As Rotary marked World Polio Day the ‘Unscripted' podcast brings together remarkable voices united by one mission - to finally rid the world of polio. Dr Jamal Ahmed is the World Health Organization's lead on polio eradication, who provides a global overview of where we stand in 2025. Dr Ahmed outlines how surveillance networks and vaccination drives have adapted to modern challenges, including conflict zones and the movement of transient populations across borders. Adding a deeply human dimension is Emma Miller, a Rotarian from Bradford in West Yorkshire, whose family's story highlights the devastating impact of polio before the vaccine era. Her uncle, Jeff Hall, was a promising England and Birmingham City footballer who died of polio in 1959, aged just 29. Completing the line-up is Peter Teehan, who, alongside fellow pilot Ed Galkin, completed the extraordinary ‘Circle the Atlantic' flight challenge, visiting Rotary clubs across multiple countries, including England, to promote the End Polio Now campaign. --- You have been listening to 'Unscripted', the official podcast of Rotary in Great Britain & Ireland.

What are the ethical considerations when eradicating invasive species from an island? How do you develop wireless technology to monitor hundreds of traps across difficult terrain? Why do conservation projects like this cost so much more than people expect? These are some of the questions we explore in our conversation about the LIFE Raft project on Rathlin Island, Northern Ireland's only inhabited offshore island.Our guest is David Tosh, a Lecturer in Terrestrial Ecology at the School of Geography and Environmental Sciences, Ulster University. David led the ambitious effort to eradicate feral ferrets and brown rats from Rathlin to protect internationally important seabird colonies. The ferrets were introduced in the 1980s to control rabbits but instead devastated ground-nesting bird populations. David explains the complexities of targeting two species simultaneously using different methods, the development of wireless platforms to monitor traps remotely, and where the money actually goes in projects like this. Success came faster than expected, with Manx shearwaters breeding on Rathlin for the first time in decades, just months after the eradication was completed.Beyond the technical achievements, our conversation explores the social dimensions that often determine whether conservation projects succeed or fail. David shares why the most important measure of success isn't just the return of seabirds, but whether the organisations involved can maintain trust and partnership with the islanders. We discuss the frustrations of five-year funding cycles for projects that require decades of commitment, and what it takes to ensure Rathlin remains ferret-free and rat-free for generations to come.Subscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and FacebookMentioned in this episode:DisclaimerThe views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the individual participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any organisation.

We speak to Bronwyn Holm, Ginger, and Tanya about the blatant government overreach on display with the fire ant eradication program in southeast Queensland. Ginger and Tanya discuss the forced application of toxic chemicals on properties, despite no evidence of fire ant presence, leading to widespread environmental damage, pet deaths, and serious human health issues, with no evidence that the pest control program is actually working to reduce the fire ant population. They call for affidavits and evidence to challenge the program and urge collective action to protect Australia's land and food security.Links:[Book] Silent Spring by Rachel Carson - https://www.penguin.com.au/books/silent-spring-9780141184944Stop the toxic fire ant program Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/444909177952083/Fire Ant Treatment Alternatives Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558532321900

Classic Replay: Takaful—An Alternative Approach to Insurance In recognition of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, the Society of Actuaries Research Institute is re-releasing a compelling episode from the Research Insights Podcast archive: “Takaful: An Alternative Approach to Insurance.” In this conversation, Dale Hall, Managing Director of Research at the SOA Research Institute, sits down with consulting actuary and author Shariq Sikander, FSA, FPSA, CERA, to explore how Takaful—a Shari'ah-compliant, cooperative insurance model—embodies principles of ethical investing, surplus sharing, and community support. Together, they discuss how this values-based system not only aligns with cultural and religious beliefs but also promotes financial inclusion and poverty alleviation across global markets. As we reflect on the importance of economic empowerment and access to financial protection, this classic episode reminds us how innovation in insurance can help build more equitable systems—ones designed to serve, not just insure. Tune in to revisit this thought-provoking discussion and consider how alternative frameworks like Takaful might inspire the next chapter of inclusive financial solutions.

The New World Screwworm was one of the costliest and most horrific diseases that livestock producers have ever faced. Its deadliest and costliest period for Florida cattlemen peaked in 1956-1957 at which point Florida cattle producers had had enough of it. Join us this week as we look back at the grassroots effort Florida's beef producers generated which spurred into existence a multi-agency and joint governmental effort to eradicate this deadly pest from our state; a program that was widened in scope to extend across our nation and secure the safety of our nation's beef herds. It's a shining example of Florida cattlemen yet again being the tip of the spear in safeguarding American cattle ranching as we know it.

Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHWrZMmM_b_/A nanogel coupled with a cell-penetrating compound more effectively delivers antibiotics to kill bacteria that hide within bladder lining cells and perpetuate urinary tract infections.  Pharmacologists and microbiologists from the University of Colorado's Anschutz Campus report the successful development and deployment of just such a drug.The researchers combined polymeric nanogels with a peptide compound that eases their cellular entry and the antibiotic gentamicin in order to effectively kill pseudomonas bacteria that hide within bladder lining cells.  When injected into the bladder, this nanogel-peptide-antibiotic complex is able to convey 36% more of the antibiotic into the cell interior than conventional administration techniques.  When tested in animal models, it successfully eliminates more than 90% of bladder bacteria.  This technique shows great promise for more effective management of not only persistent and recurrrent bladder infections but also tenacious infections elsewhere in the urinary tract and other organs.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1549963425000127?via=ihubhttps://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/03/250312124140.htm#google_vignette#cystitis #bladder #infection #itaconate #nanogel #gentamycin
