Episode 14: Welcome to this week's episode of Art Is... a podcast for artists where Cindy Leung, ceramic artist and Artist-in-Residence at Belger Art Center, advises young artists to put aside the ego of Instagram and feel confident in having an online portfolio to passively promote.Using Instagram as an online portfolio can be intimidating as you compare yourself to other artists. Cindy recommends reframing these negative experiences into positive ones by simply reaching out to the artist and asking how they received an opportunity. She tells us the most effective way to get what you want is to ask for it. Apart from looking for opportunities, how are young artists able to sell their work? Talking to galleries via email or in person is a thing of the past and e-commerce is leading the way in the art industry. Getting recognized and, even better, liked, is best showcased on–you guessed it–Instagram. Join Isotta on today's episode as Cindy Leung talks us through selling artwork passively and actively and how a consumer determines the value of said artwork.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, or on your favorite podcast platform.Topics Covered:Using Instagram as a tool to promote themselves but not letting it intimidate youPeer to peer resource pool to encourage artistsSellable art passively through galleries and actively through craft fairsHow to talk to galleries versus selling artwork via Instagram or EtsyValue of the artwork versus liking the artist as a personAffordable art, what is affordable art and how do we determine what that is?Guest Info:Connect with Cindy Leung on Instagram, on her website, or via email at cindy.clsy@gmail.com Follow Us:Our WebsiteInstagram | Isotta's InstagramFacebookTwitterDonate | Music by Blue Dot Sessions | Cover art by Eleonora TucciSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/art-is/donations
Show Notes:Episode 12: Welcome to this week's episode of Art Is... a podcast for artists where Cindy Leung, ceramic artist and Artist-in-Residence at Belger Art Center, details her experience with the business side of art and unpacks her creative process. Cindy Leung received a BFA from Queens College and an MFA from the University of Florida. She highlights that while she gained a lot of technical skills during her education, she noticed major gaps when it came to marketing, networking, and selling. Now, as a teacher, Cindy hopes to change that pattern and encourages emerging artists to put themselves out there and build up their businesses early on. Cindy Leung's current work explores themes of consumerism, colonization, and hybrid culture. She's working mainly with silk, tea, and porcelain to express her journey as a native Hongkonger living in the US. Cindy talks about her experience with 3D ceramic printing and gets candid about the challenges that she's faced being a beginner with that medium. Join Isotta on today's episode as Cindy Leung discusses finding the right avenues for selling her art, becoming more flexible with how she talks about her work, and the story behind what she's working on now.

Did you know that the stress and trauma from food insecurity puts children’s mental and physical health at risk? Join Food Sleuth Radio host and registered dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Cindy Leung, ScD, MPH, Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. Leung is a nutritional epidemiologist whose research focuses on diet and health disparities in vulnerable populations. She discusses the psychological distress associated with childhood food insecurity, which has risen exponentially due to COVID-19. (See: https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2020/05/06/the-covid-19-crisis-has-already-left-too-many-children-hungry-in-america/ ). She is the lead author of a paper in the March 2020 issue of the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, titled: “Understanding the Psychological Distress of Food Insecurity: A Qualitative Study of Children’s Experiences and Related Coping Strategies.” Related website: https://jandonline.org/article/S2212-2672(19)31547-3/pdf
There are nearly 40 million Americans, including 11 million children, who are food insecure. That means, they don't have reliable, consistent access to the nutritious, quality food they need to lead healthy lives. With growing pressure on the food supply chain, and tens of millions of Americans now out of work, the coronavirus pandemic could cause that 40 million to climb. Cindy Leung and Susan Aaronson, Nutritional Sciences faculty at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, talk about the ways COVID-19 is impacting those experiencing food insecurity, and how community and government organizations are adapting to serve those in need.Join the conversation with us on social media at twitter.com/umichsph and learn more about coronavirus from Michigan Public Health experts at http://myumi.ch/qgW8y

In this episode, JAND Editor-in-Chief Linda Snetselaar, PhD, RDN, LD, FAND welcomes Cindy Leung, ScD, MPH, JAND Board of Editors member and Assistant Professor in the Department of Natural Sciences in the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan, to address the challenges of food insecurity.
Cindy Leung explains the novel mechanism of stress in the relation between food insecurity and health. Food insecurity has direct negative effects on health from infancy into adulthood, most in importantly on cardiovascular health. Food insecurity is a also form of toxic stress that has negative psychological effects.

This week on Science Today. The liver is a resilient organ with the magical ability to regenerate itself, but when it’s damaged by liver cirrhosis, it can be pushed past the point of no return. Researcher Milad Rezvani of the University of California, San Francisco says that gene therapy could help restore patches of healthy tissue on a struggling liver. The successful experiments were run on a mouse model. "Right now we have shown that we can turn this one cirrhosis causing cell type into normal liver cells that function." And of course, we’d always prefer to prevent damage to our bodies before its irreparable. That’s why Dr. Cindy Leung of the University of California, San Francisco warns against giving children too much soda. She says that sugary drinks can actually accelerate aging by shortening our telomeres. These are the protective caps on our chromosomes that protect our DNA and if shortened, can lead to a range of maladies. "Drinking less sugary beverages would be one way to either halt or slow down their telomere shortening process. We need to promote other health behaviors that would help to lengthen our telomeres." We also venture into the physics realm this week with chemist Kevin Wilson of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He’s been working on predicting the size of cloud droplets. "We were absolutely thrilled to be able to, from a physical chemistry perspective and a surface chemistry perspective, provide some insight into a process that is quite important for understanding cloud droplet formation and climate change in particular."

Parents, the next time your child picks up a can of soda, tell them they're at risk of shortening their telomeres. These are the protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes and they affect how quickly our cells age. And when our telomeres are shortened, this puts us at risk of age-related maladies like heart disease, diabetes, and some types of cancer. Dr. Cindy Leung of the University of California, San Francisco, says that while their study surveyed healthy adults, it's also possible that soda consumption is associated with telomere shortening in kids. "We know that childhood is a really critical window for our telomeres to develop. If we're marketing sugary beverages to children and they're drinking them at such high levels, it could really put them on this accelerated aging trajectory before they even hit adolescence." The good news - Leung says that telomere shortening is reversible. "Drinking less sugary beverages would be one way to either halt or slow down their telomere shortening process. We should promote other health behaviors that would help to lengthen our telomeres."
