Podcast appearances and mentions of erin williams

Guest: Erin Williams, PCA US Counselor, Plano campus   If you'd like to watch this podcast, check out the PCA YouTube page.   This is a continuation of our powerful discussion on the book Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up, which is the 2024 book from Abigail Shrier and came as a result of her revealing book a few years before that called Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters (2021) in which Shrier discovered how damaging and controlling public school counselors could be on this gender ideology. If you didn't listen to the first week, I would strongly recommend that you go back and listen or watch that episode.   Just to reiterate a point that we both made in the podcast, this examination of Bad Therapy is NOT a recommendation in favor of reading the book or an endorsement of everything that is written in this book. Shrier is not writing from a Biblical worldview, however both Erin Williams and I share much of her concern with the new “therapeutic-infused parenting” that is so popular today and her concerns over what Shrier calls “bad” therapy. There is good, solid, helpful therapy that is happening, but Shrier's call to parents is to pay attention to the therapy that their children are receiving and be discerning as to the wisdom that is being offered to your children. YOU are the parents and, as such, are God's ordained stewards of your children…not the therapist, not the school, not the government.

Guest: Erin Williams, LPC, PCA US Counselor, Plano campus   If you'd like to watch this podcast, check out the PCA YouTube page.   This is week two of a great conversation with Erin Williams about the book Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic - and What We Can Do About It by Jennifer Breheny Wallace. This book is a New York Times bestseller, but remember that it is written from the perspective of someone without a Biblical worldview. Wallace does raise some very profound and provocative questions that need to be answered, especially when the research says that 1 in 3 students may be impacted by what Wallace calls the “excessive pressure to achieve.”   Praying that you find this conversation insightful and practical. It is broken down into two episodes - the first episode was released last week.

What started as something he only intended to make for friends and family quickly grew into something more. Seth knew this would be his fulltime job and career. His sister-in-law, Erin, stepped in offering to make it in her home and to help sell it. As the business grew, Seth and Erin decided to go all-in. Together they put up Topanga Scents. Erin knew that the Direct Sales business model was a way to provide a financial opportunity to others. Direct Selling was a way she could incorporate her love for helping and serving others with helping a lot of individuals in different seasons of their lives. The company is currently located on their family land, with new land purchased and two new warehouses in the planning phases.

In this episode I speak with Erin Williams, CEO of Melbourne-Los Angeles based PR agency, Modern Day Communications. Erin is also the Founder and Editor-In-Chief of two magazines - Modern Day Living (IG @moderndaylivingmagazine) that provides inspiring and relatable content for mothers & Influenced (@influenced_magazine), the world's first influencer magazine.  Erin's earliest career started when she convinced her father to open a family daycare business from their home for 6 ½ years where it grew to be the most booked out daycare in their area. During that time Erin began her Modern Day Living magazine. She wanted to provide something cool for all the amazing mothers she'd met that wasn't baby-focused or filled with high-end fashion. She has a strong focus on working mums, lifestyle, wellness, inspiration and balance.  From there Erin started her PR agency. After her magazine's 3rd issue (where she landed @officialmelb on the cover) she took a leap of faith and went over to LA to expand it and create more growth. It paid off.  They're heading into their 9th issue. In 2020 when COVID hit, Erin decided to create a second publication - “Influenced” magazine, which focuses on digital creators, influencers, beauty, lifestyle and all things social media.  When the world moved into the second year of COVID, and with some media having died down a bit, Erin decided to create a monthly beauty and wellness subscription box called Bloom Beauty Box (IG @bloombeautybox__). That way they could still manage to get her clients brands out there into people's hands and still gain exposure whilst also making sure they had backup, in case business had to change.  Both of Erin's magazines are now sold in 12 countries and her PR agency is growing daily with a recent slew of newly-signed LA clients.  Erin talks about the immense opportunities that are out there for brands and small businesses - including growing your own business with her.  www.moderndaycommunications.com Instagram accounts: @moderndaycommunications, @themoderndaylivingmagazine @erin_kwilliams @influenced_magazine @mdccreative__

20% of sports fans believe that anti-LGBTQ+ language is harmless if it's just meant as "banter".

To continue our discussion about Getting Help for Young Children, we brought in Erin Williams-Stroh to talk about how it looks as the child grows. Erin is a super passionate Self Contained Autism Teacher for 2-5th grade students in PWCS. She has a Bachelors in Multidisciplinary Studies (Elementary Ed.)  and a Masters in Special Education from Marymount University. We talk about how early intervention positively impacts children as they grow and about parent and family support for the child. We discuss how the teacher sets up the culture of acceptance in the classroom and peer acceptance plays a huge role in  a child's success. We talk about diagnosis, IEPs, and integration and inclusion and what these look like in classrooms.Since Erin's specialty is Autism, we talk about its prevalence and the vastness of the spectrum. We even play a game to see how almost everyone falls on the spectrum in some way or another! Erin also gave us her top favorite books for read-a-louds and discussions with children:“Nathan's Autism Spectrum Superpowers” by Lori Leigh Yarborough“All My Stripes” by Shaina Rudolph and Danielle Royer“My Brother Charlie” by Holly Robinson Peete “Uniquely Wired: A Story About Autism and Its Gifts” by Julia Cook“The Girl Who Thought in Pictures: The Story of Dr. Temple Grandin”“Ethan's Story; My Life With Autism” “Different Like Me: My Book of Autism Heroes” “I See Things Differently: A First Look at Autism “While your at it, go buy a fun pair of socks from John's Crazy SocksThank you for listening and thank you for being a part of our growing community!"Wholesome" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/speckeledbees)

Dr. Nathan Pennell, Dr. Muhammed Beg and Ms. Erin Williams discuss improving the time-to-activation of new clinical trials at an NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. Read the article: https://ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.1200/OP.19.00325   TRANSCRIPT [PIANO MUSIC PLAYING] DR. PENNELL: Welcome to the latest Journal of Oncology Practice podcast brought to you by the ASCO Podcast Network, a collection of nine programs covering a range of educational and scientific content and offering enriching insight into the world of cancer care. You can find all recordings, including this one, at podcast.asco.org. My name is Dr. Nate Pennell, medical oncologist at the Cleveland Clinic and consultant editor for the JOP. Today, I'd like to talk about clinical trials, specifically the complex process that goes into opening a clinical trial and the surprising amount of time and individual steps that go into what might otherwise seem like a straightforward process. And while we all agree that trials are critically important for patient care and making scientific advances, as a clinical investigator, I can tell you that they can be quite a challenge to open and sometimes take a surprising amount of time and resources, which can be frustrating. With me today to discuss this topic are Dr. Shaalan Beg, associate professor of medicine in the division of hematology and oncology at the University of Texas Southwestern Cancer Center, and Ms. Erin Williams, associate director of clinical research operations at the Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center. We'll be discussing their paper, "Improving the Time to Activation of New Clinical Trials at an NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center," to be published in the November 2019 JOP. Welcome, Shaalan and Erin, and thank you for joining me on the podcast. DR. BEG: Thanks for having us. DR. PENNELL: So can we start off by talking a little bit about what's involved in the clinical trial opening process and why this ends up being such an important issue that leads to projects, like what you describe in your paper? DR. BEG: Yes. It's a pretty complicated process. And I think I say it a lot, like, how a bill becomes a law. So how does a trial protocol become an open clinical trial available to our patients? So when you have a document which embodies the principles for the clinical trial or the clinical trial protocol, you have a consent form that will be a patient-facing document that the patient sees, which summarizes, in layperson's terms, what the procedures will be for the study. And then these documents have to go through multiple steps of approval within individual institutions. For example, the institution review board will look at the document in terms of risk management or risk assessment for the institution. Scientific committee will review the scientific integrity and see whether it suits the patients that that specific center is taking care of. And then, in parallel, you have a group of experts who want to see if that trial is something which they can feasibly execute. So hypothetically speaking, if a trial needs treadmill tests, do we have a treadmill to actually do that? So really the rudimentary, sometimes, feasibility questions. And then, as the studies are becoming more complicated, some of these studies have biomarkers which we want to identify patients for, and we need to test patients before we can find the right patients for the clinical trial. So that entire process is becoming more and more complicated. DR. PENNELL: That all sounds like it makes perfect sense, but I know a lot of our listeners might be surprised to learn that this entire process from beginning to end can take a long time-- sometimes six months or longer. What are the consequences to an institution of taking a long time to activate a trial? MS. WILLIAMS: So this is Erin. Well, the consequences can mean our access to clinical trials, right? So it can also mean access for patients to the clinical trials. So both of those things. If we take too long to open the study and a lot of other centers around the country or around the world have a study open-- and specifically, there are a lot of trials that are open internationally, and sometimes it's easier to open trials internationally more quickly-- then our patients lose access to those trials as the spots for enrollment fill up and the study goes closer and closer to its enrollment target. But in addition, sponsors, industry sponsors, pharmaceutical companies that are bringing trials to their cooperative groups in which we participate-- these are NCI-funded large-cluster groups for phase III clinical trials, we participate with those as well-- they're looking at how long it takes us, as an institution, to activate a new study. And if we start to take longer than most other institutions, they may not favor us for a particular trial to offer that trial to us. DR. PENNELL: This is such an important process, and I think this is really going to resonate with lots of people who work at centers that open clinical trials. So why don't you take us through the process? So what exactly did you do there? MS. WILLIAMS: So this is Erin again. We convened a group of stakeholders, along with a leader from our institution's Lean Six Sigma program, to really map out the process. So we convene about four or five hours of a day for everyone to come in. And it didn't just include cancer center stakeholders, but it included stakeholders from our sponsored programs administration office at the institution, our institutional review board, human research protections office, our hospital review committee. We really wanted to gather together all those people who touch the process in some way throughout the course of the time to activation. And so really with Patrice's help, who is our Lean Six Sigma expert, she really kind of started the process out, and we did kind of what your traditional Lean Six Sigma mapping might look like-- use sticky notes and words on sticky notes, mapping out the process on the long board, and then ultimately creating what the map looks like. And I think what it did was allowed everyone who was in the room to really take a look at the process and how sequential everything came out to look. One of the biggest impacts that we identified and that we highlighted in the paper is what you really saw was this gap between our scientific review committee submission and the IRB review, and then everything else in the process, because a lot of steps hung on IRB approval and didn't want to move forward, including hospital review, contract execution, things like that, until the IRB had given their stamp of approval, which of course is the review board for patient safety. So what we tried to do is, immediately, you could kind of see this visible gap in-between the steps, and that really showed us that potentially aligning that scientific committee review with the IRB review and allowing that IRB approval to happen more quickly might trigger some of the other steps. DR. PENNELL: One of the things that I found really interesting when you were talking about the various steps in the process was when you chose to start the clock, because I know that there is a lot of attention paid to how long it takes to open trials. And, you know, in my experience, I have heard that there are institutions that somewhat game their numbers by not starting their clock to opening until they've actually gotten a lot of steps already done before they do, say, a regulatory submission. And then it looks as though they're opening the trials quite quickly, but they may have already had the protocol for many months ahead of time, working on things ahead of this. And you guys chose to start from the time you actually receive the regulatory packet and the protocol to start, which makes sense. I mean, that's really when, I think, you, as an investigator, would think the clock would start. But did you ever get any pushback from your leadership or others to starting that early? DR. BEG: No. I think it's a matter of being consistent with how we report our numbers. Similar to you, we are an NCI-designated center. We report these to our advisory boards and to the NCI in regular intervals. I think whenever we're measuring numbers and we set metrics for any target, we run the risk of people trying to cut corners and gaming the system to make the number look good. I think that's pretty well-documented in any industry. And our time-to-trial activation has become this shared quality metric across the cancer center, across the institution. And we were worried that it may start being that way, that folks are trying to, "well, should we take out the weekends, those aren't really work days, or how about the time the sponsor has the packet, or--," you know? And I think, as humans, we all have tendencies to try and come up with ways to make our numbers look better. But the advantage of publishing this to a journal like the JOP with transparency on how we're measuring it, and, you know, I think we had faith that our audience would recognize when our time is-- when our time clock is starting. And there wasn't any pushback. MS. WILLIAMS: I'll just add to that. The reason why I think it's so important to be transparent with these numbers is because-- being in an administrative role and an operational in a clinical research office for a long time, investigators who are bringing a trial forward for us to activate, the calendar has started as soon as they bring me a trial that they want to open. And if I tell them that a study only took 60 days to open, and their recollection is nothing near what I'm telling them my metric is, then they're not really going to trust what I'm telling them overall. And I think it's important that I recognize, and that we recognize as an operation, that what really matters is that once we get the study, we're starting the process. It just makes the numbers more useful to you, internally. It makes it more useful to the outside companies or organizations that you're working with. And, you know, even the non-value added time that's not in your control can sometimes-- you can intervene in that. You could potentially escalate things if you haven't heard from a company in a certain period of time. So I completely agree. That makes perfect sense. DR. PENNELL: So, well, why don't we dig into your results? So what did you find through the mapping process? DR. BEG: I think one of the issues was how we can move some of the steps that happened in parallel or that happened sequentially to try and make them work in parallel. And like Erin mentioned earlier, just mapping out the process and having the different offices represented on campus that are a couple blocks away from each other really think about how they-- when they start their clocks and why they wait for specific milestones to start a review process was very helpful. So one of the steps was to really move from a sequential process of scientific review followed by an institution review board review into a process where we move that in parallel to each other. And different centers have grappled with this question in different ways. The way we decided to address this, we didn't want the IRB to be bogged down by a study that wasn't scientifically valid, that may have concerns, or is not novel enough. But we have internal data that our scientific review committee-- and this is published data-- that our scientific review committee very rarely changes the design or the structure of an industry-sponsored clinical trial, for example. So we decided that we would come up with a process where the IRB will physically review the study at a time after the scientific committee has reviewed the study. If the study is disproved, then it falls off the IRB's docket. But if it's approved, then they will be ready to review it. And we were able to shrink that time from scientific review to IRB quite significantly by modifying that process. We talked about institutional studies, so studies that our own investigators are developing. Those studies do tend to get more criticism at the scientific review committee. Our committees review them much more closely and have much more impact on those. And we decided to move them forward on a case-by-case basis. So it really required some restructuring. MS. WILLIAMS: One of the other things that we outlined in the paper, one of the other outcomes, was that our hospital review committee agreed to review the study in parallel with the IRB and in the PRMC review process and just hold their approval until those approvals had been received. And that happened. And if you looked at the individual time to getting that hospital review committee approval immediately following the intervention, it went down significantly. As with anything, it takes consent kind of massaging and working with those groups. And some of the offices and the infrastructure around clinical trial changed subsequent after we had our time to activation. And so with any of that change, processes start over, people start looking at things over again, and they decide, well, wait, why are we reviewing this in parallel? Or these other groups of people need to be reviewing this in more detail. Having said that, as those processes have changed, what we've heard and what we've experienced with those stakeholders in the institution is that their eye is always on the activation timeline. And that if we report to them, hey, this time to review committee approval has kind of gone back up, it's creeped back, and we really need to look at this again, you can see their immediate response is, oh, absolutely, we understand, these are kind of some shifts that we made, but let's get together, let's look at it, we really are hoping to push it back down. DR. PENNELL: Well, I think that's a great point to point out, that this is not a one-time thing. And whatever changes you institute, you can't just do it once and then expect it to be a permanent change if you don't follow up and ensure that it's still working. DR. BEG: One of the other things which came up when we were looking at our numbers was to figure out how to staff different positions. And there are some steps of the activation process that are very nuanced, really require special expertise. And an example for that is the coverage analysis evaluation, where a third party independent of the investigator's team decides whether every procedure or blood test or scan gets billed to insurance or is that something that gets billed to the study. So is it a research procedure or is it a standard of care procedure? And in oncology, where philosophically we view research as embedded within standard of care, that can be a pretty tricky determination to make. So the people who do this come in with a really unique set of expertise from their clinical-- that have clinical expertise and research expertise. And one of the things we noticed was for positions like those and for positions other than that, it's really important to have redundancies in those positions, so if there is staff turnover of any kind, that that process can keep moving forward. Because those are steps that-- it's hard for a consultant to come in and fill in and those people don't really just hang out on campus for us to be able to tap their time and to start processing those studies. So other than looking at our processes, it did come down to staffing those positions and making sure that we create some redundancies in those positions so that we're not completely dependent on, for example, one person for a task like that. DR. PENNELL: And that is such an obvious issue that I think maybe a lot of people may be shocked to hear that institution's administrations don't always agree that you need more than one person to do a task. But again, this is really resonating with me personally, because we went through this same issue. And there are so many important things that for some reason there's always just one person who can do it. And if they're out for whatever reason, or they leave and there's staff turnover, things just grind completely to a halt. And so I think that that's a wonderful illustration that hopefully will be convincing. Did all of this work end up making a difference in your time to opening trials? MS. WILLIAMS: It is making a difference. We are seeing improvements in certain steps of the process. We've definitely seen an improvement in our time to both scientific committee review approval, our time to IRB approval. Our coverage analysis timeline has been very steady. Our time to activation for our national cooperative group studies has been very stable at around 90 to 100 days, since instituting just kind of these simple-- well, not so simple-- but since instituting this whole process. Where we still have challenges is in our budgeting and contracting process. However, again, since we've got that institutional buy-in, it was actually our sponsored programs administration office contract director who approached me about two or three months ago and said, you know what, we really need to talk about the workflows between covered analysis, budget negotiation, and contract, because I see things kind of being an issue for us, as far as getting expedited approval and execution of contracts. So we had another about 2 and 1/2 hour meeting just about a month ago to sit down and go through that workflow and identified, again, a couple of key places where we can bring previously sequential steps into a parallel-step process. And so once again, I think the take-home of the exercise that we performed is that we have institutional stakeholders who aren't necessarily just waiting to hear from us to figure out how we can do better, but are coming to us and identifying timelines and being able to work together to continue to make those happen. DR. PENNELL: And it sounds like this has worked very well for your institution. But you point out in your manuscript that a lot of the processes are so unique to individual institutions that it's hard to make blanket recommendations that apply everywhere. So what can other sites who are also worried about their time to activation take from your process? DR. BEG: I think one message is to know what your internal process is. And I think a lot of folks who are listening to this podcast will admit that at their centers there's no one document that really maps out the entire process. So for us, the process of mapping out the trial activation process was probably the most transformative bit, the rest sort of just fell into place. DR.

After discussing the Subway Book Review project in our Episode 22, Uli Beutter Cohen and I discussed five books that Uli has recently read and recommends: How to Write an Autobiographical Novel by Alexander Chee, an essay collection by a Korean American artist and activist; The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls by Mona Eltahawy, which has been referred to as a striking anti-patriarchal manifesto written by an Egyptian American activist, “with enough rage to fuel a rocket”; On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong Ocean is a young Vietnamese-American writer — born in Saigon, he was raised in Hartford, Connecticut and his book is semi-autobiographical and speaks to his experiences as an immigrant and a gay man; COMMUTE - An Illustrated Memoir of Female Shame by author and illustrator Erin Williams, which has been referred to as intimate, clever, and ultimately gut-wrenching graphic memoir about the daily decision women must make between being sexualized or being invisible; and How to Start a Revolution, by Lauren Duca. To compliment Chee’s work, Uli also mentioned and discussed Bird by Bird: Instructions on Writing and Life, Anne Lamott; and Devotion: Why I Write, Patti Smith

Erin Williams at the time of recording was getting fit for a half marathon, and was in the thick of her graduate program at Harvard in Boston, and was a busy mom to her children Grace and Ben.

About Erin:Erin Williams was born and raised in the village of Memphis, NE population 115. She spent the first three years of her education in a two-room schoolhouse and realizes that that makes her sound way older than she is. After college at Drake University, Erin found herself in the sunny city of Los Angeles, where she pursued acting initially and then found herself drawn to the siren call of the wine industry. She's now been selling wine for ten years working as a distributor and winery sales manager for J. Lohr Winery and completed her Wine and Spirit Education Trust Diploma of Wine in 2014. Erin currently resides in Denver, Colorado where she reps a full book ranging from $6 South American wine to $1,000 dollar bottles of Burgundy. She recently got her first dog and feels like it is as good as everyone said it would be.Website: rndc-usa.com  

Mama identity crisis? Join the club. After stepping into the all-consuming role of mom, how the heck do we reclaim our sense of self outside of motherhood? Writer, illustrator, and cancer research specialist ERIN WILLIAMS shares the deeply personal solutions that are working for her, especially how she's embracing 'good enough' when it comes to being mom. In addition to writing raw, complex personal essays, and conveying the messiness of motherhood in her artwork, and caring for her two year-old Lucy, Erin Williams is an oncology research specialist. And while that admirable job title would make a lot of us need a drink (or 3), Erin shares what it’s like being a sober mom and having to learn to cope with feeling everything. Sensitive mamas out there, this one is especially for you. And if you listened to last week’s episode with Jordan Reid, Erin’s co-author of "The Big Fat Activity Book for Pregnant People” (Penguin Random House), you WILL NOT BELIEVE Erin’s side of their ‘meet-cute’ friend story. As much as I want to spill the beans, you’ll have to hear it from her. I’ll just say: sometimes the most supportive people in our lives show up in the most unexpected ways. xo Ellie Knaus Reach out on instagram/twitter: @atomicmoms and Facebook (search: atomic moms) show notes: atomicmoms.com Read Erin’s blog: www.goosecamp.co/ Take a peek at all the awesomeness available for sale at Erin and Jordan's online shop: www.glamcamp.co Check out where Erin is a cancer research specialist: https://www.flatiron.com/

Jordan Reid hustles like a mother-lover: raising two young children, writing books, and running the uber popular RamShackleglam.com, where she shares funny parenting moments, DIY videos, and refreshingly honest details about her family life. But before all that cool stuff started, Jordan endured what Ellie would describe as a Joseph Campbell-esque “dark night of the soul” or what Jordan calls a “truly spectacular career implosion!” (HINT: you’ll never ever look at one particular insanely popular tv show the same way ever again). From that experience, she discovered the magic of reinvention and promises us, “If you put in the work, and you do the things you say you’re gonna do, your past experiences all make sense.” Of course, transitions are a b*tch, and her life as an accomplished author and popular website founder isn’t always an Instagram-worthy bed of roses. (Isn’t it a GD relief to hear that?!) Jordan gives us a heart-to-heart about the negative online commenters she’s had to handle in the past and tips for how to rise above the haters (real or imagined). We also laugh about her brand new book “The Big Fat Activity Book for Pregnant People”, co-authored by her gal pal Erin Williams, and published by Penguin Random House. If you overhear me giggling in my OBGYN waiting room, it’s cause I’m doing the book’s “Bad Baby Names” word search. xx Ellie Knaus atomicmoms.com Subscribe and write a review on iTunes.com/AtomicMoms so new moms can find us!

Dr. Erin Williams-Hatala   In this episode the Knowbodies were extremely excited to learn from Dr. Hatala about the Human hand, her involvement as a researcher and her captivating perspective on the evolution of human behavior that has molded the adaptations our hands poses today. In this podcast you we explore the following topics: The curious transition into a career in Hominid Paleobiology (and how easily that title rolls off Dr. Hatala’s tongue) The fascinating theories of human evolution and the impact our ancestor’s behavior had on forging the bodies we have now What does the original and current research suggest our hands are intended for? We discuss theories supporting the importance of our hands and the anatomical significance of how different wed be without them How do male crabs impress the ladies? Is there potential for the hand to continue to evolve given our modernized lifestyles Why cant a chimp win the prize at a carnival ball toss? Can chimps throw better or worse then humans?   Dr. Hatala’s BIOGRAPHY I was born in Ann Arbor, MI and lived there through high school. I moved to Grinnell, IA to attend Grinnell College where I studied Anthropology and Archaeology. In 2005 I joined the Hominid Paleobiology Doctoral Program in The George Washington University’s Center for the Advanced Study of Hominid Paleobiology, in Washington, DC. I received a Masters in Anthropology in 2007, a MPhil in Hominid Paleobiology in 2009, and a PhD in the same discipline in 2011. My dissertation and research as a NSF and L’Oreal USA for Women in Science postdoctoral fellow focused on human functional anatomy, the influence of biomechanical regiments on the evolution of human upper limb anatomy, and the biomechanics of making and using Paleolithic tools. I am very excited about beginning a new phase of research with a group of international collaborators, investigating the anatomy, functional anatomy, and biomechanics of (mainly tool-using) non-human primates.   Publications Williams-Hatala, EM; Hatala, KG, Hiles, S, Rabey, KN. “A lack of correspondence between entheseal morphology and muscle architecture in the modern human hand.

British Pony Team 2013

British Pony Team 2013

Phoebe Peters and SL Lucci have made history, claiming individual and freestyle golds at the Pony European Dressage Championships in Arezzo, Italy. After spearheading Great Britain’s team bronze success, Phoebe (pictured) became the first British under-21 ever to win an individual medal, taking gold for her performance in Saturday’s Individual Championship. Phoebe and Lucci scored 79.04% ahead of Germany’s Semmieke Rothenberger and Deinhard B who scored 78.46% and the Netherlands’ Lisanne Zoutendijk on Champ of Class in bronze with 77.31%. Before the final competitors had ridden, Phoebe posted on Facebook: “Me and Lucci just scored 79% in the individual test!!! This is a personal best and has taken us into the lead! Can't believe how amazing Lucci was, he is unreal.” Phoebe, trained by Peter Storr and who rides with a maturity that belies her 14 years, has, in recent months, become to talk of international pony dressage with her mother Tracy’s pony SL Lucci, an 11-year-old Danish brown gelding by Lukas. Phoebe and Lucci appear to be made for each other, her text-book position and poise maintaining the powerful pony in an uphill, exemplary frame throughout their work. The superbly matched pair were favourites going into Sunday’s freestyle and once again cool-headed Phoebe, who thrives on the pressure of the big occasion, inspired Lucci to use every inch of his athletic frame. Their music, from the films Johnny English and Kung Fu Panda, gave a humorous touch to a seriously good freestyle. Serious enough for a pony freestyle record of 84% and another gold medal! This time, the German and Dutch challengers were reversed with Zoutendijk in silver with 80.77% and Rothenberger a whisker behind in bronze with 80.62%. Once again posting on Facebook, as the significance her achievement was sinking in, a thrilled Phoebe said: “Lucci has just set off on his way home - returning to England as European champion!! Today we won our second gold medal, this time in the freestyle scoring a new world record of 84%! Would like to thank EVERYONE for their support, help and time it has been the most unbelievable week! X” Phoebe's success is a great example of Olympic legacy in motion; she, like so many, was inspired by the performances last year by our riders which made her more determined and focused than ever to succeed. Phoebe’s team compatriots also fared well in the individual stages of the competition with strong placings amongst Europe’s elite. Erin Williams and Dynasty, her mother Claire’s nine-year-old palomino daughter of Deinhard B were placed 71.8% for 11th in the individual test qualifying them for the freestyle where they posted an impressive 74.75% for sixth spot. Rose Hugh-Smith and Holstein’s Derwisch scored a solid 66.87% for 22nd in the individual and Rebecca Bell with Valido’s Sunshine were just behind on 66.26% for 23rd against the best 54 pony riders in Europe.
