“Cell division is fundamental to the growth of every living thing and when it goes wrong and is out of control this is the basis for all cancers and understanding this process is important,” explained Sir Paul Nurse. When it comes to understanding the fundamentals of cell division and the cancer connection, Sir Paul is a world-renowned expert and pioneer. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2001. In this podcast, he explained the ideas that sparked his ground-breaking research and how his findings gave scientists around the world the insight and tools they needed to develop advanced cancer therapeutics such as immunotherapy. Sir Paul is adept at explaining his work and the complexities of science in easy-to-understand language, combined with his keen intellect, modesty and a warm sense of humor. He's someone you will enjoy spending time with. As a young scientist, Sir Paul said he knew there would be a lot of ups and downs, and he was determined “to study something important and what is more fundamental than the process that is the basis of all growth … I didn't do this to cure cancer, but to understand the principles behind dividing cells and I thought by understanding this it would have implications for cancer and other diseases.” Sir Paul, director and chief executive of the Francis Crick Institute in London, was recently in Columbus as the recipient of the 26th Annual Herbert and Maxime Block Memorial Lectureship Award for Distinguished Achievement in Cancer. In addition to delivering a lecture, the Block Lectureship includes a mentor/mentee collaboration between Sir Paul and Li-Chun Tu, PhD, an Ohio State and OSUCCC-James assistant professor in the Department of Biological Chemistry and Pharmacology. Dr. Tu joined the second half of this podcast, and described her work in genetics. Sir Paul and Dr. Tu look forward to working together. “I truly believe he will give me such good advice,” Dr. Tu said.

In this episode, I was thrilled to welcome historian—and fellow Missourian—Kimberly Harper to the show. I am especially delighted by this episode because I get many requests to feature guests who have written history books while off of the tenure track or outside of academia, and Kim is a great example of that. I find guests for the show in a lot different ways – sometimes they are people I am a longtime fan of, other times I see books getting some press, or they pitch themselves for the show or other people suggest them. But I also scan catalogs of upcoming books to make sure I'm catching things that might otherwise get overlooked, and that's how I first learned about Kimberly Harper. I spotted her new book, Men of No Reputation: Robert Boatright, the Buckfoot Gang, and the Fleecing of Middle America in the University of Arkansas Press catalog, and got to read an early copy. I was so impressed by the research and storytelling that I knew I had to reach out right away, and lucky for us, Kim agreed to come on the show. Kimberly Harper earned a master's degree in history from the University of Arkansas, and she is an editor for the Missouri Historical Review. Her first book, White Man's Heaven: The Lynching and Expulsion of Blacks in the Southern Ozarks, 1894-1909, came out in 2010, and it received the Missouri Humanities Council's Distinguished Achievement in Literature award. Kim and I spoke about how some key mentors helped her find her way as a historian and writer, how she is learning to balance her day job, writing, and family life, and how you deal with sources for a book in which everyone is lying. Enjoy my conversation with Kimberly Harper.

Moving back and forth between New Orleans and New York as a child, Hellman witnessed the diverse cultures within her national borders. After graduating from high school, she briefly attended both Columbia University and New York University. Leaving school, she found a job at a publishing house, where she got her first glimpse of the bohemian lifestyle of the 1920s writer and artist. She married one of these young writers, Arthur Kober, and with him moved to Hollywood.By the early 1930s, Hellman had found a job as a reader for MGM. Though she found the work dull, it provided her the opportunity to meet a wider range of creative people and to become involved in the artistic and political scene of the times. An ardent leftist, Hellman organized her fellow readers into a union. It was through these political actions that she first met the writer Dashiell Hammett. By 1932 Hellman was already divorced, and her new relationship with Hammett was well under way. Though often rocky, Hellman and Hammett's relationship remained close until Hammett's death in 1961.At the prompting of Hammett, Hellman took her first leap into professional writing with a play about two teachers accused of being lesbians by a privileged student. Overwhelmed by the accusation, one teacher kills herself. “The Children's Hour,” was a gripping emotional tale about the abuse of power and its effects. The play was an enormous hit on Broadway (running for more than seven hundred performances), and brought the young playwright instant recognition. She followed it soon after with “In Days To Come” (1936) and “The Little Foxes” (1939). Throughout the 1940s and 1950s she continued to write plays and increase her political activism. Her anti-fascist works “Watch the Rhine” (1941) and “The Searching Wind” (1944) directly criticized America's failures to address and fight Hitler and Mussolini in their early years. Blacklisted in the 1950s for her leftist activism, Hellman continued to write and to speak out against the injustices around her. By the early 1960s, however, Hellman started to move away from drama and concentrated on writing her memoirs. Excited over recent student activism, Hellman began teaching. Throughout the rest of her life she would teach at a number of colleges, including both Harvard and Yale.In 1969 Hellman published AN UNFINISHED WOMAN, the first of three memoirs that dealt with her social, political, and artistic life. Followed four years later by PENTIMENTO: A BOOK OF PORTRAITS and in 1976 by SCOUNDREL TIME, these books were a moving investigation of the life of a strong, successful woman — the life of a woman who stood against an unjust government and was able to maintain her dignity and artistic vision. Though criticized for inaccuracies, these books were influential not only for their depiction of an exceptional and exciting artistic time, but for their tone, which many associated with the beginnings of the feminist movement. On June 30, 1984 Lillian Hellman died in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts at the age of seventy-nine. Among the many honors she received were two New York Drama Critics Circle Awards, a Gold Medal from the Academy of Arts and Letters for Distinguished Achievement in the Theater, and a National Book Award for AN UNFINISHED WOMAN.From https://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/lillian-hellman-about-lillian-hellman/628/. For more information about Lillian Hellman:“The scandalous Lillian Hellman”: https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2011/jan/22/lillian-hellman-childrens-hour-sarah-churchwell“Lillian Hellman, The Art of Theater No. 1”: ​​https://www.theparisreview.org/interviews/4463/the-art-of-theater-no-1-lillian-hellman“A Conversation with Lillian Hellman”: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/a-conversation-with-lillian-hellman-50202/

Joe chats with Arnie Cardillo about his journey from youth baseball to sound engineer to becoming a three-time Grammy winning producer. Arnie shares insight into what he scans for when listening to his performers, what baseball taught him about failure and why going the extra mile is part of his greater vision. Arnie and Joe talk about the great philosophers, how important it was for them to struggle with life's great questions and how they can be helpful for us in processing grief or combatting depression. Ultimately, they discuss how true collaboration helps build empathy for others, how children best learn and how creating one's vision is the ultimate thing to remain true to. With over 40 years experience in the audiobook industry, Arnie Cardillo began his career as a sound editor and engineer and later worked for Listening Library, where he was involved in all facets of the audio business. In 1997, he purchased Live Oak Media, a children's media publishing company, which he continues to manage today with his wife Debra Skiver Cardillo. As producer, he has received three ALA Odyssey Awards, three Grammy Awards, the Audie Award for Distinguished Achievement in Production, as well as numerous Audie Awards and ALA Notable Children's Recordings.

In today’s episode, Turning Points Magazine senior editor Taylor Notah speaks with playwright and graduate student Esther Almazan (Yaqui), who is in the Dramatic Writing MFA program at ASU. Graduating this Spring 2020 semester, Esther shares insight about her applied project, a play titled “Indian School” that has received the Kennedy Center Latinx Playwrighting Award, Distinguished Achievement and had a staged reading at the Institute of American Indian Arts. Esther shares the turning points in her life that led her to theatre, the beauty of seeing her playwrights go from written ideas to the performance onstage, and how “Indian School” allowed her to take control in Indigenous storytelling. “Indian School” debuts on the ASU Tempe campus February 21, 2020 - March 1 at the Nelson Fine Arts Center 133. Then, in ‘My Take,’ Nicholet Deschine Parkhurst shares her experiences that helped to shape her perspective on land acknowledgements -- the practice of recognizing the lands of territories of Indigenous peoples where we live and work.
