On this show: 0:08 – Dean Baker, senior economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, joins us to talk about the latest unemployment filing figures – 884,000 filed for U.S. unemployment benefits last week. “This is a really, really, really high number,” Baker says. Baker surmises that some of the claims include people unable to work due to family obligations, including childcare, as older children go back to school. 0:34 – New projections from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation predict 410,000 deaths in the U.S. from Covid by January 1, 2021, if “business as usual” continues — that is, people not following mask orders and continuing to travel and expose themselves outside their home. Dr. Ali Mokdad joins us — he's a professor of Health Metrics Sciences at IHME and chief strategy officer for Population Health at the University of Washington. 1:08 – We hear an update from Cal Fire on the fires tearing through the state and forcing evacuations, from Lynette Round, public information officer. 1:13 – What is the effect of a 25-day smoke event on your lungs? The longer the exposure to poor air quality, the greater the risk of negative lung effects, says Dr. John Balmes, a professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and a Professor of Environmental Health Sciences at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health. He relays that older people and people with chronic lung disease do experience death as a result of prolonged PM 2.5 pollution exposure. 1:34 – Alleen Brown is a reporter for The Intercept. Her latest story is “In California's Wine Country, Undocumented Grape Pickers Forced To Work In Fire Evacuation Zones.” 1:46 – KPFA's Chris Lee reports on young people in Portugal filing a lawsuit against dozens of European countries for violating their human rights by failing to act to stop climate change. 1:53 – Chelsea Chen is a member of Mask Oakland's organizational team. Mask Oakland is a grassroots aid initiative to give N95 respirator masks directly to Oaklanders who need them.   The post What's the effect on your lungs of 25 days of smoke? Also — Sonoma County growers are sending undocumented workers to pick grapes in evacuation zones appeared first on KPFA.

We work harder than you think, calling doesn't always look conventional, and other things your church leaders wish you knew. Throughout the past year of interviews, I asked people extra questions and this one drew the most passionate response by far: "What do you wish people knew about your job?" On this Music and the Church episode, Darrell St. Romain, Deanna Witkowski, Pr. Lisa Heffernan, Anita Smallin, J. J. Wright, Chelsea Chen, and Anny Stevens-Gleason share what they wish people knew about their ministries in the church.

This week on Science Today – we looked into how race and ethnicity affect health. Noah Zaitlen at the University of California, San Francisco, describes the connection they found in their new research. "People from different countries, from different communities, get sick from different diseases, they respond differently to different medications. We know that some of that is because of differences in their genetics and some of that is because of differences in their environment." And that includes exposure to pollution or differences in diet or stress levels – all of which doctors and scientists alike overlooked in the past in favor of genetics and ancestry. So Zaitlen hopes doctors will start including this information in their usual form, as it's a better way to assess a patient’s health. And on the subject of patients and health, wouldn’t it be wonderful if cancer patients did not suffer from the systemic toxicity of chemotherapy? We talked to a materials scientist Chelsea Chen at the Berkeley Lab who has been collaborating with a UCSF physician to design a device to do just that. "What he came up with is that he wants to place this device at the draining vein exiting the tumor, so this device can catch the excessive chemotherapy before it enters the body circulation and this way, it further reduces the systemic toxicity of the drugs. So we designed this device that we call the ChemoFilter." Hopefully this will be ready for treatment in a few years. And finally, do you snack a lot during the day? If so, your teeth are at risk. Dr. Peter Rechmann of the UCSF School of Dentistry says one tip to reduce cavities is to eat fast. "We kept on telling our patients you can have chocolate, no problem, eat the whole thing in 10 minutes and brush your teeth or use chewing gum, but don’t eat the chocolate over, piece-by-piece, ever 10 minutes a piece. That is terrible." The problem is, it leaves more sugar for bacteria in your mouth. For you snackers out there one tip is to munch on nuts – Rechmann says it’s one of the safest snacks because there’s not a lot of sugar for bacteria and it kills your hunger pangs pretty fast. So, how’s that for food for thought? To hear more University of California research stories, subscribe to Science Today on iTunes or follow us on Soundcloud or Facebook.

Over the years, cancer treatment has improved with minimally-invasive surgeries and more localized chemotherapy techniques. But even if chemotherapy can be localized and delivered directly to a tumor, over half of the drug can pass the tumor and become systemic. "It goes all over your body. The current popular drugs, they are effective, but they are also very toxic. So, they have bad side effects." That’s materials scientist Chelsea Chen of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. She collaborated with a University of California, San Francisco physician to come up with a device that can filter out the toxins. "What he came up with is that he wants to place this device at the draining vein exiting the tumor, so this device can catch the excessive chemotherapy before it enters the body circulation and this way, it further reduces the systemic toxicity of the drugs. So we designed this device that we call the ‘ChemoFilter’." Chen says it may be ready for treatment in a few years.

This week on Science Today. Did you know that nearly 40 percent of worldwide agricultural crops are destroyed by insects – in particular, fruit flies such as the spotted-wing Drosophila. These pests feed on ripening fruits, laying eggs inside berries and causing hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of agricultural damage. According to UC Riverside entomologist Anandasankar Ray, most flies go for rotting fruits that have fallen off plants. "But these flies will go after the ripening fruit. So this is of particular concern because when you have fruit or produce that is close to harvest, you really do not want to spray toxic chemicals on them." Ray describes a safe repellent they’ve developed, which successfully warded off hungry flies in the lab. Also in the lab, this one at UC Berkeley, we talk to engineer Chelsea Chen who is testing how their ChemoFilter works in a natural environment. This is a polymer membrane that can absorb excess, circulating chemotherapy drugs in one’s body after treatment. "We are trying to improve the design to mimic body environment more closely instead of just doing a simple benchtop experiment. So, we’re working on both a more real environment in vitro experiment and also the next step is the in vivo." And at UC San Francisco, doctors are seeing things in a whole new way – literally. Dr. Judy Yee describes how they’re using virtual holography to perform colonoscopies and how this technology may also be applied to other parts of the body and help surgeons prepare for procedures. "It will allow surgeons to get a sense of the size of lesions, the proximity to key structures like vessels and to potentially practice the approach to a tumor, for example." There’s just so much going on at the University of California – keep on top of all the latest discoveries and breakthroughs. Subscribe to UC Science Today on iTunes or Stitcher.

Opposites attract even in your blood stream. Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have teamed up with the University of California, San Francisco to develop a new device that soaks up excess chemotherapy drugs after treatment. The goal is to reduce the toxicity of these treatments and prevent unpleasant side effects. According to engineer Chelsea Chen, the key is electric charge. Chen, who designed the materials for the device, says since certain cancer drugs have a positive charge, she used a negatively charged material in the membrane. "One block is mechanically strong. It keeps the membrane together. It’s made of polyethylene. It’s just like garbage bags, also made of polyethylene. And the other block is the active block. It’s the drug capture block. So it contains sulfonic acid groups, and this group is negatively charged." The device is simply inserted into a vein during a chemotherapy session, then removed afterwards. Chen says the focus is to create a membrane that picks up as much of the drug as quickly as possible, so it doesn’t circulate to the rest of the body.

This week on Science Today. If you look on the back of a bottle of multivitamins, you might recognize some metal nutrients like zinc and iron. But would you recognize copper as a major contributor to human health? We speak with chemist Chris Chang of the University of California, Berkeley, who discovered that copper actually helps mice burn fat. "And so what happens is that if the mice don’t have enough copper in their fat cells, then they can’t undergo this process of fat burning, the act of breaking larger pieces of fat into smaller pieces of fat for energy." And it turns out that this lack of copper can set the stage for obesity. Our bodies require many nutrients to thrive, but other compounds might be outright harmful. Consider chemotherapy drugs, which can be toxic to the body and cause brutal side effects. That’s why researcher Chelsea Chen of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory created a small device called the ChemoFilter. This acts as chemical sponge to absorb the excess drug before it spreads to the rest of the body. "It is used to capture the chemotherapy drug, that’s past the tumor, before it enters the body’s circulation." The device can then be removed from the body after treatment. We also chat with bioinformatics scientist Jonathan Allen of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory about a new national panel that will study how microbial communities affect human health in “built environments” like an office building or even a hospital. "How can we apply the current technologies that are being used to study the microbiome in a broad array of research areas and apply them to really advance the field in building design and interactions with people?"

Chemotherapy drugs can have brutal side effects, impacting everything from digestion to the nervous system. But what if these drugs could be localized at the site of a tumor to reduce these harms? This is what researcher Chelsea Chen of the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab is working towards: new drug-capture materials that are essentially chemical sponges. The polymer devices are called ChemoFilters. "We insert this ChemoFilter through a tiny tube into the body, and the device would be placed right next to the tumor. It is used to capture the chemotherapy drug, and that’s past the tumor, before it enters the body’s circulation. That way it decreases the systemic toxicities." While the device was conceived with liver cancer in mind, Chen is working on ChemoFilters that can absorb other chemotherapy drugs as well. "The ChemoFilter will have broad use, but on the other hand, it’s not applicable to all types of cancers." To be used on humans, the device will require additional testing for federal approval.

We are pleased to be expanding what was 'My Daily Bach' into the new 'My Classical Podcast'. For this episode we feature “Adorn Yourself, O Dear Soul” Bach’s chorale prelude, BWV 654, played by Chelsea Chen at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in New York City on November 22nd, 2014, as part of WQXR’s all-day Bach Organ Marathon. This piece is a slow and beautiful chorale prelude – one of a set of 17 or 18 works that Bach wrote and presumably performed during the nine years he was court organist in Weimar. Almost 25 years later, Bach returned to these works and put them into a single collection. The chorale – the hymn tune that everything is built around – is Schmuche dich, o meine Seele – Adorn Yourself, O Dear Soul – and the melody is highly decorated, in other words, the soul, adorned.
