This week, we hear from Cristhian González Ortiz. Cristhian is a second-year physics grad student at MSU working on the first design of a storage ring, as an upgrade to FRIB (Facility for Rare Isotope Beams). They are looking at how this addition would further enhance the capacity of FRIB to perform nuclear experiments. Listen to Cristhian's many journeys, which include moving to Michigan from Colombia, getting involved with Comunidad Latinoamericana and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, pursuing physics and mechanical engineering, and finding a good work-life balance. Cristhian and Bryan talk about social events outside of physics, hobbies, and how not all physicists are bad at sports! In this episode, Cristhian talks about his involvement with the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) and Comunidad Latinoamericana (CLA).

On this episode, something you might not be getting a lot of these days: a story to raise your spirits. The second in a special series co-produced with Watson’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS), guest host Dr. Pablo Rodriguez talks with Mohamed Malim, founder of Epimonia. Epimonia is a Minnesota-based apparel company that’s fighting to help refugees around the world: 50% of their proceeds go to charities supporting refugees, they employ recent refugees in their factory, and their products are designed to raise awareness of refugees’ stories. It’s social entrepreneurship in every sense of the word. On this episode they discuss Mohamed's story, his vision for Epimonia, and why everybody wins when refugees are allowed to thrive.(Record in March 2020.)

This is the first episode in a special series that Trending Globally will be producing this semester with Watson’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (also known as CLACS). Each episode will focus on a different aspect of society in Latin America and the Caribbean. To start: the politics of natural disasters and emergency management. Storms like Maria and Dorian have done more than cripple islands in the Caribbean; they've brought up important questions of politics, power, and social justice in the region. We're excited to welcome as a special guest host for this series Dr. Pablo Rodriguez. Dr. Rodriguez is Chair of the Women & Infants Health Care Alliance, Associate Professor at the Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown, and the former Medical Director of Planned Parenthood of Rhode Island. He’s also a radio host here in Rhode Island, and one of the most trusted voices covering politics and Latin-x issues in the state. He spoke with two experts on the Caribbean who are based here at Brown: Patsy Lewis, Professor of International and Public Affairs and Director of the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies; and Paget Henry, a sociologist and Professor at Brown.
