The path to global reproductive rights often begins in the most local of places—a single clinic, a single conversation, a single patient.In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, host Purva Mehta explores how Traci Baird's career unfolded from counselling women in a North Carolina clinic to scaling abortion access across five continents. Along the way, she redefined what quality care looks like, led bold expansions into medication abortion, and championed inclusive sexual health education for youth. Now as President and CEO of EngenderHealth, she reflects on the moments that shaped her leadership and the lessons that still guide her through uncertainty.References for Our Discussion◼️EngenderHealth◼️DOGE Makes Its Latest Errors Harder to FindGuest◼️Traci BairdHost(s) Purva Mehta, BMSc, MScProducer(s)◼️ Gordon Thane, BMSc, MPH, PMP®Production Notes◼️ Music from Johnny Harris x Tom Fox: The Music RoomSubscribe to the NewsletterSubscribe to The Insight newsletter so you don't miss out on the latest podcast episodes, live events, job skills, learning opportunities, and other engaging professional development content here.Leave Us Some FeedbackIf you enjoy our podcasts, be sure to subscribe and leave us a rating on Apple Podcast or Spotify, and spread the word to your friends to help us get discovered by more people.

By 1981, the U.S. Surgeon General's office was a shadow of its former self—no ships, no quarantine stations, barely a dozen staff, and one statutory duty: publish the annual smoking report. Yet the Reagan White House still saw an opportunity. They tapped Dr. C. Everett Koop, a pediatric surgery legend whose outspoken pro-life views looked perfect for them in shoring up the administration's social-conservative base.In the final chapter of this three-part mini-series on the Public Health Insight Podcast, host Gordon Thane and biographer Dr. Nigel S. Cameron explore how Koop turned a “figurehead” job into the nation's moral megaphone—taking on Big Tobacco, steering the federal response to HIV/AIDS, and redefining public-health leadership.References for Our Discussion◼️Dr. Koop: The Many Lives of the Surgeon GeneralGuest◼️Nigel S.

Pediatric surgery as a specialty hasn't been around for as long as you might think. Before 1946, it wasn't even a line item in most hospitals—children simply waited for whichever general surgeon happened to be on call.In the second chapter of this three-part mini-series on the Public Health Insight Podcast, host Gordon Thane continues his conversation with biographer Nigel M. de S. Cameron to trace the journey of a young Dr. C. Everett Koop—from his first day at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to the moment he helped turn the care of children into an entirely new medical specialty, one whose ripple effects still shape neonatal, trauma, and fetal surgery today.References for Our Discussion◼️Dr. Koop: The Many Lives of the Surgeon GeneralGuest◼️Nigel M. de S.

Dr. C. Everett Koop was one of the most iconic figures in U.S. public health—instantly recognizable by his beard and bow tie, but much less known for the deeper convictions that guided his work. Despite his groundbreaking contributions to pediatric surgery, tobacco control, and AIDS education, his full story has remained largely untold—until now.In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, we speak with Dr. Nigel S. Cameron, the author of the first full biography of Dr. Koop. Drawing on personal friendship and years of research, Cameron shares why he felt called to tell Koop's story, how the book came to be, and what public health professionals today can learn from Koop's moral clarity, courage, and complexity.References for Our Discussion◼️Dr. Koop: The Many Lives of the Surgeon GeneralGuest◼️Nigel S.

The release of the JFK assassination files is now tantalisingly close, and every little bit of new information is being immediately inhaled by historians and conspiracy theorists alike. In the last couple of days, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, who was appointed by President Trump to manage the release, has stated that “the initial hearing… was actually faulty” and “I believe that there were two shooters”. This information alone is a bombshell, but coming from a US government official makes it all the more juicy. So what else about the official government account of the assassination could be false? And could this sordid event finally be shown to be a genuine, honest to goodness conspiracy? To answer these questions, Piers Morgan speaks to ex-mobster Louis Ferrante, ex-CIA agent Andrew Bustamante and YouTuber and filmmaker Johnny Harris. After that, Piers turns to Judyth Vary Baker, a woman who claims she was Lee Harvey Oswald's ex lover and claims he told her he was "set up".

Alex Wagner is a data scientist at SeerAI. This is a start up that has produced Geodesic, a spatiotemporal data fusion platform. The discussion was triggered by a video 12 days ago from popular YouTuber Johnny Harris, "Why Saudi Arabia is Building a $1 Trillion City in the Desert". Alex responded on LinkedIn with an animation of all evidence of construction activity at Neom since 2023. This was a perfect accompaniment to a conversation thread over the past two episodes with Valrie Grant and Jordan Regenie. Across these two episodes I have raised the issue of human rights abuses on Neom related to land ownership. The first time I did it was with Valrie, who is the deputy chair of a UN body - the private sector network of the UN's council of experts on global geospatial information management. Noting that Jordan has a law degree and that I am a new migrant to the US, I took the opportunity to discuss the first amendment with him in the context of whistle blowing about Neom. Both conversations were useful in building up a picture of how I am going to respond as a Geographic Information Systems Professional (GISP) certification holder. I started by gaining the awareness of someone associated with the world's peak human rights body, the UN. I continued with understanding my rights regarding speech to do with this circumstance in the world's largest economy, the US. Now I am continuing the conversation here by looking at how geospatial analysis can assist in understanding the whole affair. It is good that this can occur in the context of what one of the most popular map related YouTubers recently had to say about the project. Overall it shows how dynamic insightful our industry is. This conversation highlights how we have a global bench of talent independently researching and responding to the world as it happens. THE GEOSPATIAL INDEX The Geospatial Index is a comprehensive listing of all publicly traded geospatial businesses worldwide. Why? The industry is growing at ~5.4% annually (after inflation and after adjusting for base rates). This rate varies significantly, however, by sub index. For ~$400,000 to start, this growth rate is $5,000,000 over a working life. This channel, Bluesky account, newsletter, watchlist and podcast express the view that you are serious about geospatial if you take the view of an investor, venture capitalist or entrepreneur. You are expected to do your own research. This is not a replacement for that. This is not investment advice. Consider it entertainment.

At the beginning of 2024, mass layoffs decimated newsrooms, leading some pundits to proclaim that the media industry was facing an "extinction-level event." But there are bright spots despite the uncertainty, starting with a pair of video journalists and longtime friends: Cleo Abram and Johnny Harris. We called up the duo to invite you into one of their conversations — on what it means to go "independent," the potential of creator-led media businesses, and Johnny's love for...moss. This "Creators on Creators" conversation appears in Volume 2 of The Publish Press Newspaper, a full-color, 28-page print zine we're dropping on June 28th.
