Podcasts about milk banks

Send us a textI am truly excited about this new segment brought to ya' by Ochsner's Childrens' Hospital! Milk-Bank Miracles with Dr. Harley Ginsberg will shine light on what the NICU is and what hospitals do to keep our little, itty bitty nuggets alive! It really is miraculous.  Dr. Ginsberg is the founder and medical director of Mothers' Milk Bank of Louisiana at Ochsner Baptist. He has written chapters for medical textbooks on neonatology and has published scientific medical articles in the New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of Perinatology, and Clinics in Perinatology among others. Dr. Ginsberg's professional interests include the use of donor human milk to prevent neonatal intestinal disease as well as the role of human milk in infection prevention.  I am blown away by this opportunity to partner with him and open a window for our audience to learn more not only about his Mother's Milk-Bank but also the guided hand to learn about the NICU! (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.)To learn more about this go to: www.ochsner.org_______________________________________________________________________________________________Then later we welcome New Orleans Council Member Lesli Harris to hear about what our city is doing to combat our homeless crisis. I met Council Member Harris one hot and blazey summer afternoon and since then, she has graced our show with her smile and passion for our city. I was so inspired by her devotion in this area of SO MANY areas to focus on. I learned by our interview that over 200 individuals have been rehabilitated through the "Home For Good Program" (https://homeforgoodneworleans.org)                                        Over 1,000 individuals have been taken off the street and ARE GIVEN recourses in all aspects of life; not to only get them off the streets, but to give them dignity, confidence and motivation to get back up and make the next day better than the last. I wish you could see Council Member Lesli Harris' eyes when she presents the raw data, stats and numbers that really are jolting. There were a couple of topics that we didn't see quite eye to eye, but that is what civil dialogue is and unfortunately has been lost in our country for some time now.  I came to her with urgency because of a situation that happened with me and my family in the Marigny a couple of months back. It startled me, and I felt helpless. I don't like that feeling, ESPECIALLY when my babies are with me.  My fear is that if the homeless numbers don't fall, the Governor will come in without warning and sweep the city before the city council, mayor, police chief etc. can do one thing. I am encouraged by the newly released nola.com article that showed Council Member Lesli's vision. IS WORKING. And that bottom line is all I truly worry about. Her candor, smile and authenticity won me over from the beginning and I am still living for it. THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS! Read the article I spoke about here,  Lesli Harris: New Orleans' homeless efforts are workingThank you to our family of amazing sponsors!

Send us a textThis week we have a couple of great Local interviews! Ochsner Children's Hospital has been one of our anchoring sponsors for years now and for our fifth season, We have created a BRAND NEW SEGMENT called         "A Mother's Giving: & the Milk Bank of Louisiana with Dr. Harley Ginsberg."Dr. Ginsberg is board certified in both pediatrics and neonatal-perinatal medicine and has been on staff at Ochsner since 1987. He served as both the Section Head of neonatal medicine at Ochsner and the Medical Director of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Ochsner Baptist Medical Center from 1989 until 2021. Dr. Ginsberg managed the team at Ochsner that took care of babies during Hurricane Katrina. Currently he is Medical Director of the NICU at Ochsner Kenner Medical Center. Dr. Ginsberg is the Founder and Medical Director of Mothers Milk Bank of Louisiana at Ochsner Baptist and is a member of the Standards Committee for the Human Milk Banking Association of North America. He has written chapters for medical textbooks on neonatology and has published scientific medical in articles in the New England Journal of Medicine, Pediatrics, Journal of Perinatology and Clinics in Perinatology. Fully accredited by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America, Mothers' Milk Bank of Louisiana at Ochsner Baptist was Louisiana's first human milk bank and the 24th nonprofit milk bank in the United States. Preterm infants are at risk for a condition called necrotizing enterocolitis, which results in inflamed intestines, bacterial infection and damage to the colon and intestines. Without proper care, the infant may die.Pasteurized donor human milk helps offset these potential dangers. Unfortunately, some mothers of preterm infants cannot produce their own milk. That's where Mothers' Milk Bank of Louisiana steps in.As of August 2020, Louisiana provides Medicaid coverage for using pasteurized donor human milk in a hospital. In 2022, Louisiana legislators approved inpatient and outpatient coverage for pasteurized donor human milk. Listen as Dr. Ginsberg and I dive into the Milk bank of Louisiana and hear the powerful impacts it has on our community and state! Go to https://www.ochsner.org/services/mothers-milk-bank-at-ochsner-baptist to learn more or to make a donation today!______________________________________________________________________________________________Then later we welcome back DIRTY DOGS! The local documentary making big waves in our city yall. Not only did the documentary chronicle the heated monopoly on New Orleans' food cart licenses for the French Quarter. What WAS a half century monopoly was essentially ended by a group of passionate film makers that felt convicted to MAKE THINGS RIGHT.  I am so excited to welcome restauranteur and host Brad Bohannan and Cinematographer, Adrian Sosebee to talk about their HOLLYWOOD AWARD they just received in  Beverly Hills! Brad also talks to us about his latest venture with his inspirational wife, Jefferson Parrish Council Person, Arita Bohannan. Together and with a village behind them, they work to bring inclusive and autistic friendly playgrounds to neighborhoods and communities tThank you to our family of amazing sponsors!

Engineer Muhammad Ali

Mark 13:1-8As Jesus came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what large stones and what large buildings!” Then Jesus asked him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left upon another, all will be thrown down.”When he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him, privately, “Tell us, when will this be and what will be the sign that all of these things are about to be accomplished?” Then Jesus began to say to them, “Beware that no one leads you astray. Many will come in my name and say, ‘I am he,' and they will lead many astray. When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is still to come. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. This is but the beginning of the birth pangs.” Hooray for a Gospel text about the impermanence and seeming unimportance of temples, stones, synagogues, and buildings on Commitment Sunday for the Building and Outreach Fund. All of this, will indeed, be thrown down and turned to dust someday.But I hope you agree with Jesus, of course.As focused and as fierce as we've been about building this place and paying off our mortgage and all that has gone into that, over the course of our congregation's short life together, we've always tried to be faithful about the truth that the Church is not a building; that our identity and purpose isn't always, ever, or only about having an address, or about merely what happens inside these walls. We were very much “the Church” before we called any of this home and we are very much “the Church” when we're not gathered here. We are very much “the Church” even when – especially when – we're doing our thing, living our lives out there in the world, for the sake of the world. And horray for a text that taps in to so much of the fear, angst and anxiety that so many are feeling about life in the world these days – wars and rumors of wars; nation rising up against nation; earthquakes, famine, natural disasters and more that make you think maybe the beginning of the end might actually be right around the corner.Because of all that, our call is to bring the Kingdom – to see and to celebrate what God has already begun, in Jesus – and work to make God's will and God's way come to life among us and through us and for the sake of the world … here on earth as it is in heaven; to make the Kingdom of this world look and be more like God's Kingdom, on the other side of heaven.Which is why our Building and Outreach Fund matters, as we wonder about and make commitments to support it this morning and in the days to come. Yes, some portion of it all is about the bricks, the mortar, the “stones” that will, one day, all be thrown down and turned to dust, as Jesus promises. But the rest of it is about bringing the kingdom, doing the work, sharing the life and grace and mercy of God wherever and however we are able.Last week, one of my favorite preachers invited us to do a few things in response to the state of things following our country's recent election, regardless of how we may be feeling about all of that. Pastor Cogan suggested that, if things didn't go our way, we should share our fear, our anxiety, and our sadness about that with those who did get what they wanted. And he suggested that, if we are the latter – if things went as we hoped they would – we should listen to the concerns and needs of our struggling neighbors who are feeling scared, unseen, and worried about the days to come.In other words, some of what I heard from Pastor Cogan last week was an invitation to listen to each other and get to work.And I've done that. I've received texts and e-mails. I've had sit-downs over lunch, spontaneous conversations in the library, seen tears in my office, felt the anger expressed – in passing – in the hallway and at the drug store, because there just aren't enough of the right words sometimes.Now, I haven't and I won't have all the answers for all of that at every turn. But I will risk playing both sides against the middle – or something like that, this morning – in order to find a middle-ground of grace and hope no matter where we find ourselves with regard to all of it.See, as I wondered about today – searching for some hope in light of all of our collective mixed emotions (happy/sad, relieved/anxious, victorious/lost, hopeful/despairing) – I came away grateful for this place, for our ministry, and for the work we do that responds with action in real time to the things that can and should concern all of us these days. In an otherwise divided, fractured country, the mission and ministry of this place calls us to some common ground and some holy work.For instance, if it was “the economy, stupid” that informed your vote last Tuesday … if the price of groceries and gas was enough to make you vote a certain way, I'm so glad we have a food pantry that is meeting that need for so many of our neighbors. (Don't forget, our Mission Sunday this month is to provide Thanksgiving dinners for people in our community. $50 bucks will help provide a meal with all the fixins for someone who might not otherwise be able to celebrate.) That is the Lord's work, regardless of your politics.Or if abortion care, abortion access, and the health of women and babies was an issue that inspired your vote – one way or the other – whether you got what you wanted, or not – I hope you noticed that we gave $5,000 to the Milk Bank with our Outreach Grants this year. This is money, and they are an organization, that supports the health and wellness of women and infants, in crisis, in powerful ways – no matter the politics that lead to their distress or need – and that will hopefully help to mitigate more of that distress or need, come what may.If you're concerned about the status of immigration in our country, please know that we gave $10,000 to Exodus Refugee Immigration this past year, thanks to our Outreach grants, too. (And some of us helped at their headquarters on “God's Work. Our Hands.” Sunday, in September.) Exodus protects the human rights and dignity of refugees fleeing persecution and war, and helps them get settled safely in central Indiana. This is faithful, Biblically-mandated, Christ-centered work. And our generosity helps make it happen.If you are concerned about the quality of public education and the equity with which it is offered in our state or in our nation – and some of my favorite teachers have told me that we should be – I hope you're encouraged to know we also gave $10,000 to Brightlane Learning's “School on Wheels” this year. They offer tutoring, academic support, and advocacy to kids and families – grades K through 12 – who are struggling with homelessness and housing insecurity, while trying to get a quality education.If you feel like the status and place of women in our culture has taken a hit again in recent days, I hope you're encouraged by our $10,000 grant to Talitha Koum's recovery house for women. That money and that ministry over in Greenfield helps women, specifically, recover from addiction and trauma, and get back on their feet to become healthy and whole again, for their own good, and for the good of our world.So, again, if our call is to bring the Kingdom of God to bear in and upon the kingdoms of this world, we are doing that in real time, for real people, in real, practical, tangible ways, that really matter.And there are beautiful, faithful, inspiring, intangible ways to facilitate and accomplish that through our life together, too.Witnessing the love between two people – in marriage, as we did this morning already at our first service – is a glimpse and a gift of that, for sure. It speaks to commitment and love and hope in ways that can't be measured, but practiced, nonetheless. Making our confession, receiving our forgiveness; sharing the sacraments in bread, wine, and water and all the good news they portend; passing the peace; loving our neighbor; forgiving our enemy. None of these things can be quantified like so much grant money, but they can be witnessed, felt, received; and they are our life blood, purpose, and inspiration for all the rest.All of this is to say, I see a lot of platitudes and clichés about how we're supposed to get along – as friends, as family members, as neighbors, and as people in the Church in the days ahead – in spite of the differences that threaten to divide us. That is so much easier said, than done – which is something else I hear and feel when I listen to my neighbor, and to many of you.But it's been said that the local church is the hope of the world – and I believe it. It is a tall order. It is a daunting task. It can feel like an impossible, exhausting expectation, for sure. But it is nonetheless why we do what we do – if not to redeem the lot of it, then to point to the hope of the only one who can, who does, and who will, one day – Jesus Christ, our Lord.Amen

Viraj Mane is the co-founder & Chief Scientific Officer at Lactiga, an award-winning, venture-backed biotherapeutics company treating and prevent infections using an unusual but genius method…human milk. That's right, Lactiga uses human breast milk to battle even the world's most dangerous pathogens. It turns out, some people would benefit tremendously from what's found in the breast milk of other humans, and if done right, the power of this novel approach is astounding. Viraj has a PhD in Human Genetics from Baylor College of Medicine, and has completed two post-doc fellowships, including one for the U.S. FDA. After he became a father, he had a strange but brilliant idea after seeing excess breast milk stored in the freezer.

Host Jeremy Quinby has conversations with Director of Minnesota Breastmilk Bank, Linda Dech, Bereavement Donor Coordinator Alexis Nicklow, and donors McKenzie and Adam. Together they discuss how the breast milk donor organization was started and continues to be funded to serve the community. Linda takes Jeremy on a tour of the facility (see link to video in show notes) to show where milk is stored when it's collected, the pasteurization process undergoes and the testing of milk. She also explains the importance of volunteer support to get milk to area hospitals for babies in need.

Breast milk is the ideal food for infants as it provides them with the nutrients and antibodies they need to thrive. But Nigeria's breastfeeding rate stands at a meagre 29 per cent for a myriad of reasons including poor support for breastfeeding mothers and medical conditions. In this episode of our African Changemakers series, Africa Science Focus speaks with Chinny Obinwanne, founder of the Milk Booster breastfeeding company and Nigeria's first milk bank, about the potential of breast milk banks to help address these challenges and improve the health and well-being of infants. We also speak to Olaiya Adegbola about his experience with the breast milk bank as a father in Nigeria.----------------------------------------------------------This project was funded by the European Journalism Centre through the Solutions Journalism Accelerator.

EPISODE SUMMARY:Most people have never heard of a human milk bank. This is an opportunity to learn about a source of nutrition that just about everyone has experienced, but knows little about. Human milk is more than a source of nutrition, it is a medicine for premature infants who will not only survive but thrive if provided with human milk during their earliest days of life. Linda Harelick, MBA, DrPH, has a deep-rooted interest in social impact, shaped by her early experiences as a registered dietitian, which exposed her to the intricate interplay of environmental, cultural, and societal factors on individual potential. Seeking a shift into management, she pursued an MBA from Columbia Business School, a stepping stone to her role at Kraft Foods.

In this episode of BS Free MD, Dr. Susan Landers, a retired neonatologist with over 35 years of experience, talks about her career and her book "So Many Babies". May, Tim and Dr. Landers discuss the challenges of burnout and overwhelm faced by women in the workplace, not just physicians. Dr. Landers shares her experience of getting to retirement and the struggle with burnout. She also talks about the rewarding aspects of practicing neonatology, and how she got to know patients and their families very well. After retiring, Dr. Landers wrote a book based on her NICU stories, "So Many Babies". About Susan Landers: Dr. Landers is a retired neonatologist who practiced in the NICU for thirty-four years. When she joined a practice of nine males in 1997 she slowly brought them into the modern medical world by changing schedules to be more family friendly, talking about coping with sick children, and proved the benefits of hiring other women physicians. Dr. Landers volunteered for the AAP and served on the Section on Breastfeeding's executive committee for six years. She took a slight detour in her career and worked as the medical director of the Mother's Milk Bank at Austin and joined the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine. After she retired she wrote a memoir, “So Many Babies.” Are there any specific questions/talking points you would like to include?: What is a family friendly medical practice? How do women physicians accommodate breastfeeding after return to work? How do women physicians handle the demands of medical practice and burnout differently from men? Links!

This week, Becker Shareholder Kathleen "Katie" Berkey, AICP, sits down with Donna DiMaggio Berger and explains how she helps clients deal with all sorts of issues related to their property. As Mark Twain once said, “Buy land, they're not making it anymore,” and truer words have never been spoken. Land remains invaluable and there is often a developer looking to build, renovate, or demolish any given property. When a project like this commences, it can bring a host of headaches and trouble to those living next door. Katie Berkey is a Florida Bar Board Certified Specialist in City, County, and Local Government Law and is a certified Professional Planner by the American Institute of Certified Planners. Katie is the only practicing professional to hold both credentials in Southwest Florida and one of eight statewide. She represents clients in zoning, land use, and planning matters and represents clients in local government administrative matters before city and county commissions, councils, and boards. Katie has been recognized by various publications and organizations as one of the best lawyers in America, a Florida Rising Star, a member of the Legal Elite, a Legal Up & Comer, one of the Top 40 Under 40, and Woman of the Year!Conversation highlights include:How can volunteer boards, managers, and association residents stay alert to possible land use changes in their vicinity?How to determine if a proposed new development presents an incompatible commercial use with the existing neighborhood?What are typical deal points in a shared use agreement with a developer?How prevalent is the NIMBY (Not in My Backyard) mindset?What kind of next-door development do people fear the most? Why do local building departments often cite the association for certain violations when it might be the owners who created the violation without the association's knowledge or consent?Who should attend a municipal or county Code Enforcement hearing with an attorney? What can be done when a city wants to repave streets in a community or enforce traffic violations but is requiring an onerous indemnification agreement from the association?BONUS: Katie discusses various valuable resources for working moms and discusses her work with the Mother's Milk Bank of Florida.

Gun Violence Is A Public Health Issue As illustrated by the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas this week, gun violence is a pervasive issue in the United States. The entire Science Friday team extends our condolences to everyone affected by this tragedy. One reason gun violence is so difficult to understand is that for a long time, there was a federal freeze on funding gun-violence research. That was due to the “Dickey Amendment” which was instated in 1996. This rule barred the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from using funds to fund research into gun violence, with the reasoning that research into this area would “advocate or promote gun control.” The 2020 federal omnibus spending bill reinstated funding for this research for the first time in more than 20 years, opening up research into gun violence. This comes during a time where healthcare professionals, including pediatricians and epidemiologists, have elevated their voices to say that gun violence is a public health issue. Firearm-related injury is now the leading cause of death of children and adolescents in the United States. Joining guest host John Dankosky to discuss gun violence as a public health issue is Roxanne Khamsi, science writer based in Montreal, Quebec.   Don't Panic About Monkeypox Yet, Says Expert This week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced it was investigating five cases of purported monkeypox that had been found in the United States. This is a disease that's endemic to parts of central and west Africa, and is rarely seen outside of those regions. The small number of cases here in the U.S is unusual. Monkeypox can spread from person to person through skin-to-skin contact or respiratory droplets. Its most striking symptom is an active rash and lesions in the mouth, though can also present as flu-like and include fever, headache, and soreness. As we're still grappling with our COVID world, many people are concerned about this new illness. Dr. Anne Rimoin, professor of epidemiology at UCLA's School of Public Health in Los Angeles, California, joins guest host John Dankosky to explain what's going on with this wave.   Baby Formula 101: Feeding During A Shortage If you're the parent of a newborn, you've likely experienced how difficult it's gotten to find your little ones' favorite baby formula. In February, Abbott Nutrition, a major manufacturer of baby food and formula, shut down a factory in Michigan. This came after the FDA began investigating serious—and even fatal—bacterial infections in infants who were fed formula from the plant. This one factory produces around a quarter of the United States' baby formula, so closing it has left store shelves empty and parents scrambling to feed their babies. In a desperate state, many parents have resorted to switching their babies' formula, seeking out donated breast milk, and even making formula at home. Guest host John Dankosky speaks with Dr. Bridget Young, an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Rochester and founder of Baby Formula Expert, about the makeup of baby formula, why it's so important, and how parents can safely feed babies during the ongoing shortage. Breast Milk Banks Are Struggling To Meet Demand The nationwide shortage of baby formula is also impacting Hoosier families. More than 40 percent of retailers across the country reported being out of formula stock during the first week of May, according to Datasembly, a firm that collects data from grocery stores and other retailers. The Milk Bank is an Indianapolis-based nonprofit that provides donated breast milk to babies in the neonatal intensive care unit and babies with medical needs who benefit from human milk. Advancement Director Jenna Streit said the organization is seeing an increase in requests from families desperate to feed their babies. Read more at sciencefriday.com.   Diving Into The Deep World Of Sharks Sharks are some of the longest-enduring residents of our planet—there were shark relatives in the oceans before Earth had trees, and before the planet Saturn got its rings. But now, many species of shark are threatened, mainly as a result of unsustainable fishing practices. Dr. David Shiffman, marine researcher and social media shark advocate, writes in his new book Why Sharks Matter: A Deep Dive with the World's Most Misunderstood Predator about people's fascination with sharks. He shares some amazing shark facts—did you know that Greenland sharks can live for 400 years, and some have been found with the remains of polar bears in their stomachs? Shiffman joins John Dankosky to share his shark lore, and to talk about the role of sharks in the ocean ecosystem, safety around sharks, threats to their survival, and what individuals can do to help protect these powerful, yet misunderstood, creatures.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.    

@drsusanlanders https://susanlandersmd.com/   Girls who grew up in the 1950s Deep South had little to no cultural nudge to pursue a career in any field, let alone in medicine. This story of Dr. Susan Landers' ability to catapult herself into the world of top-notch academic medicine while mothering 3 children amidst the twists and turns inherent in her physician husband's own advancement is truly something to behold. Did I mention after moving cross country with three little ones, she also pioneered a grant funded Mother's Milk Bank and eventually led the Section for Breastfeeding at the American Academy of Pediatrics? So Many Babies were lucky to have a doctor with so much grit.   Prominent themes in the daily lives of doctors and mothers are the themes of Susan Landers' life: Teaching and Quality Improvement. And she dealt with complications in both. From navigating complex workplace issues beyond patient care to managing crises at home including accidents, behavioral issues, unfathomable nanny emergencies and the teenage years in general. Susan has seen more than her fair share, and So Many Babies is her love letter to any mother tackling medicine and motherhood together.   As she deftly navigated medicine and motherhood, I would argue Dr. Susan Landers is not “Good Enough Mom” as she had to sometimes convince herself, or even “Super Mom” as her husband and children dubbed her one Mother's Day with a glittery homemade broach, but actually "Wonder Woman” complete with bullet proof arm cuffs, a golden lasso and that trulsty invisible jet we all used to want to ride in. Truly, Susan is a superheroine. Not only did she use her super powers to nutture her own 3 children at home, not to mention the countless tiny ones she healed in the NICU, but she shares them again today in So Many Babies as she reassures today's Dr. Moms by revealing her own truths and vulnerability   From Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and self-imposed time-outs to sewing Halloween costumes and eventually sending herself monthly bouquets, Dr. Susan Landers offers today's moms in medicine plenty of actionable ideas to ‘heal the healer' as she explores the fine line between a complete devotion to her patients and the insidious way a medical career can overtake marriage and family life.   After completing medical school in Charleston, South Carolina, Susan moved to Texas and completed pediatrics residency at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, and neonatology fellowship at Texas Children's Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. Dr.Landers practiced full-time neonatology (the intensive care of critically ill premature and newborn infants) for thirty-four years. Initially she worked in academic medicine, on the faculty of two medical schools, Baylor College of Medicine and University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Later in her career, she worked for Mednax, a private neonatology practice in Austin, for twenty-two years. Susan raised three children while practicing medicine full-time. Her children presented her and her physician husband with many challenges over the years, trials and struggles which she considers typical for all working mothers. She wrote a book about her experiences: "So Many Babies: My Life Balancing a Busy Medical Career and  Motherhood." For many years, Susan worked for the American Academy of Pediatrics as an expert in breastfeeding medicine, writing policy and teaching at national conferences. She has been interviewed by many news outlets about her work using donor human milk in the NICU and her work with the Mother's Milk Bank of Austin. She currently resides in Austin, TX.

COVID concerns have begun rising along with case numbers in several parts of the U.S., but local community levels remain in Low range at present. Half of the Austin City Council will not face an unexpected re-election campaign this year after all, as a judge has ruled that redistricting did not disenfranchise voters. Monthly real estate numbers show a new record median home price for Austin: $640,000. As delays return, a new recommendation for ABIA travelers checking bags: arrive at least two and a half hours ahead of your departure time. Teachers working for Lockhart, Hutto, Round Rock, Eanes, Lake Travis, and Hays ISD's will all get raises this year, ranging from 3 to 8% - Austin ISD is still considering what to do. As the national baby formula shortage continues, Mother's Milk Bank in Austin is providing pasteurized milk from mothers who have donated. Dog owners: hot weather early in the year is contributing to a possible high-risk season for dangerous algae in Austin's waterways. An art history professor at UT has helped an archaeological team to identify the earliest-known record of the Mayan calendar system. Austin has dropped out of the top 10 of U.S. News and World Report's "Best Places To Live" - we're now #13. Nevertheless, another new study finds that Austin remains one of the top cities that Americans are moving to - but we've been passed up there too, by Dallas, San Antonio and national #1 Houston. The Paramount Theater's Summer Classic Film Series is set to start its 48th run next week. And, the World Beer Cup craft beer awards were held recently in Nashville, and local winners included Lazarus, Meanwhile, Jester King, and Circle Brewing.

Susan Urbanski, CLS Program Manager at Mothers’ Milk Bank of the Western Great Lakes, joins Lisa Dent to discuss the baby formula shortage and limits.

New antiviral pills to treat Covid are coming thick and fast. Pfizer have just announced their new antiviral Paxlovid in the same week UK's MHRA was the first country in the world to approve Molnupiravir – Merck's pill launched last month. So how do the two antivirals compare? And a report from the longest operating milk bank in North America. Since 1974, the Mothers' Milk Bank in San Jose, California has been collecting breast milk to help nurture vulnerable babies (especially premature ones) at a critical time in their lives. Today it supplies about 500 gallons of breast milk a month reaching over 80% of California's newborn intensive care units (or NICU's) and serves eleven hospitals in other U.S. states, as far afield as New York. Who donates all this milk and how is the milk treated to ensure it's safe and nourishing for babies? Presenter: Claudia Hammond Producer: Erika Wright (Picture: A hand holding pills.
