Joanna joins our podcast as CEO of the newly named MakeWay organization. You might know it as Tides Canada. We hear about the journey and thinking behind rebranding.  It's about getting clear about the purpose of the organization and as a result, determining some fitting branding to go with it. We hear examples of projects MakeWay supports and a snapshot of an organizational design and leadership pilot the organization is undertaking.  Through this, we’ll see just how fitting “MakeWay” is for this organization.   Along the way, we also hear a bit more about Joanna's background.  She came to MakeWay in the last year. Prior to that, she led Greenpeace Canada.  She had more international experience before that, particularly focused on women and tackling inequality. Along that line, we're also going to hear about her role as Board Chair of the newly formed Equality Fund. This is going to be a significant organization. It just received $300 million in funding from the federal government. We'll hear about the history and direction of the Fund.    Finally, we hear about how all of these things fit together, that the issues we're facing in the world, affecting society and the environment, are not separate and distinct, but all overlapping. Joanna brings great perspective to the intersectionality of those issues and how we need to solve for all of these things together. There's a lot to take away from this.

What's in a name? For President and CEO Joanna Kerr, the name change from Tides Canada to MakeWay is much deeper than just being just an attempt to solidify brand identity. It represents a bigger pivot from being a service-based organization to being a purpose-based organization. It represents the adoption of a more laser-focused approach on service that aligns everything to the purpose of making nature and communities thrive together. It represents a commitment to focus on empowering communities to create global impact. Joanna explains the deeper significance of this transformation with Douglas Nelson.

Katie asked the very seasonal question of Why is gooseberry jam red, when gooseberries are green?. This really baffled the Naked Scientists, so Joanna Kerr put this thorny question to Dr Sarka Tumova, a food scientist at the University of Leeds. Like this podcast?

Early intervention is likely to be critical for preventing many age-related diseases; but detecting these diseases at a sufficiently early stage to make a difference is often problematic. Now this may be about to change, because scientists in the UK have identified a molecular signature present in our cells that corresponds to our biological age - in other words, how well "lived in" our bodies are.
