The 2024 State of the Science Meeting from the Southeastern Coastal Center for Agricultural Health and Safety brought together several researchers and Extension professionals working at the intersection of agricultural health and safety research, policy, and outreach communication. In this episode, three speakers from the meeting reconvene to share a conversation highlighting the importance of culturally sensitive health interventions and innovative solutions to bridge healthcare gaps in rural areas. You'll hear Dr. John Diaz. Dr. Lauri Baker, and Dr. David Buys discuss how factors like economic stability, education access, healthcare quality, neighborhood environment, and social context influence the health and well-being of farmworkers. Our guests also emphasize the vital role of Cooperative Extension in connecting land-grant universities with communities, particularly in the context of medicine and public health. Examples from Florida and Mississippi are highlighted, showing how the roles of Extension have evolved from primarily agricultural and home economics education to encompassing broader health initiatives.Resources:2024 SCCAHS State of the Science MeetingOn The Farm Film Series: https://www.onthefarm.life/ CAFE Latino: https://extadmin.ifas.ufl.edu/teams-and-programs/cafe-latino/ Transcripts available here: https://piecenter.com/media/podcast/#transcriptAre you an educator?

¿Qué se puede hacer para sacar de la pobreza a miles de niños y jóvenes que viven en contexto vulnerable? Además de los esfuerzos del Estado, que suelen ser cuestionados por su falta de eficacia o la falta de presupuesto, hay varias iniciativas surgidas de la sociedad civil. Un ejemplo es el proyecto Minga, ubicado en Las Piedras, Canelones, donde desarrolla actividades socioeducativas y deportivas para niños y jóvenes que están por fuera del sistema educativo formal. Minga es una obra social salesiana que nació en 2009, después de que el padre Mateo Méndez renunciara al cargo que ocupó brevemente en la Colonia Berro. En estos días ese proyecto tuvo una visibilidad especial, ya que el presidente Luis Lacalle Pou recorrió las instalaciones la semana pasada. La visita tomó por sorpresa a los coordinadores, que hace tiempo vienen reclamando más apoyo del Estado. Aprovechamos este momento para hacer una puesta apunto sobre el trabajo que realiza Minga, los apoyos que tiene (o no) del Estado, y su visión sobre cómo atacar los temas de pobreza en la juventud. Conversamos En Perspectiva el Padre Mateo Méndez ,y Jhon Díaz, coordinador del Proyecto Minga Salesianos. *** Para conocer más acerca del proyecto Minga: fundacionesperanzajoven.org/recorriendo-el-proyecto-minga-salesianos/ Facebook de proyecto Minga: Proyecto Minga Pueden contactarse con la Fundación Esperanza Joven, de la que es parte el proyecto Minga, a través del número: 099 776 034

Education leaders, school business officials and practitioners continue to confront a full plate of difficult and time-sensitive decisions. How can we reflect on and improve practices and approaches for making those decisions to better serve students? In this episode, host Jason Willis and special guest Alex Jacobson from WestEd explore how good decisions in our school systems that lead to successful outcomes for all students are in part contingent on the ways in which people make those decisions. As part of this exploration, we'll look through the frame of what's known as System 1 and System 2 thinking – and discuss how education leaders can begin to apply some of what the research tells us to strengthen approaches to decision making, both individually and organizationally.ABOUT OUR GUESTAlex Jacobson is a Senior Research Associate with the Comprehensive School Assistance Program at WestEd.

COVID-19 and other crises have put extreme operational pressures on public school systems. And these pressures, as Dr. Rosanna Mucetti, Superintendent of Napa Valley USD says, can break or make organizations. In this episode, Rosanna and Rob Mangewala, NVUSD's Assistant Superintendent and Chief Business Official, describe how their district actually leveraged challenges during the crisis to accelerate their focus on resource equity and school improvement. “All of a sudden, work that was probably going to take us three to five years to implement as articulated in our strategic plan was in overdrive and things got adopted in months because of the pressures of the pandemic,” Rosanna says. In addition, Rosanna and Rob share practical guidance and insights from their leadership experiences, including how their district:Opened campuses early in the pandemic and maintained strong collaboration among the board, management team and labor partners.Approached resource allocation equity through standardization and sustainability to guarantee a “base floor” of access for all students.Revamped the district's system of technology and adopted a new assessment in the midst of the pandemic.Responded to severe fiscal challenges like declining enrollment.About our guestsRob and Rosanna's professional partnership began more than two decades ago, when they were both clearing their teaching credentials.

Big boobs have been, are, and likely will be the bounty of the plastic surgeon for years to come. With more nicknames than you can count, there's a global fascination with big boobs, and it is not limited to Western culture. Some may not like it, but it is pervasive in all cultures, from restaurant names to rock and rap songs, film to fashion, marketing, to media, to mommy makeovers. We want them, we condemn them. we flaunt them and we mock them. But, for one reason or another, we are obsessed by them. It's hard to pinpoint where our cultural obsession with breasts began. Perhaps it developed as a result of puritanical society and its restriction on exposure of the breasts. Perhaps it's the allure of the forbidden. Perhaps the attraction to large, full-form breasts is due to Hollywood's push of the sex symbol. Perhaps it is a result of fashion industry marketing. Whatever the cause, and whenever it started, the attraction of the female breast is not limited to men and it is not limited to sexuality. Whether the desire is to enhance the breast, reduce the breast or change the shape of the breast, cosmetic surgery is huge business. And speaking of huge, today let's focus on cosmetic breast augmentation on this episode of Beauty and the BS. In this first of two episodes, Dr. Grossman has an in-depth conversation on Cosmetic Breast Augmentation with Dr. John Diaz. Dr. Diaz is a medical staff member of the renowned Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA and has a private practice in Beverly Hills.

In part two of our focus on California's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), we examine more closely the concept of local control, especially as it relates to educational equity. Host Jason Willis and special guests consider vital questions, including:How does the State's shift to local control impact equity? How do we strike a balance between local autonomy, innovation, compliance and accountability?How effective are Local Control and Accountability Plans (LCAPs) that all districts must adopt with stakeholder input? What role can school boards in particular play in the LCFF-LCAP process? Plus, we delve into the practical, hands-on experiences of a veteran chief school business official who has implemented LCFF in her small, rural school district. She shares valuable strategies that school district leaders and business officials can draw on when implementing LCFF.Guests:Heather Naylor has served as CBO in Gridley USD in Butte County for 17 years. The district serves approximately 2,100 students, 75% who qualify in the “unduplicated" student count.

Have you had a chance yet to check out the Budgeting for Educational Equity podcast? We're sharing the latest episode here because it delves into a subject near and dear to anyone interested in California education funding: the Local Control Funding Formula, or LCFF, which was adopted in 2013.The LCFF is regarded by many as the most significant resource equity reform the state has ever enacted. It definitely ushered in a new era of school funding for school districts. But how has the LCFF actually worked? Has it accomplished what it was intended to? And how are some of the inherent tensions between local and state decision making authority, oversight and accountability being navigated? In this episode, series host Jason Willis and special guests explore key elements of the LCFF: Mike Kirst, former State Board of Education President, Professor Emeritus at Stanford University, and chief architect of the LCFF under Gov. Jerry Brown, offers a remarkable glimpse into the development of the formula, including some of the difficult choices, innovative thinking and pragmatic considerations that went into creating the new law.Xilonin Cruz-Gonzalez provides a review of the law, based on her unique perspective both as a locally elected school board member in Azusa USD and as Deputy Director for Californians Together, a statewide group that advocates on behalf of English Learner students. Xilonin also serves as immediate past president of the California School Boards Association.And Richard De Nava, Assistant Superintendent, Business Services at San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools, shares insights about the policy and practical implications of the LCFF.

In Spurscast episode 636, Spurscast host Paul Garcia and Project Spurs writer John Diaz discuss: The Spurs going 1-3 in their last four games against the Dallas Mavericks (twice), Milwaukee Bucks, and Indiana Pacers Jakob Poeltl out due to Health and Safety Protocols The team offense and defense through eight games Players averaging double figures in scoring The early numbers from the Spurs' struggles in crunch time 1-3 in Last 4 Games Since the last Spurscast episode, the Spurs have gone 1-3 in their last four games. Going back to last Thursday, they lost a close game in Dallas to the Mavericks after San Antonio jumped out to a 20 point lead. Then on Saturday they went into the home of the defending champion Bucks and defeated Milwaukee. Two nights later in Indiana, the Spurs suffered their worst loss of the season, getting blown out by Indiana by as many as 26 points, though the final score was a 13 point loss for San Antonio. Finally, the Spurs lost another close game to Dallas, this time at home in the AT&T Center. The team is now 2-6 through eight games to start the season, with six of of their games being close and going down to the wire. Poeltl Out The Spurs announced Wednesday Jakob Poeltl would be out due to Health and Safety protocols. Poeltl has been averaging 14 points per game and he is the team's interior defensive anchor. Poeltl is expected to miss a few games. Team Offense and Defense Through 8 Games The Spurs rank 17th on offense and 14th on defense through eight games. In the episode, their Top 10 and Bottom 10 stats on offense and defense are discussed to see which stats are likely going to be a strength or weakness for the team all season, and which are just noise from early sample sizes that will eventually regress. Individual Double Figure Scoring Leaders Dejounte Murray, Keldon Johnson, Poeltl, Derrick White, Devin Vassell, and Lonnie Walker IV are all averaging more than 10 points per game. Each player is discussed with observations and notes on each end of the floor in the episode. Early Look at Crunch Time Struggles The Spurs have been in six games that have gone down to the last five minutes, with the team ahead or behind by five points. Those six games are the second most in the NBA as of Thursday afternoon during those clutch situations. The Spurs are struggling in those clutch situations with a 1-5 record. The team numbers and players who log the most minutes in those situations are analyzed in one conversation of the episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Districts must also engage stakeholders before adopting a Local Control and Accountability Plan. While the new law has shifted more discretion for budgetary decisions to local school districts, it has also brought to the surface inherent tensions between local and state decision making authority.

School districts face extreme urgency to safely return students to in-person environments and help them recover from a pandemic that has not yet ended. At the same time, leaders and practitioners are pressing to expeditiously but thoughtfully allocate a windfall of new state and federal dollars – all the while trying to leverage the unique opportunity created by these circumstances to bring about transformative changes to our public school systems. How can school communities make the most of this moment to innovate towards a greater equality of outcomes for all students? That's the question we explore in this episode. Education reform experts Michael Fullan and Joanne Quinn share powerful ideas and insights from their work. Both have advised school systems in California and throughout the world. They've co-authored many books and papers, including their latest, “Right Drivers for Whole System Success.” Fullan and Quinn help us to look through the lens of equity and learning, emphasizing that education leaders should prioritize engaging all of their students.The possibilities for investing this influx of new, one-time funding to address inequities is truly exciting. But not so simple. School business officials especially may find themselves caught in a tension, on the one hand focused on fulfilling their important, traditional role of ensuring fiscal health and responsible accounting (including spending down Covid-recovery funds within prescribed timelines) while also being presented an opportunity to help their districts think and act in new ways that can be sustained over time. CASBO CEO and executive director Tatia Davenport also re-joins Jason to put some of Michael and Joanne's ideas through a school business “reality check.” Tatia describes why focusing on increasing the long-term yield of our public school investments is so critical, plus she highlights why district leaders need more time and space to plan, so they can develop a cohesive strategy with their communities for effectively spending their funds and improving outcomes.

In this episode, Sanger Unified School District Superintendent Adela Madrigal Jones highlights approaches and actions her district has taken to advance equity. It's chock-full of practical guidance, real-life experiences and candid reflections from a lifelong educator who has helped lead successful work in this Central Valley district.One of the key strategies Sanger USD utilizes are “Principal Summits.” These summits engage school site leaders in reviewing data, collectively exploring how dollars are invested (including LCFF-LCAP funds), developing plans and actions to meet the needs of all students, and regularly monitoring those plans. Superintendent Madrigal Jones shares further insights into the mechanics of budgeting for equity, including describing how some recent allocation models called for distributing dollars equally, and some equitably. In addition, she takes us inside some of her district's recent discussions about how best to utilize newly available one-time state and federal dollars to accelerate recovery from the pandemic.Later in this episode, Sanger USD Chief Business Official Marsha Alfving joins Adela to discuss the key importance of superintendents and chief business officials working together and with their teams to support resource equity. CBO Alfving describes several ways that school business officials can deepen their engagement in their district's conversations around equity and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) to best meet the needs of all students.Finally, Superintendent Madrigal Jones looks back on a key success in her district that improved early literacy. Plus, she recommends a few things that all educational leaders should consider bringing along as they prepare to embark on their own resource equity and "cultural shift" journeys.GuestsAdela Madrigal Jones has served as superintendent of Sanger USD since July 2018. Prior to that, she served as associate superintendent, as a principal and a teacher, all in the district. She has also worked extensively with English Learners. In total, she has spent more than 37 years in public education.Marsha Alfving has served in Sanger USD for more than a decade, including as Chief Financial Officer since 2013. She's also a Certified Public Accountant and prior to joining Sanger, served for several years in public accounting.Sanger USD is located in California's Central Valley. The district serves about 11,000 students, nearly 70% who qualify for free and reduced price meals and 15% who are English Learners. The district has been recognized in research literature, such as the 2019 Learning Policy Institute brief, for its promising practices and outcomes, especially for students of color.Download the Interactive Companion Brief for this episode.*Budgeting for Educational Equity is presented by the California Association of School Business Official (CASBO), in partnership with WestEd.

Veteran school district CBO Jayne Christakos joins us to help build our practical understanding of equity and resource allocation in educational systems, and to identify some good places to start. She emphasizes the crucial importance of embracing a districtwide culture that is comfortable using data, asking questions and "listening to the whole system."Throughout our series, we're sharing specific experiences and examples of leaders and practitioners who are doing the work of ensuring a more equitable allocation of resources. We explore their motivations, what tools they're using, what's working, and what they've learned. ***Be sure to check out the new Episode 2 Companion Brief: Using Data to Advance Equity***Jayne Christakos has served as a chief school business official in several California districts, including the past six years as CBO with San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD), where she recently retired from in June. SBCUSD is among the 12 largest school districts in the state with nearly 50,000 students, about 90% who qualify for free and reduced price meals. The district has implemented a number of significant initiatives to improve learning and well-being for its diverse student population.In this episode, Jayne describes work she has helped carry out in the district, including an initiative called Targeted Support for School Progress (TSSP) that utilized data across all areas to identify a number of school sites for additional support. As part of TSSP, district and site teams worked to examine everything they were doing, from classroom instruction to professional development. The effort also involved creating a new cabinet-level assistant superintendent position for continuous improvement (led by Dr. Rachel Monarrez) -- and strengthening cross-departmental collaboration. Data after the first year of the program showed significant improvements for student subgroups across many areas.Jayne also shares additional timely advice for leaders and school business officials based on her experiences in the CBO chair, as a CBO mentor, and as a "go-to" person for so many in the state on school district budgeting.

Advancing equity continues to be a major focus for California public education at all levels of the system. Yet, as education leaders and school business officials, it's not always easy to press your way forward into the noisy, bustling, sometimes uncomfortable intersection where equity meets educational resources. In our first episode, host Jason Willis, director of strategic resource planning and implementation for WestEd and a former chief business official in several California school districts, invites several guest policy experts, advocates and school district leaders to share how they think about and define resource equity in education. It's our way to help you get your "resource equity bearings." This also helps set the context for a core question we'll be exploring throughout this series: How can dedicated teams of educators, administrators, school business officials and entire school communities allocate resources — resources like time, money and our most valuable asset, people — to better meet the needs of all their students? Especially at this watershed moment, coming out of the pandemic, when student needs have never been greater and an influx of additional federal and state dollars offer opportunities for transformative change.

As the old adage goes, you are what you eat. But do you really know what you are eating on a daily basis? You might be surprised to find out that the institutions in charge of keeping our food safe are really not as interested in your health as you think. In episode 39, we sit down with long time GMO activist John Diaz as he breaks down the corporate monster that is the bio tech industry and gives you tips on how to avoid Frankenfood Fever!For full episodes check out deadrabbitssociety.com!2008 Presidential Panel on Cancer: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#imp/FMfcgxwLtGqDjZpnPLxtZVTVGdMnlZTh?projector=1&messagePartId=0.1GM Watch, Michael Antoniou, a London-based molecular geneticist, explained that significant changes could occur due to genetic editing, in both agricultural and medical contexts, necessitating long-term safety and toxicity studies. He explained:15"Many of the genome editing-induced off-target mutations, as well as those induced by the tissue culture, will no doubt be benign in terms of effects on gene function. However, many will not be benign and their effects can carry through to the final marketed product, whether it be plant or animal …Thus not only is it necessary to conduct whole genome sequencing to identify all off-target mutations from CRISPR-based genome editing, but it is also essential to ascertain the effects of these unintended changes on global patterns of gene function.… In addition, it is important to acknowledge that the targeted intended change in a given gene may also have unintended effects. For example, the total disruption or modification of an enzyme function can lead to unexpected or unpredictable biochemical side-reactions that can markedly alter the composition of an organism, such as a food crop.The compositional alterations in food products produced with genome editing techniques will not be fully revealed by the molecular profiling methods due to the current inherent limitations of these techniques. So it is still necessary to conduct long-term toxicity studies in established animal model systems. In the absence of these analyses, to claim that genome editing is precise and predictable is based on faith rather than science."Gene Editing May Not Be as Precise as It SeemsResearchers at the U.K.'s Wellcome Sanger Institute systematically studied mutations from CRISPR-Cas9 in mouse and human cells, focusing on the gene-editing target site. Large genetic rearrangements were observed, including DNA deletions and insertions, that were spotted near the target site.They were far enough away, however, that standard tests looking for CRISPR-related DNA damage would miss them. The DNA deletions could end up activating genes that should stay "off," such as cancer-causing genes, as well as silencing those that should be "on."16CRISPR-Cas9 also leads to the activation of the p53 gene, which works to either repair the DNA break or kill off the CRISPR-edited cell.17 CRISPR actually has a low efficacy rate for this reason, and CRISPR-edited cells that survive are able to do so because of a dysfunctional p53.The problem is that p53 dysfunction is also linked to cancer (including close to half of ovarian and colorectal cancers and a sizable portion of lung, pancreatic, stomach, breast and liver cancers as well).18https://www.nexusnewsfeed.com/article/science-futures/genetic-editing-of-animals-has-horrible-side-effects/#GMOs #Monsanto #frankenfood #bigpharma #bigagra #glyphosate #rounduplawsuits #roundup #geneticallymodifiedorganism #covidvaccine #vaccinecourt #yesonprop37 #billgates #eugenics #dupont #dowchemical #leakygut #crisprgeneediting #presidentialpaneloncancer #johndiaz #goldenrice #mrnatechnology #rockefeller #algore #sunrisemovement #gmoinsulin #georgesoros #depopulation
