It Happened To Me: A Rare Disease and Medical Challenges Podcast
We have fabulous guests this episode sharing their expertise about a skin condition called Bullous Pemphigoid: patient advocate Dr. Naomi Bishop and argenx's Associate Director of Global Patient Advocacy Shelley Gerson. Naomi Bishop, M.D. (she/her) is a physician-medical writer/editor with a rich background in the arts. Following a career in dance and graphic design, she pivoted to medicine, where she channeled her fascination with human physiology and commitment to helping others achieve optimal health. With a young family in tow, Dr. Bishop completed the required preparatory courses and attended medical school, where she graduated as valedictorian of her class. She completed her post-graduate training at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Columbia-Cornell, and has cared for children in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs) in several top New York hospitals. Her passion for understanding systems failures led her to seek formal training in Quality Improvement and she served as director of PICU Quality and Performance Improvement for six years. She was recognized by the Solutions for Patient Safety group for her poster summarizing the impact of adding Human Factors Engineering principles to central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) prevention strategies. After witnessing the tragic death of an infant with Alveolar Capillary Dysplasia, Dr. Bishop was awarded a large CDC grant for her project designed to increase awareness of this rare, fatal lung disease. Her research produced what is still the most cited State of the Art Review on the subject. In November 2019, Dr. Bishop pivoted to a career in freelance medical writing and editing, disciplines that combine her insatiable appetite for perusing the medical literature with a dedication to improving communication between healthcare providers, their peers, and the public. Dr. Bishop remains deeply committed to patient-centered, empathic, and ethical care. As a proponent of Design Thinking and Human-Centered Healthcare Design, she strives to leverage her insights and experience to create content that is compelling and instructive. In November 2021, Dr. Bishop was diagnosed with Bullous Pemphigoid, an event that rocked her world and changed her understanding of what it means to be a patient with a rare, chronic disease. Her search for the latest treatments led her to the IPPF, an organization to which she owes boundless gratitude for supporting her journey through treatment and recovery. As of April 2023, her BP is in remission. Dr. Bishop currently shares an empty nest in New York City with her five sun-loving plants. She is a voracious reader and fitness enthusiast and savors her close relationships with her adult son and daughter. She would insist that the Atlantic, New Yorker, New England Journal of Medicine, and a beeline to the IPPF be within reach if she found herself stranded on a desert island. Our second guest is Shelley Gerson. Shelley is the Associate Director of Global Patient Advocacy at argenx. Shelley leads the advocacy efforts for alternative treatments for people living with autoimmune dermatological and hematological diseases. Previously, she worked as a patient advocate at Sanofi and Biogen. Prior to working in the biotech industry, Shelley was a licensed counselor and a private practice therapist. Shelley lives with a severe form of Hemophilia, called Hemophilia A, so she also has a personal perspective of being a patient advocate herself. During the episode both Dr. Bishop and Shelley recommended the International Pemphigus and Pemphigoid Foundation and the Facebook group, Bullous Pemphigoid Warriors.

In November 2021, the San José State University School of Information's Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Committee hosted a symposium in recognition of Native American Heritage Month. This free symposium featured keynote speakers Dr. Ashley Minner, assistant curator for history and culture at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian; Dr. Kim Sellers, associate professor and program director of graduate reading education at UNC Pembroke; Dr. Duane Yazzie, teacher and reading specialist at Tséhootsooi Diné Bi Ołta' School, Window Rock, the Navajo Nation; Dr. Malinda Lowery, historian and documentary film producer, who is a member of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina; and Jody Cummings, JD, Office of Legal Counsel for the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation of Connecticut. The keynote speakers made several observations on the challenges facing the Native American community, such as the common assumption that Native Americans are a race that only existed in the past, specifically the 1800's, their falsified history that has been written by non-Native Americans, the general public being unable to effectively communicate with today's Native Americans, and much more. Suggestions on how libraries can successfully acknowledge and assist this underrepresented community were made by Sheila Gurtu, student outreach specialist and iSchool alumna, who has worked closely with the Circle of Learning project; Valerie Kingsland, program manager for the Impact Library Program and Native Library Initiative at the Little Free Library nonprofit; Naomi Bishop, health sciences librarian at the University of Arizona; and Lynette Dial, youth librarian at Hoke County Public Library and project manager for Reading Nation Waterfall. This discussion included how libraries should add more Native American items to their collections, how library staff should welcome Native Americans as one of their own as opposed to treating them as strangers, effective education services that can benefit the Native American community, and other strategies for success. Native Americans have a powerful presence in the United States both historically and culturally. Their resilience and creativity offer great learning opportunities for non-Native Americans, and it is important for librarians to be the first to extend a helping and collaborative hand to this important community. “Bridging the Past and Future: Improving Library Services for the Native American Community” offers tools and strategies for making effective changes in all American libraries.

On this episode of Never Date a Traveler I discuss feelings of being exotified with dear friends and guests, non-profit exec Jennifer Estrada and writer, creator and university faculty member, Naomi Bishop. These brilliant woman and I discuss our experiences around the world and within the US with the placement and questioning of our identities and how we feel about the word "exotic." **NOTE: When sharing my anecdote about the man from the Dominican Republic and I say "their history." I mean the island's history of racial politics / tensions stemming from Trujillo's systemized racism and the current policies (mass deportations of Haitians) on the island.

Naomi Bishop, a self-made, shrewd and successful investment banker who has made great gains in launching highly successful IPOs, though her most recent less-than-stellar effort, in which she was pulled from representing just before launch, had been seen in the media as a black mark on her career. Her latest client is a potential billion-dollar social-media business named Cachet that prides itself on hiring skillful hackers whose know-how have made its CEO confident that all of its clients data is safe and secure from any and all attacks. The film also spotlights two other women related to the event, Erin, Naomi's protégé in the firm who has been anxiously awaiting seeing more money and opportunities come her way, especially now that she has a baby on the way, and Naomi's friend from way back, Samantha, a federal prosecutor for the Justice Department who has reemerged in her life in her investigation of alleged securities fraud.

It's almost Halloween, so Motherboard is exploring the very nature of fear. Why do we still get scared by things that no longer represent any threat to us? How has technology changed how we feel fear? And what happens in a culture that reveres death? This week, Kaleigh Rogers and Jason Koebler talk with Naomi Bishop, a freelance writer who recently spent time with the Tana Toraja people in Indonesia. In Tana Toraja culture, it's common for families to dress up and take care of the dead corpses of their loved ones, sometimes for many years at a time until a proper funeral can be held.
