In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Simon Greenhill (PhD candidate at the University of California, Berkeley) and Hannah Druckenmiller (university fellow at Resources for the Future and assistant professor at the California Institute of Technology). Along with other coauthors, Greenhill and Druckenmiller recently published an article in the journal Science that uses a new machine learning model to predict which waterways are regulated under the Clean Water Act according to different definitions of what the Clean Water Act calls “waters of the United States.” Greenhill and Druckenmiller discuss the differences in regulation when considering a broader or narrower interpretation of waters of the United States, along with the implications for wetland protection, clean water, and flood mitigation.

I continue the conversation on breaking barriers with my guest Sonja Favors, an engineer and entrepreneur. Sonja talks about being true to who she is in spaces that don't always applaud her individuality. A Sonja quotable "Get to know who you are so you never show up anywhere as a representative. That You love your true self so much that you walk in your truth so that other people want to get to know you because of that truth". mypathhaspurpose.com Books about Juneteenth: for children: 1.

Dr. Charles “Chuck” Taylor, author, speaker and diversity expert is currently a professor in the school of education at a Midwestern college. Although he has written and edited over ten books, this is his first novel.

Please visit his website for additional information: http://drcharlestaylor.com/about/ Dr. Charles Taylor takes us through the controversy of the Lakeside University Cover Up, which is also the title of this new mystery thriller novel. In the book, the university students come to realize that the cross burning is more than just about racism. Its wicked flames shed light on corrupt cops, complacent college administrators and misguided attitudes that point to a major cover up. When students finally piece the puzzle together, justice is served but it comes with a steep price. Lakeside University will never be the same again. We will be talking to Dr. Charles Taylor today about using historical fact in order to increase interest in your story and much more.
