20,000 Viruses Under The Sea: Mapping The Ocean's Viral Ecosystem The ocean is the largest region of the planet and remains a source of newly discovered species. But what do you do with a treasure trove of new viruses? A research team wrote in Science last month about finding thousands of new RNA viruses, and five new taxonomic phyla, in water samples from around the globe. The new species more than doubles the known number of RNA viruses on the planet, painting a clearer picture of the vast abundance and diversity of viruses in ocean ecosystems. Though they may be small, research on DNA viruses in the ocean has previously suggested tiny viruses may have a role in something as large as the global carbon cycle. Producer Christie Taylor interviews microbiologist and study co-author Ahmed Zayed about the importance of the ocean virome.   How Recreational Weed Transformed A Small California Town From the outside, Jose Rivas's gray, one-story office building seems just as unassuming as Woodlake, the small Tulare County City where it's located. But once you've been escorted inside the wrought iron gate and checked in at the security desk, you'll see a chemistry lab of so many potheads' dreams: bubbling evaporators, storage tanks of liquid nitrogen, and trays and trays of drying marijuana buds. But Rivas isn't a pothead – he's the CEO of a cannabis company known as Premium Extracts that squeezes, distills and steams everything it can from the flower. “Essentially what we've developed here is a methodology to isolate the components and molecules of the cannabis plant, which are responsible for its taste, its flavor, and all the nuanced aroma that comes from each individual cannabis strain,” Rivas said.   Read more at sciencefriday.com.   Meet The Doctor Trying To Bring Medical Marijuana Into The Mainstream An increasing number of states in the U.S. are legalizing medical cannabis, which means millions of people have access to medical marijuana cards. These can be used to buy cannabis to manage pain, treat mental health conditions, and help sleep issues. But a majority of U.S. medical schools offer no education about medical marijuana and its effects on the body. As a result, many physicians and medical professionals do not feel knowledgeable enough about cannabis to make recommendations to patients about what their options are: With so many methods of taking marijuana, and an endless combination of dosages and strains, many patients and doctors feel at a loss. Dr. Mikhail Kogan is trying to change that. As the medical director for the George Washington University Center for Integrative Medicine in Washington, D.C., Dr. Kogan is one of the foremost experts on using medical cannabis to treat a variety of conditions. A majority of his patients are geriatric and suffer from conditions as wide-ranging as cancer and Alzheimer's. Dr. Kogan traces his experience using marijuana as an alternative medicine in his book, Medical Marijuana: Dr. Kogan's Evidence-Based Guide to the Health Benefits of Cannabis and CBD. Ira chats with Dr. Kogan about why marijuana is successful as a treatment for so many medical conditions, and how interested patients should approach their physicians if they feel it could be right for them.   The World According to Sound: Listening to WiFi When you walk down a city street, you may not know it, but you're being bombarded with WiFi data streaming from people's home routers, phones, and businesses. Frank Swain and Daniel Jones recorded the WiFi signals while walking down a few streets in London. They used smartphones to capture the data and turn it into sounds. It's like a geiger counter, but for WiFi instead of radiation. Faster clicks mean higher wifi signal strength, robotic beeps are the router ID numbers. They call this project “Phantom Terrains.” They want us to consider how much of our urban world is saturated by invisible streams of data.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Anyone can be abused, regardless of age, gender, nationality, religion, ethnicity, or social background. Hundreds of thousands of adults over 60 years old are mistreated, neglected, or monetarily exploited every year. More than half a million reports of elder abuse are made to the police each year in the United States alone, and many more go unreported. If an older adult becomes more physically or cognitively frail, they may become less capable of self-care, resisting bullying, or defending themselves if/ when assaulted. Moreover, they may not see, hear, or understand as clearly as they once did, leaving them vulnerable to unscrupulous persons.   With these conditions in mind, This Is Getting Old together with The George Washington University Center for Aging, Health and Humanities, and multiple multi-sector partners present a 10-part AARP/ Age-Friendly Social Innovation Challenge to you.   Today's episode will be on Abuse, Fraud, and Neglect. Tune in to learn more about how we can help older adults victimized by abuse, fraud, or neglect.   Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️Coming Together For Victims of Abuse, Fraud, and Neglect. University students from the D.C. Metro area, older adults and local leaders who live in the region and work in the age-friendly space participated in a forum to develop abuse, fraud, and neglect solutions.   ✔️Do You Know Any Alberta's? Alberta is the persona developed as an example by the Abuse, Fraud, and Neglect Design Thinking team as a scenario with common circumstances in an intergenerational home. In the team's problem statement, Alberta, age 79, stays with her daughter and grandchildren, but they are rarely home. So to make the most out of her time, Alberta cleans the house and does what she can do. When she was alone one day, Alberta answered the phone call from a sales representative asking her to buy a bunch of magazines—which was a scam. After the incident, Alberta's daughter did not want her to use the phone.          ✔️What Makes Alberta So Susceptible To Scam? Understand and be familiar with the different forms of abuse, fraud, or neglect that you might not be mindful of. In Alberta's case, the roots of her susceptibility to abuse, fraud, and neglect are social isolation, not being used to working, role reversal, relationship strains, and many other things.  ✔️Age-Friendly Solutions For Alberta Several locals, state, and national social service organizations can assist with emotional, legal, and financial abuse. To name one, Silver Social Connect is a single-stop service that connects peers with their wider community through multiple means to help mitigate social isolation. ✔️How Can We Help Alberta? Everyone has the right to live in peace, decency, and respect. Abuse or neglect among older adults will not go away on its own. Someone else must step up and help. Many older adults are embarrassed to report abuse. Or they're scared that if they file a complaint, the abuser will find out, and the problem will worsen. If you feel that an older adult is in danger from a negligent or burdened guardian or being monetarily exploited, you must speak out.    Here are some hotlines and resources you can use to help victims of abuse, fraud or neglect.

I genuinely enjoy working with the complex medical needs of older adults. I worked full-time for five years as FNP in geriatric primary care across many long-term care settings (skilled nursing homes, assisted living, home, and office visits), then transitioned into academic nursing in 2005, joining the faculty at UNCW SON as a lecturer. I obtained my Ph.D. in Nursing and a post-master's Certificate in Nursing Education from the Medical University of South Carolina College of Nursing ('11). I then joined the faculty at Duke University School of Nursing as an Assistant Professor. My family moved to northern Virginia in 2015 and led to me joining the George Washington University (G.W.) School of Nursing faculty in 2018 as a (tenured) Associate Professor. I am also the Director of the G.W. Center for Aging, Health, and Humanities.

When it comes to navigating CBD and medical marijuana, the options can be overwhelming. In many ways, the cart is before the horse. And, it's already bursting at the seams. Research has been trying to catch up, with recent advancements showing the potential benefits as well as the drawbacks of cannabis. Scientists and physicians are quickly realizing that CBD and medical cannabis might just reclaim a useful place in medicine. What we do know is that there are many nuances. It is not a panacea, but there seem to be positive benefits if applied appropriately in the right conditions. Cannabis has been used in medicine for thousands of years, but to more fully understand the plant's complexities, more clinical studies are necessary. Pain management, sleep, anxiety, mood, nausea, skin conditions, women's health, and neurological conditions are just some of the areas where research is pointing. Combining the different cannabinoids (CBD, THC, CBD, CBN, and more) with a diverse array of terpenes and flavonoids, allows for a personalized approach to capture the beneficial effects. However, the dosage and route of delivery must be optimized to the individual's condition. Dr. Mikhail (Misha) Kogan MD, an expert in integrative and functional medicine, is leading the professional discussion in the field of medical cannabis.  He serves as the medical director of the George Washington University Center for Integrative Medicine, Associate Professor of Medicine George Washington University, the founder and executive director of the AIM Health Institute and a founding board member of the American Board of Integrative Medicine.

“How can you have a digital society where you don't even know what the rules are?”In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Kalev Leetaru, a media fellow at the RealClearFoundation and senior fellow at the George Washington University Center for Cyber and Homeland Security.Instead of repealing Section 230, he argues for an amendment to Section 230 that would compel social media companies to make available extensive dataset collections on what they're censoring, why each individual post or account was censored, and how the social media companies' algorithms decide what content is boosted or demoted.While some argue for repealing Section 230 immunity for social media companies altogether, Leetaru says it would have the opposite of the intended effect. Instead of decreasing censorship, it would only cause social media companies to become more avid censors as they try to avoid costly lawsuits.

As a super-networker and connector throughout her career, Leslie's core values are developing and maintaining deep, trusted relationships that are mutual, what she calls an entourage. She has been led by those values from her early career on, and that has enabled her to grow her influence and to follow her vision. She defines legacy as a vision which guides you. Hers is to create a world where gender equity is a given, not a goal.Interestingly, Leslie described an early career challenge as having lost her second job because she had too much confidence! That led to her entrepreneurial journey starting a series of businesses. Now she teaches and trains women to have more confidence, which she thinks men come by naturally.Gender equity was not her original goal when she started focusing on women's businesses, but rather it was helping women to get the tools to have successful, scalable businesses. After a great deal of research, which she constantly reads up on, her vision has centered on training women to step into leadership and be the best leaders. Going forward, starting in September 2021, she intends 75% of her effort to go to her vision of bringing all women the ability to be the best leader of all aspects of their life, not limited to career only. That is a huge aspiration, which doesn't faze her, and she knows that she can't possibly do that alone, so she intends to create a program to train other women to teach what she is teaching and “multiply herself.”Takeaways: Get in touch with yourself. Think about what lights you up in your career and pursue it. Develop the confidence to speak out and be a strong leader in whatever you do.Quotes“It's important, especially for women, to be surrounded by other leaders and have relationships with influencers who can make introductions.”“It's evident now that women need to learn what seems to come naturally to men.”“Be smart about choosing your significant other to achieve gender equity in your career and your own life.”BioAn entrepreneur for much of her career, Leslie founded 5 businesses. She has dedicated 25 years to helping women leaders, executives, entrepreneurs and CEOs reach their goals and live fulfilling lives. For the past 10 years, her work has been focused on developing women as confident leaders. For some of that time, she served as a chair/executive coach for Vistage International, a CEO peer group (all genders) organization.Currently, Leslie is Senior Fellow, Faculty Director and Educator, Executive Women's Leadership, at The George Washington University Center for Excellence in Public Leadership. Leslie leads the Executive Women's Program and Women Leaders on the Rise for high-potential women.Prior to starting Leslie Grossman Leadership, her training and coaching company, she co-founded the Women's Leadership Exchange (WLE). Preceding the Women's Leadership Exchange, Grossman founded and led an integrated marketing agency — CMA / B2Women.  Grossman's first book, Sellsation! How Companies Can Capture Today's Hottest Market: Women Business Owners and Executives helped companies market and sell to the growing market of professional women. She also authored Link Out: How to Turn Your Network into a Chain of Lasting Connections.Leslie received a B.A. in psychology/business from The George Washington University, Washington, DC; attended graduate school at New York University in Counselor Education, and she is certified as an executive coach by Vistage International and in assessing emotional intelligence with EQi-2.0/EQ 360. How to reach Leslie:Email: leslie@lesliegrossmanleadership.com.Website:www.lesliegrossmanleadership.com

"See Me at the Smithsonian" “See Me at the Smithsonian is a program for adults with dementia and their care partners.” - Robin Lynne MarquisCommunity Outreach Coordinator "Beautiful, young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art."—Eleanor Roosevelt. Artists understood that an art piece helps both the artist and the viewers. Access Smithsonian is a catalyst for a consistent, integrated, and inclusive design that provides meaningful access to the Smithsonian Institution Museums and content for visitors with disabilities - of all ages. Today's episode of This Is Getting Old is part of the University Seminar Series   and the Age-Friendly Ecosystem work we're doing at the George Washington University Center for Aging, Health and Humanities, and today we are focusing on the role of Arts and Creativity in aging. I've invited two guests to share the See Me at the Smithsonian initiative - Robin Lynne Marquis, Community Outreach Coordinator for Access Smithsonian and the See Me Program; and Amy Castine, is Lead Educator for these programs. Join us for another age-friendly discussion on making life easier, happier, safer, and meaningful for older adults. Part One of 'See Me at the Smithsonian'. Access Smithsonian: What Is It All About? The Smithsonian, founded in 1991, is the central office for all of the 19 museums, National Zoo, and research centers for the Smithsonian units. On the internal museum-facing side, they advise museums on policies, practices, and procedures for the staff, including training and advising the exhibition teams on inclusive design.  Externally, they provide the best experience for visitors with disabilities. They also host internships for students with intellectual disabilities and engage with communities in the local area and nationwide to join or visit museums and meet their needs. Mission  Access Smithsonian is a catalyst for a consistent, integrated, and inclusive design that provides meaningful access to the Smithsonian Institution Museums and content for visitors with disabilities. Vision To be recognized for excellence as an Institutional and international resource for inclusive museum facilities, programs, and services. People with disabilities who visit will view the Smithsonian Institution as relevant, accessible, and valuable. Responsibilities Policy, Practices, and Procedures  Training and Education  Programming  Community Engagement  Inclusive Design  Access Services  Internships   “Morning at the Museum is a sensory-friendly program for families with children and adults with autism spectrum.” -Robin Lynne Marquis, Community Outreach Coordinator Inclusive Programs    Morning at the Museum   Morning at the Museum is a free, sensory-friendly service for families of children, teens, and young adults who have developmental disabilities, autism, sensory processing problems, or other cognitive deficiencies.   Project SEARCH Smithsonian Institution   Project SEARCH Smithsonian Institution is a ten-month internship program that encourages young adults with intellectual and cognitive disabilities to learn employable and marketable career skills.    User Expert Advisory Group   The User Expert Advisory Group of the Smithsonian Institution is a partnership between Access Smithsonian and the Institute for Human-Centered Design. User Experts are Persons with disabilities who have gained skills from their lived experience of coping with environmental issues attributable to a bodily, sensory, or cognitive functional disability.  At Smithsonian Institution museums, user experts assess the usability and functionality of physical spaces, museum exhibitions, public facilities, technology, and facilities. Besides, user experts educate Smithsonian employees, interns, and volunteers on inclusion, diversity, and usability.   See Me at the Smithsonian   See Me at the Smithsonian is a hands-on program for dementia patients and their caregivers. Pre-registered members (8-10 persons) discover some of the Smithsonian's most precious artifacts through small group interactions and multi-sensory exercises on scheduled weekdays.  See Me provides intellectual stimulation, socialization experiences, and the opportunity for loved ones to share quality time in a comfortable atmosphere.  Since May 2020, to adapt amid COVID, the program has been thoroughly transitioning to virtual See Me programs. Five museums have hosted virtual programs through Zoom to date  and intend to do so in the future.    National Portrait Gallery Smithsonian American Art Museum National Museum of Asian Art: Freer and Sackler National Museum of African American History and Culture National Museum of American History   Programs are conducted from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. On request, virtual programming for wider audiences in neighborhood locations is possible. “If you’re older and frail, you don't have much energy even physically and cognitively; going virtual does eliminate a lot of these hurdles.” Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP-BC, FGSA, FAAN You can check on this website link: https://access.si.edu/program/see-me-smithsonian to learn more about the See Me at the Smithsonian Program. Part Two of 'See Me at the Smithsonian'. More About See Me at The Smithsonian The History of the Program  See me at the Smithsonian was an idea that began in 2016. An advisory committee was formed at that time, and folks who are experts in the field or have contact with people living with dementia formulated best practices and the ideas of how they wanted it to go forward.  Staff training began in September 2017, and the goal was to establish the accommodations and responsibilities as a museum and people working with the elder and disabled population. They had their pilot program with the National Portrait Gallery in October 2017, and from then on, it's been onward and upward. What The See Me at the Smithsonian Program is Today? The See Me at the Smithsonian program was able to expand to include the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the National Museum of African Art, and the National Museum of Asian Art: Freer and Sackler. From there, they start providing programming in a range of different subject matter areas so that folks can choose what is most interesting to them.  In the last two years, even before COVID happened, the brains behind the program recognized the need to expand the relationships to working within the community. These communities include senior residences, senior centers, villages, any social space where older adults are coming together and letting these folks know that they have a program for them. The goal is to prevent people from absent-mindedly wandering into a museum and letting them know that they could come to the free program.  Shifting to the Virtual Space   Due to the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Smithsonian's New York Regional Council, they're able to continue to expand even as they move into the virtual space through COVID. It's a meaningful, joyful experience for the organization to offer a better and broader range of topics for older adults and their caregivers to enjoy.  Since COVID, they've been offering programs to older adults within their actual residences or through their networks because they know that some of the most isolated people right now are in these places.  See Me en Español Launched in March    In March of this year, they started the program in Spanish—that's been a big dream of the organization for many years now. Carmen Pastore, the lead educator, leads the team, and they're now providing the program in Spanish.  “There's an intellectual and creative stimulation that comes with the See Me at the Smithsonian program.” -Amy Castine, Lead Educator  What Will You Experience at The See Me at the Smithsonian Program? The experience was much like what anyone would experience when they came into a museum where they would meet at a central location and then move toward art pieces. The most significant difference for older adults is that we're slowing down and looking at fewer objects. Below are some of the examples of the activities you’ll experience at the See Me at the Smithsonian Program.   Close Looking   "A typical tour would be 8-10 objects in an hour. But for our older adults, we recognize that processing times are different, and the ability to move from one place to another is a little different.  We want to make sure that the program meets their needs exactly as they are. We would look at two or maybe three objects in the gallery and spend our time doing "close looking."  Instead of just glancing at an object, we would sit and take a deep breath and relax for a moment and spend a minute just looking, without speaking, without any interpretation, and then move to ask, "What do you see in the object?", "What is the mood of this piece?, What is it bringing up for you?" These are meaning-making that we participate in when we look at the objects," says Lead Educator Amy Castine.     Collaboration with Arts for the Aging   The organization also partnered with Arts for the Aging, a local Washington, D.C. organization. One of the things that they add to the programing is participating with artists; they may be visual artists, musicians, poets, or storytellers.  In the process of looking at an artwork, say, looking at a screen at Asian Art of the Tales of Genji, a storyteller will tell a little story that's not just about the object itself but take the ideas that the participants generate and weave those into a tale of their own. If you're interested in reaching out to Arts for the Aging, you can connect with them at: Arts for the Aging Twitter: @artsfortheaging or  Arts for the Aging Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ArtsfortheAging/   Hands-on Creative Stimulation Activities   One instance shared by Amy Castine is looking at the Big Egg at the National Museum of African-American History and Culture. Working with a teaching artist, the materials that older adults and their caregivers happen to have on hand, whether that's wrapping paper or tissue paper or pens of different colors, highlighters, are used to create their big egg. So there's intellectual stimulation that comes with this, but there's also creative stimulation.

Reimagining Our World at Planetary Scale: The Big Data Future of Our Libraries What happens when massive computing power brings together an ever-growing cross-section of the world’s information in realtime, from news media to social media, books to academic literature, the world’s libraries to the web itself, machine translates all of that material as it arrives, and applies a vast array of algorithms to identify the events and emotions, actors and narratives and their myriad connections that define the planet to create a living silicon replica of global society? The GDELT Project (gdeltproject.org/), supported by Google Zigsaw, is the largest open data initiative in the world focusing on cataloging and modeling global human society, offering a first glimpse at what this emerging “big data” understanding of society looks like.  Operating the world’s largest open deployments of streaming machine translation, sentiment analysis, geocoding, image analysis and event identification, coupled with perhaps the world’s largest program to catalog local media, the GDELT Project monitors worldwide news media, emphasizing small local outlets, live machine translating all coverage it monitors in 65 languages, flagging mentions of people and organizations, cataloging relevant imagery, video, and social posts, converting textual mentions of location to mappable geographic coordinates, identifying millions of themes and thousands of emotions, extracting over 300 categories of physical events, collaborating with the Internet Archive to preserve online news and making all of this available in a free open data firehose of human society.  This is coupled with a massive socio-cultural contextualization dataset codified from more than 21 billion words of academic literature spanning most unclassified US Government publications, the open web, and more than 2,200 journals representing the majority of humanities and social sciences research on Africa and the Middle East over the last half century. The world’s largest open deep learning image cataloging initiative, totaling more than 150 million images, inventories the world’s news imagery in realtime, identifying the objects, activities, locations, words and emotions defining the world’s myriad visual narratives and allowing them for the first time to be explored alongside traditional textual narratives. Used by governments, NGOs, scholars, journalists, and ordinary citizens across the world to identify breaking situations, map evolving conflicts, model the undercurrents of unrest, explore the flow of ideas and narratives across borders, and even forecast future unrest, the GDELT Project constructs a realtime global catalog of behavior and beliefs across every country, connecting the world’s information into a single massive ever-evolving realtime network capturing what's happening around the world, what its context is and who's involved, and how the world is feeling about it, every single day. Here’s what it looks like to conduct data analytics at a truly planetary scale and the incredible new insights we gain about the daily heartbeat of our global world and what we can learn about the role of libraries in our big data future. www.against-the-grain.com www.charlestonlibraryconference.com Kalev Leetaru Georgetown University Senior Fellow, Center for Cyber & Homeland Security One of Foreign Policy Magazine's Top 100 Global Thinkers of 2013, Kalev is a Senior Fellow at the George Washington University Center for Cyber & Homeland Security and a member of its Counterterrorism and Intelligence Task Force, as well as being a 2015-2016 Google Developer Expert for Google Cloud Platform.

"And then they came for me." -Sabri Benkahla When it comes to the conversation of Islam in America, it can sometimes feel like having a debate where both parties talk over one another, dive into the shallow end of the topic and leave thinking they’ve proved their points—trophies for all. This self-perpetuating social filter bubble of sorts absolves accountability and fogs up facts—it clouds up the reality of what many Muslim communities in America have actually gone through and are going through. No place has had it worse than Dar Al-Hijrah, a northern Virginia mosque that sits right outside the nation’s capital. First there was peace. Then there was 9/11. And then there was terror. This is the story of how one mosque and its community has spent the past 15 years at the intersection of faith, terrorism and liberty.
