Martin Davidson is the Johnson & Higgins Professor of Business Administration at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business and he currently serves as their senior associate dean and global chief diversity officer. He holds degrees from both Harvard and Stanford and was on the faculty at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth prior to arriving at Darden in 1998. His book, The End of Diversity as We Know It: Why Diversity Efforts Fail and How Leveraging Difference Can Succeed, introduces a research-driven roadmap to help leaders more effectively create and capitalize on diversity in organizationsIn this episode, Stew and Martin discuss the reasons the diversity and inclusion efforts often fail. Martin reviews ways that leaders can create diverse and inclusive organizations that work by, among other things, embracing the weird. He describes a proven, practical model for seeing real sources of difference, understanding them, and engaging in experimentation to create positive change that benefits collective interests. It can be done! And, as two bass players, they talk about how the purposes served by that musical instrument are analogous to those pursued by people striving to create meaningful dialogue and growth in organizations. Here then is an invitation, a challenge, for you, once you’ve listened to the conversation. Ask yourself this question: What’s the most critical fissure in the social life of your work team or organization; what, in other words, really divides members in ways that subvert your collective goals? And what would you need to do to better understand the implications of that source of disconnection?

In this episode of Mommy Brain Revisited I talk with Dr Catherine Dulac, Higgins Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Harvard University and Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in the USA. We talk about her research on neurons expressing galanin in the MPOA and their essential role in parenting behaviors in females and males. So interesting! We also talk about the potential role of these neurons in maternal mental illness and whether or not we should be using the word 'instinct' when we talk about parental behaviour. For more information about Dr. Dulac's research click here. Here is a direct link to her publications. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mommybrainrevisited/support

Episode 15. Vincent Racaniello is the Higgins Professor of Virology and Microbiology at Columbia University. He hosts and produces multiple podcasts, including This Week in Virology, This Week in Microbiology, This Week in Neuroscience, among others. Vincent did his PhD at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine at CUNY and a postdoc at MIT with David Baltimore. 

Despite the crises at hand, viruses themselves are incredible “creatures”. With all of us using the language of virology lately (without always knowing what it is we’re really talking about) we decided now was the time to learn how they fit into the ecology of our planet. We were fascinated by what we learned. “Earth's Virology Professor” Vincent Racaniello, PhD is a Higgins Professor of Microbiology & Immunology at Columbia University and host of the popular podcast This Week in Virology. Vincent joins us on The WildFed Podcast to give us a crash course in viral ecology and the virome. "We live and prosper in a cloud of viruses," he says, and most viruses are actually beneficial, not harmful. Tune in to learn some fascinating facts on viruses, as well as hear Vincent's expert insights on COVID-19 and our global response.

I've seen a frightening amount of misinformation about the coronavirus (properly called COVID19.) We need to break down the truth of the coronavirus and its impact on people. Ethan Evans (VP @ Twitch Prime) and I sit down with a leading virologist to discuss the impact of coronavirus, dispel the most common myths in the media about it, and explain how worried you actually need to be. WE NEED TO TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO ACTUAL EXPERTS AND FOCUS ON SCIENTIFIC FACT. This is imperative in a time of fear. Please take the time to listen to this talk. The talk is demonetized and I don't have a benefit of putting this up on Youtube. I just want the information out there.

Constructed in 2009 in the highly populated South End neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL) facility contains labs that operate at biosafety levels 2, 3 and 4. Due to its location the NEIDL has faced a raft of legal and regulatory hurdles that have prevented BSL-3 and BSL-4 labs from becoming functional. “Threading the NEIDL,” is a 1-hour documentary narrated by Vincent Racaniello, PhD, Higgins Professor of Microbiology & Immunology at Columbia University, which explores how the NEDIL is secured from unauthorized entry, what's like to wear a BSL-4 level safety suit, how the facility is constructed to make it safe, and how workers carry out experiments with highly dangerous viruses such as Ebola virus and Lassa virus without jeopardizing their health or that of the surrounding community. This is a never before seen look at how one of America's state of the art biodefense research facilities operates and the security measures put in place to keep it safe, even in the heart of a major urban center. This documentary was filmed in conjunction with the popular science podcast This Week in Virology, which is also hosted by Vincent Racaniello.

Richard Osgood is the Higgins Professor of Electrical Engineering and Professor of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics at Columbia University. He co-founded the Columbia Microelectronics Sciences Laboratories, and serves on the DARPA Defense Sciences Research Council in the area of Materials Research and the Los Alamos National Laboratory Visiting Advisory Board for the Chemical Sciences and Technology Division. He speaks about his long professional association with Steve Brueck and some of the research activities they have shared.

David Knipe is the Higgins Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics at Harvard Medical school. A virologist, Dr. Knipe focuses his research efforts on the herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) – the virus we have to thank for genital herpes. An astonishing 20% of Americans have been infected with HSV-2, and whether they’ve had a recognizable outbreak of sores or not, they can still carry the virus. Once you contract the HSV-2 it lays low in your nerve cells, waiting for the right moment to create watery blisters that eventually burst and release more virus particles. Dr. Knipe is interested in how the cells lead these two, very different lives: quiet and quiescent inside the nerve cell and loud and lytic in the epithelium on the surface of the body. Genital herpes is no picnic, but the effects of HSV-2 infection are worst in people with depressed immune systems and in newborns; babies who pick up the virus during birth may suffer from neurological damage, brain damage, or even death. There is no cure for genital herpes, and no means of getting rid of HSV-2, only ways of managing outbreaks. But there is some hope of relief; Dr. Knipe’s lab has developed a vaccine that will enter the trial phase soon. In this interview, I asked Dr. Knipe about how he got interested in viruses, about the vaccine he’s developed and who could hope to benefit from it, and why it’s taken science so long to develop a vaccine for this extremely common disease.
