Dr Shane and Chris KP geek out over astrophysics with Prof. Virginia Kilborn and Dr Suzie Sheehy. Who discuss what makes up a galaxy and address the exciting question - do dark galaxies exist?Then Dr Emily Edwards and Johanna B Kelly discuss newborn screening. World class standard is to test for 80 diseases in the newborn heel prick test. In Australia we currently test for 28, as we haven't updated our testing since the 1990s. Labor confirmed their election promise of $38.4 million on April 6th 2022, to “end the testing lottery” of our very outdated Newborn Screening policy. Unfortunately, a federal budget senate hearing announced that Labor is no longer implementing this world class national newborn screening program of 80 diseases, budgeted for rollout in 2023.Program page: Einstein-A-Go-GoFacebook page: Einstein-A-Go-GoTwitter: Einstein-A-Go-Go

Christian chats to Johanna B Kelly, director of The Gateway Bug, a film about the benefits of an insect diet, screening as part of the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival on Sunday July 16, 3pm at Cinema Nova (380 Lygon St, Carlton).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Gateway Bug is a feature documentary offering a unique solution to modern environmental woes: farming and eating bugs. I speak with Johanna, the director, and Cameron, the writer and producer, about how to get big names associated with projects and how to change audiences' minds on hot-button issues.
The Melbourne Documentary Film Festival kicks off on July 9th and carries through to the 16th of July. Screening as part of the festival is The Gateway Bug, a documentary about the future - and that future is entomophagy... aka... eating bugs! Andrew interviewed director Johanna B. Kelly and producer Cameron Marshad about what went in to making a documentary about bugs, and what inspired them do cover this subject. The Gateway Bug was funded through Kickstarter, which Cameron discusses the ways he navigated through crowdfunding. This is a truly fascinating documentary in the line of That Sugar Film and The End of the Line - it'll make you look at the way you consume food in a different light, while also making you consider just how beneficial our insect friends are. The Gateway Bug screens on July 16th at 3:00pm. Tickets can be purchased here. Become a Patron! Follow us on twitter at ABFilmReview, Facebook at ABFilmReview.

"Two billion people in 80% of the world’s countries consume insects as part of their daily diet, and entomophagy has been practiced by those cultures for thousands of years.” In today’s bonus ReWild Yourself Podcast episode, I talk with the creators of the new documentary film The Gateway Bug, Johanna B. Kelly and Cameron Marshad. Johanna and Cameron are passionate about entomophagy and its potential to massively improve the sustainability of our current broken food industry. During the making of The Gateway Bug, they learned the ins and outs of the booming American edible insect industry, and they give us an inside look into the current landscape and what we can expect in the future. I hope this interview leaves you inspired to begin including edible insects in your diet! EPISODE BREAKDOWN: How Johanna and Cameron started working on this project The insect food industry & the existing broken food industry Eating whole insects vs eating insect powder Hierarchy of animals Nutritional content of insects Efficiency of raising insects for food Insect foods in grocery stores and restaurants The future of insect food How to get involved with The Gateway Bug Prognosis for the future of the human species
Johanna Kelly is a production designer with 7 feature films under her belt. Beyond her main role on set, she has undertaken a feature documentary as a director and producer diving into the world of the insect food industry. Her documentary The Gateway Bug is currently in post and is being prepped for a festival run. This is my first episode with a guest with whom I’ve had no prior relationship. It was an inevitability I suppose and I’m excited for the future of the podcast. Great to sit down with Johanna and learning about her from scratch, on air. It added new elements to the discovery aspects of the conversation and I found Johanna’s rise in the industry particularly fascinating since production design was not her first career.
