Mark Twain once said, “Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.” Today's guest knows a little something about whiskey. Alex Chasko is the Master Distiller and Blender and was employee number one at Teeling Whiskey, which was built in 2012 and was the first new distillery in Dublin for over 125 years. However, Alex didn't start there. His passion for brewing can be seen as early as sophomore year when he started making beer with at-home brew kits and spent his summers at Bridgeport Brewing Company. Through working at Bridgeport, Alex learned how biology and chemistry were applied to the elements of brewing. After graduating from the University of Oregon, Alex worked at Pyramid Brewing Company in Seattle until he realized he wanted to get into whiskey and distilling. When it comes to whiskey, Edinburgh, Scotland, is the only place to go. So, Alex saved up his pennies, sold his truck, and enrolled in Heriot-Watt University in their Masters of Brewing and Distilling program, where he felt like he belonged. After a brief stint in Singapore to open a brew pub and rediscover where he was born, Alex moved back to Ireland in 2008 to bring new ideas to whiskey. For 20 years, Teeling had struggled to compete against large distilleries such as Jameson but thanks to Alex's dedication to bringing new and innovative flavors to whiskey, Teeling is now the World's Most Awarded Irish Whiskey. Teeling continues to raise the bar and boasts over 200 International Whiskey Awards. Alex Chasko is being interviewed by Mike Aronson, Associate Professor of Cinema Studies To connect with Alex, visit: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-chasko-497a6823/ Teeling Whiskey: ​​https://www.teelingwhiskey.com/us/en/ Keep in touch!

While some of us spent the long days of the early pandemic cleaning out the refrigerator or adopting a puppy, others – like Dr. M Jackson – spent it searching for a hidden hoard of pirate gold in Alaska. The adventure, filmed in summer 2020 and chronicled in the hit 2022 Netflix series Pirate Gold of Adak Island, is but one of many far-flung locales that this UO grad has traveled in her exciting career in search of what the earth can reveal. Indeed – as a geographer, glaciologist, National Geographic Explorer, Fulbright Ambassador, TED Fellow, Peace Corps volunteer, and author – Dr. Jackson's life has mostly been about seeing and doing things differently than many of her peers. Earning her doctorate from the UO in 2017, Dr. Jackson explored how climate change transformed people and glacier communities in Iceland. A staunch advocate of communicating science in ways that resonate outside of the Academy, Dr. Jackson worked for more than a decade in the Artic, chronicling climate change, communities, and glacial systems. Her sustained interrogation of “who gets to practice glacial science” still forms the backbone of her professional practice. Dr. Jackson is interviewed on the podcast by Dr. Hollie Smith, Associate Professor of Science and Environmental Communication and Associate Director for the UO Center for Science Communication Research. As two women who have reflected deeply about “what knowledges” are permitted in the scientific realm and how scientific discoveries are shared with the public, their captivating conversation will naturally connect with scientists and non-scientists alike. Dr. Jackson's 2015 memoir, While Glaciers Slept: Being Human in a Time of Climate Change, knits together stories of climate change in both family and planet. Her 2019 book, The Secret Lives of Glaciers, examines the profound impacts of glacier change on the human and physical geography of Iceland. Her forthcoming (and first) novel, The Ice Sings Back, is set in the Pacific Northwest, where M – in between travels to ice around the world – makes her home with her husband and young son. Read Dr. M Jackson's newest novel, The Ice Sings Back, available beginning in January 2023 https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-ice-sings-back-m-jackson/18660400 For more information on Dr. M Jackson, visit: https://www.drmjackson.com/ Keep in touch!

Right now, millions of people across the country are currently awaiting The United States Supreme Court decision on the future of DACA. It took a senior year college application for Briselda Molina (BA Journalism ‘11) to learn that she was a Dreamer. Here at the UO, a “Dreamer” refers to Undocumented, DACA-mented, Tuition Equity, and students of mixed status families. Briselda shares how her undocumented status has shaped her life, including how she got to UO, graduated, then went to grad school as a DACA recipient and became a DACA professional. Today she serves as a career and academic advisor at the School of Journalism and Communication. She is joined by Lynn Stephen, Philip H. Knight Chair and Distinguished Professor of Anthropology and a member of the UO Dreamers Working Group. She shares her insight on the ways UO is promoting the safety, well-being and success of undocumented and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) students, and how others can help. Would you like to help? Please consider giving to the Opportunity Through Excellence Scholarship, which provides scholarship support for students enrolled at the U of O, with a preference for students who self-identify as “undocumented,” as “Dreamers”, or as students with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status. Students are eligible if they are first-generation college students with financial need, and are ineligible to receive federal financial aid as determined by the UO Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships. The Opportunity Through Excellence Scholarship provides significant awards for selected students—sometimes up to $9,000 a student. We have a growing endowment to support Opportunity through Excellence students, which builds sustainability to our annual fundraising efforts to support the scholarship. Thank you to all of our generous donors!
