We are familiar with fungal infections like Thrush and Athlete's Foot, but fungal diseases that can kill are on the increase. The World Health Organisation is so concerned that it has published its first ever list of life threatening fungi. James Gallagher hears stories of hospitals being shut down, a ruined honeymoon and fungal infections that consume human tissue leaving terrible disfigurement. Add to that The Last of Us, a hit video game turned TV series where a parasitic fungus manipulating the brains of ants has jumped to people. Sounds fanciful but while this particular fungus could not cross from ants to humans, Dr Neil Stone explains why invasive fungal infections are on the rise and a potential pandemic should not be dismissed.

Welcome (once again) to this summer retrospective series. One of my favorite things about this podcast is that it's truly a community of guests and listeners, where you often connect with each other, apart from me. When guests share so deeply and vulnerably with us, the listeners, I think it's important to stay in touch and continue to conversation, as much as possible. In this spirit, I reached out to a few guests for follow-up interviews this summer. These interviews are each 30 minutes or less and totally un-edited so you're getting the raw thoughts of both myself and my guests. Today we're bringing back another guest at the request of you, the listeners: Juan Luis Salazar. Juan is one of the most amazing, inspiring people I've met, ever. Period. Full stop. His full interview, which I released almost exactly a year ago today and titled “I Wanted Something Different” is what I consider a must-listen. It shares the story of a very young, very determined Juan choosing a life of hard work and risk to better not only himself, but his entire community. Juan and the brave farmers who chose to join him did something no one in Guatamela has done before OR since - they started a Guatamelan-owned coffee cooperative where they had control over their own wages. When we talked last year, Juan, now living in DC, had opened a coffee shop just weeks beforehand, right in the middle of the pandemic. The goal was to source the coffee from his family's farm first, and later, from the farms in the cooperative. If Juan could take this step, he would be removing the middle man *entirely* from between the farm to the consumer and could guarantee farmers, including his own father, the best and fairest wages they had ever received, changing the lives of their entire families. Today we talk about Juan's progress toward this goal, the way he was threatened by a landlord attempting to illegally break his lease, and the community that has supported Juan and LaCoop Coffee. Just like the original, it's another must-listen episode, so welcome to Juan and welcome to YOU! Listen Now Juan's Original Interview For The Storied Recipe Podcast “I Wanted Something Different” Juan Salazar, Owner of The Only Guatemalan Coffee Cooperative Owned and Operated by Guatemalans How to Connect with Juan Luis Salazar and La Coop Coffee Instagram: @lacoopcoffee Website: www.lacoopcoffee.com More About The Storied Recipe Podcast The concept of The Storied Recipe is unique - every guest gives me a recipe that represents a cherished memory, custom, or person. I actually make, photograph, and share the recipe. During the interview, I discuss the memories and culture around the recipe, and also my experience (especially my mistakes and questions!) as I tried it. My listeners and I are a community that believes food is a love language unto itself. With every episode, we become better cooks and global citizens, more grateful for the gift of food, and we honor those that loved us through their cooking.

The nation is being overtaken by an alien threat that invades bodies, alters minds, and transforms freedom-loving people into a mindless, compliant, conforming mob intolerant of anyone who dares to be different, let alone think for themselves. However, as constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead explains in this week's podcast, while Invasion of the Body Snatchers—the chilling 1956 film directed by Don Siegel—blames its woes on seed pods from outerspace, the seismic societal shift taking place in America owes less to biological warfare reliant on the COVID-19 virus than it does to psychological warfare disguised as a pandemic threat.

The increase in commercial aviation and international travel means that pandemics now spread faster than ever before. Seasonal flu, zoonotic contagions such as Ebola, swine flu and avian flu (e.g. H5N1 and H7N9), respiratory syndromes such as SARS and MERS, and now COVID-19 (the 2019 novel coronavirus) have affected millions worldwide. Add the ever-present threat of terrorism and biological warfare, and the possibility of large proportions of your workforce being incapacitated is a lot stronger than you might think. How would your business fare if 50% or more of your employees, including those you rely on to execute your business continuity plan, were afflicted by illness – or worse? Although nothing can be done to prevent pandemics, their impact can be significantly mitigated. Business Continuity and the Pandemic Threat explains how.

In the first major staffing announcement of his incoming administration, President-elect Biden named Ron Klain, Obama’s ebola czar, as his chief of staff. We had a great conversation with Klain back in April, in which he argued that leadership failure and government unpreparedness made the pandemic much worse in the U.S. Now’s a great time to refresh yourself on this episode if you’re wondering how the Biden-Harris administration will respond to the coronavirus and approach wide-spread economic recovery. Ronald Klain is a lawyer who served as the White House Ebola response coordinator for President Obama. He has held a wide variety of legal and policy positions in government, including his service as chief of staff to VPs Biden and Gore, chief of staff to the attorney general, associate counsel to the president, and chief counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee. After serving as an advisor to the Biden 2020 campaign, he was named chief of staff for the incoming Biden administration.  Twitter: @RonaldKlain Show us some love by leaving a rating or a review!

The rant on this episode:  Trump tells Washington Post’s Bob Woodward that he intentionally played down the pandemic so it wouldn’t panic people.. but a stock market panic is ok if Trump loses? Where in the Sam hell is that Trump healthcare plan he said would be released 2 weeks ago about a month ago? Listen to a constituent of NC Senator Thom Tillis call in asking how she is going to pay for cancer treatment.. That darn dress with a stubborn stain.. now AG Bill Barr is going to take the case from Trump’s personal lawyers and fight it on the taxpayer dime.. Why do you think Trump picked a 4 month eviction moratorium that went into effect last Friday? Here’s a possible scenario and of course, it involves chaos..

Today on the Zeoli Show, Rich discussed the consequences states are facing as Governors are continuing these restrictive lockdowns on people with no real end in sight. He called on the Department of Justice to investigate these Governors to help people out who are hurting more now than before COVID-19. he also discussed the phrases people will never want to hear again and a MSNBC contributor has an interesting stance on the 1st amendment. All that and more on today's show!  Photo: Getty Images. 

Pathogens are inevitable—but the scale of disaster accompanying this pandemic was not. Ronald Klain, President Obama’s Ebola czar, joins Nick and Goldy to discuss why the extent of economic collapse and deaths we’ve seen from COVID-19 is borne of government unpreparedness and leadership failure, not fate.  Ronald Klain is a lawyer who served as the White House Ebola response coordinator for President Obama. He has held a wide variety of legal and policy positions in government, including his service as chief of staff to VPs Biden and Gore, chief of staff to the attorney general, associate counsel to the president, and chief counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Nas últimas semanas vimos a mídia atacar os probióticos por causa de um novo estudo que foi publicada na revista Cell em setembro de 2018. Algumas dessas manchetes foram: "Probióticos podem não ser tão eficazes quanto os cientistas acreditavam" publicado na Veja Online; "Iogurtes ditos saudáveis 'são perda de dinheiro e fazem mais mal que bem'", publicado na Notícias ao Minuto; "Estudos colocam em dúvida eficiência de probióticos – Veja!", no site Notícia Alternativa. Algumas dessas notícias são sensacionalistas e não apresentam uma análise precisa que o assunto requer. Por isso, no episódio de hoje, analisamos o artigo "Post-Antibiotic Gut Mucosal Microbiome Reconstitution Is Impaired by Probiotics and Improved by Autologous FMT", em português “A reconstituição da microbiota da mucosa intestinal pós-tratamento com antibióticos é dificultada por probióticos e acelerada por transplante de microbiota fecal autólogo”, que levantou esses questionamentos. No Microlitros de Notícias, temos novidades sobre um novo teste para a detecção de dengue e zika, chamado SHERLOCK e HUDSON e vamos ouvir notícias de uma doença do passado mas que está sempre à espreita, a gripe Espanhola. Na Filogenia da Ciência, apresentamos a vida da genial Barbara Mclintock que se confunde com a história da genética moderna. E o calouro Gabriel continua a procura de um estágio, dessa vez tentou a sorte em um laboratório no departamento de imunologia, será que ele conseguiu? Afinal, probióticos funcionam ou não funcionam?   Tópicos comentados nesse episódio Probióticos 4 alimentos que são probióticos Microbiota Prebióticos Psicobióticos Simbióticos Antibióticos Transplante de microbiota fecal autólogo Transplante de fezes Detecção de Dengue e Zyka SHERLOCK e HUDSON Gripe Espanhola Bárbára Mclintock XXIV Semana de Microbiologia e Imunologia da UFRJ Inscrições para o II Workshop on Inflammation, clique aqui Acessem o site de nossos queridos colegas: Tira o Jaleco e História da Ciência   Referências desse episódio 2018.
