need of counseling, or simply need better ways to gather and bond?  The answer became the Community Services Center, a place where, for almost 40 years now, people help each other, organize public service activities, take language, weaving, or you-name-it classes, and much more. Adam McMillan (stepping down soon after 11 years as director) has some stories to tell.   Pics, info, and more at formosafiles.com

A hiring controversy at the University of Minnesota is getting widespread attention in the academic world. A group of professors at the University of Minnesota are calling on the administration to follow through on a job offer to a scholar whose hiring it recently froze. Raz Segal is an Israeli historian who was offered a position at the helm of the U of M's Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies. But because of an article he'd written where he called Israel's siege of Gaza a genocide, two board members of the center resigned, and The Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas protested the choice along with other Jewish community members. They argue that Segal's views are extreme and that he had justified Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel.In an interview with MPR News, Segal, who is Jewish himself, said that is not true, “I have said exactly the opposite. I've described the Hamas-led attack on Israel as a case of mass murder, as war crimes, as crimes against humanity. I've been very clear on this for months and months on end.”The U said in a statement that it is considering the views of those who objected to Segal's appointment. For his part, Segal said he's still interested in the position if the University decides to “unpause.”Hundreds of professors have signed a letter condemning the university's decision. And the University of Minnesota's chapter of the American Association of University chapters sent a letter to the administration asking it to do just that. Sumanth Gopinath is president of the chapter and an associate professor of music theory. He joined MPR News guest host Nina Moini.

Last Sunday, a man reached out to the Real Men Feel page on Facebook and said - I would like to appear on your show and debate "cultural appropriation in MKP." That man, B Crittenden Freeman, is my guest today. Crittenden has been a member of the ManKind Project for 30 years holding multiple positions, Center Director, Elder, Leader In Training, and Recording Secretary for the MKP USA Board. He was responsible for the occurrence of the 1st NWTA Urban Adventure.  Initially, I thought this subject had been played out. I've done two shows about it, but they were me alone, and I did ask for people to step forward and discuss this with me. So, here we are. I don't think we are on opposite sides of any issue for a brawling debate, but let's find out. To follow our conversation, you'll need to know a few acronyms; MKP is the ManKind Project, NWTA is their New Warrior Training Adventure weekend, and LKS is the Lodge Keepers Society, the group within MKP responsible for building and running sweat lodges.

Our guest today is Dr. Ed Weiler, a retired NASA scientist who spent 20 years as the chief scientist for the Hubble Space Telescope, the forerunner of the James Webb. During his 33-year NASA career, Ed wore many hats, including Associate Administrator of the Science Mission Directorate; Center Director of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Associate Administrator for NASA's Space Science Enterprise, chief of the Ultraviolet/Visible and Gravitational Astrophysics Division and director of the Astronomical Search for Origins Program. In today's episode, we talk to Ed about: -- NASA's accomplishments in the past year, including the Perseverance mission, the success of the James Webb telescope, and the launch of Artemis-1. -- Ed's experience as the Chief Scientist for the Hubble Space Telescope during its early development. -- Ed's time as the director of NASA's Astronomical Search for Origins program. -- Ed's role in the development of the New Horizons space craft and its mission to fly by and study Pluto and it's moons. -- Ed's belief that in the next 20 to 50 years, we will be able to the prove the existence of other life in the universe.

[00:16:48] Ken asks about Ed's experience as the Chief Scientist for the Hubble Space Telescope during its early development. [00:25:01] Dawn points out that after graduating from Northwestern University, Ed joined the research staff at Princeton while also working at the Goddard Space Flight Center. In 1978, Ed became a staff scientist at NASA headquarters and Dawn asks how that position came about. [00:29:45] Dawn mentions that Ed was also the director of NASA's Astronomical Search for Origins program and asks Ed to talk about that experience.
