*** A note of apology from our producers: we had very poor internet connection throughout this interview and apologise for the resulting lack of flow in conversation. We strive for the highest quality in our content, however this information is too important to not share In Episode 25 of The Road to Wisdom Podcast, Chloe and Keshia engage in a thought-provoking discussion about sunscreen, exploring its potential as both a protector and a source of harm. They are joined by Dr. Elizabeth Plourde, a Clinical Laboratory Scientist, Medical Researcher and the author of multiple books including her more recent "Sunscreens Biohazard 2: Proof of Toxicity Keeps Piling Up." Dr. Plourde challenges the conventional belief that sunscreen is a foolproof defense against skin cancers. Instead, she reveals how it can inadvertently promote them, citing the absorption of its chemicals into our bodies and their disruptive impact on our hormonal balance. The conversation extends to the environmental consequences, particularly the damage to coral reefs, which holds significance for Australians who have long followed the "slip, slop, slap" mantra. Dr. Plourde offers practical advice on safely enjoying the sun, including gradual sun exposure, the importance of a healthy diet, and the protective role of melanin.

There is a critical shortage of Clinical Laboratory Scientists across the U.S. According to today's guest, there's a nationwide gap of roughly 40% and it's creating a national healthcare crisis that the public doesn't quite grasp. On this episode we talk with Dr. Rodney Rohde, a Regents' Professor at Texas State University, and the University Distinguished Chair and Professor for Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS). Dr. Rhode helps us better understand what a Clinical Laboratory Scientist does, why they are so critical to healthcare delivery, and why it's so important to raise awareness of the profession, as well as the risks we face due to the shortage. Dr. Rohde tells us that a big part of who he is today is because he is trying to put a face on this critical function that happens entirely in the background. Dr. Rohde is not just an educator in academia. Throughout our conversation, and in everything he does, his goal is education. This is evident in each topic we discuss including: Airdropping vaccines to quell a canine rabies epidemic in Texas. Raising awareness of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Using social media to combat misinformation (and why more scientists need to do this) Beyond all of this, Dr. Rhode is a founding member of TIPS. He was with us from the start and continues to be one of our most impactful board members. We're grateful for Dr. Rohde's contribution to TIPS and are thrilled to share his story with you today.

"Brovember".  It's a thing.  And I didn't make it up. There are a lot of connotations with Brovember. One being that guys grow their facial hair to raise awareness and funds to support prostate cancer research.  And another denotes a month dedicated to "guys doing guy things like football, hunting, fishing, grilling...and doing yoga..." that's right. It should be on there! And in honor of Brovember, I am hosting a Brovember marathon this week to raise awareness of how yoga benefits fellas!! Today, I will introduce you to a few guys I have had the honor of doing yoga with and then each subsequent day this week I will include the full interview with each one as part of "The Brovember Marathon" so you get all the incredible insights they have to share from their life experiences!  4 different decades, 4 different reasons why they started doing yoga and 4 different perspectives on why they keep doing it.  Share it will all the bro's you know this Brovember!!Meet...Owen, a 40 something Computer Aided Drafting Manager, who grew up in a small town hunting, fishing, hiking and playing a lot of sports until his back issues started to slow him down.Jack, a 50 something Clinical Laboratory Scientist, who also grew up in a small town riding dirt bikes, playing sports and never heard about yoga until he was on a 100 mile bike ride with a bunch of guys after college.Jeff, a 60 something Small Business Owner, who grew up outside of Chicago and thought yoga was way too hippie dippie for him to ever try until he decided that taking his active physical regime to the next level needed to include dipping his toe in to try out something he never thought he would.Wyatt, a 20 something Yoga Instructor and co-owner of Cup & Kettle Tea Company in Bloomington, who decided to follow in his mom's footsteps and teach after a life changing experience at a meditation retreat.  He is an avid runner, baker and has traveled to other countries to teach yoga.

Meet Jack Bailey, a 50 something Clinical Laboratory Scientist and father, who grew up in a small town riding dirt bikes and playing sports.  Yoga first came on his radar when he was doing the “Hilly Hundred” bike ride in Brown County Indiana with a bunch of other guys after college. He's been practicing yoga off and on for over a decade and has been really consistent in his practice for the last few years.  When he started practicing yoga he couldn't come close to touching his toes and now he can put his whole hand under his foot with ease.  Jack sees yoga as not only a great cross training exercise for all the other activities he loves to do, but something that goes beyond the physical.  Yoga has undeniably helped him deal with the depression and anxiety that has been a part of his life journey and he tries to do at least a quick ten minute routine every day.

We have been told the sun is harmful and that we need to protect our skin from its rays. But the chemicals used in sunscreens are actually more dangerous for us than the sun; indeed sunscreen is harmful to all life on the planet. Today, we gain insights on the problems with sunscreen and what to do about it from Dr. Elizabeth Plourde, a Clinical Laboratory Scientist and the author of "Sunscreens Biohazard 2: Proof of Toxicity Keeps Piling Up." It's not the sun that causes skin cancer, Elizabeth explains, but rather the chemicals in the sunscreen that disrupt our body's balanced hormone ecosystem with carcinogenic toxins. She talks about the problem of sunscreen mixing with chlorine in swimming pools, turning them into a kind of "toxic soup". Elizabeth also explains why spray sunscreens are especially dangerous and why zinc oxide isn't a particularly good type of protection, either. But she does not leave us without hope. She offers a number of ideas for how to get a healthy amount of sun without burning. She describes how we can build up our sun exposure over time, the importance of coconut oil and a diet high in anti-oxidants and the benefits of the skin's own melanin to provide protection.

Word of the Week: "Vaccine." Interview: Anna Adams, Clinical Laboratory Scientist. Friend of the Show: Linda Gillison

On this week’s Truth to Power, we gather folks around the microphones for a community conversation about the “Forever Chemicals” in our environment known as PFAS which were made famous by the recent film “Dark Waters.” Joining hosts Justin Mog (Sustainability Now!) and Hart Hagan (The Climate Report / Let’s Talk) are three community experts. Teena Halbig, U of L B.S. and Certificate in Medical Technology, MT(ASCP), Microbiologist, Virologist, Clinical Laboratory Scientist, and U of L Researcher (retired). Sheron Lear is President and Co-founder along with Teena of the Floyds Fork Environmental Association, and she is in her 60th year working in laboratory health care and medicine. Satchel Walton, is a junior at DuPont Manual who is journalist, and author: Check out his reporting on PFAS at https://thegreenreport.org/forever-chemicals-in-louisville-drinking-water-is-it-time-for-action/ PFAS in Drinking Water will be explored at an upcoming public virtual event on Tuesday, October 20, 2020 10am-2:30pm in recognition of United Nations Day & UN Human Rights Day. Find all the details and the link to join at https://louisville.edu/sustainability/events/united-nations-day-un-human-rights-day-program-human-trafficking-forever-chemicals-pfas National legislation that is pending with respect to PFAS include: H.R.535 - PFAS Action Act of 2019 https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/535 H.R.2377 - Protect Drinking Water from PFAS Act of 2019 https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/2377 H.R.2605 - Prevent Release Of Toxics Emissions, Contamination, and Transfer Act of 2019. https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/2605 Learn more from the Environmental Working Group at http://www.ewg.org We recommend the films Dark Waters and The Devil We Know, and Rob Bilott's book, Exposure. According to the EPA: “Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of [anthropogenic] chemicals that includes PFOA, PFOS, GenX, and many other chemicals. PFAS have been manufactured and used in a variety of industries around the globe, including in the United States since the 1940s. [These] chemicals are very persistent in the environment and in the human body – meaning they don’t break down and they can accumulate over time. There is evidence that exposure to PFAS can lead to adverse human health effects. PFAS can be found in: - Food packaged in PFAS-containing materials, processed with equipment that used PFAS, or grown in PFAS-contaminated soil or water. - Commercial household products, including stain- and water-repellent fabrics, nonstick products (e.g., Teflon), polishes, waxes, paints, cleaning products, and fire-fighting foams (a major source of groundwater contamination at airports and military bases where firefighting training occurs). - Workplace, including production facilities or industries (e.g., chrome plating, electronics manufacturing or oil recovery) that use PFAS. - Drinking water, typically localized and associated with a specific facility (e.g., manufacturer, landfill, wastewater treatment plant, firefighter training facility). - Living organisms, including fish, animals and humans, where PFAS have the ability to build up and persist over time. …Although PFOA and PFOS are no longer manufactured in the U.S., they are still produced internationally and can be imported in consumer goods such as carpet, leather and apparel, textiles, paper and packaging, coatings, rubber and plastics.” Learn more at https://www.epa.gov/pfas/basic-information-pfas On Truth to Power each week, we gather Forward Radio programmers and friends to discuss the state of the world, the nation, the state, and the city!

Syrita Steib co-founded Operation Restoration (OR) in 2016 and serves as the Executive Director. OR was started to eradicate the roadblocks she faced when returning to society after incarceration. The organization specializes in creating opportunities for formerly incarcerated women through college courses, a women first clinic, clothing supply closet, case management services, advocacy programs and more. At the age of 19, Syrita was sentenced to 120 months in federal prison. After serving nearly 10 years in prison, she was released into a community vastly different than the one she left. Other formerly incarcerated women helped her to re-adjust to the world she left behind. Despite her academic accomplishments while incarcerated, Syrita was initially denied entrance at the University of New Orleans due to the criminal history question on her admissions application. Two years later, she reapplied, unchecked that box and was subsequently granted admission. Syrita went on to earn her B.S. from Louisiana State University’s Health Sciences Center in New Orleans and is a nationally certified and licensed Clinical Laboratory Scientist. In 2017, Syrita wrote and successfully passed Louisiana Act 276 which prohibits public post-secondary institutions in Louisiana from asking questions relating to criminal history for purposes of admissions, making Louisiana the first state to pass this type of legislation. In 2018, she was a co-chair for the healthy families committee for New Orleans Mayor Cantrell’s transition team. She was also a panelist on the Empowerment stage at Essence Festival in 2018 and 2019. She serves as a policy consultant for Cut50’s Dignity for Incarcerated Women campaign and worked tirelessly on the passage of the First Step Act. Ms. Steib was appointed by Governor John Bel Edwards to the Louisiana Justice Reinvestment oversight council and is the Vice-Chair of the Louisiana Task Force on Women’s Incarceration. Most recently she was nominated to be one of LISC's 2020 Rubinger Fellows. In this episode, Syrita reflects on her personal and professional journey to restoration. She shares how she has been able to show up authentically in her advocacy to dismantle systems of oppression. We are ignited by her passion, unrelenting determination and wisdom. Ms. Steib is truly a sojourner of our generation; join her in the movement.We stand in solidarity to break chains of oppression for all women and the communities they lead, as we share Forward 4O’s platform with this phenomenal WOC in the nonprofit and social enterprise sector.Stay connected with Syrita on Twitter @syritasteib and the work of Operation Restoration@TheOR_NOLAContinue to support Forward 40 on IG and Twitter @forward4tea.  Be in touch to nominate a guest to be on the show.
