The Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) offers valuable experiences and roles, aiding in the journey towards becoming a general surgeon. The process of entering medical school and training to be a general surgery resident can be intricate and challenging, requiring significant dedication and passion for the field. Mentorship plays a crucial role in the medical field, guiding young professionals in their journey and helping them navigate challenges and make strategic decisions. Specialty and subspecialty medical education within the military is structured and organized, offering a clear path for those interested in specific areas of medicine. A research year can provide invaluable experience and insights, especially when pursuing a specific specialty such as vascular surgery. The structure and working of surgery teams are crucial for effective patient care, with each level carrying specific responsibilities. Balancing responsibilities and maintaining relationships is essential in a demanding field like medicine. Becoming a board-certified general surgeon involves various steps, including mentorship, research, and academic focus. Organization and compartmentalization of stressors are crucial for team leaders in medical fields, helping to set an example for the team and ensure ideal patient care.

Have you ever dreamed of being famous? Imagined what it would be like to have all your dreams come true? Recognition, adoration, basking in the limelight. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? But dig a little deeper and you'll find that “The Road To Fame” is a prickly path, filled with twists & turns, backstabbing & betrayals. Experience a captivating journey into fame as the performers of Letters Aloud bring to life personal and illuminating letters from renowned figures like Stephen King, Dorothy Parker, Vincent Van Gogh, Emily Dickinson, Bruce Lee, Oprah Winfrey, and Tom Hanks, and explore the steep cost and evolving nature of what it means to be “famous” from those who have traversed its path. A riotously funny, movingly poignant, and thought-provoking experience brought to life by a gifted ensemble of professional actors, with live musical accompaniment, and a dynamic slide show, “Before They Were Famous” is a show that leaves audiences with smiles on their faces and much to discuss on their drive home. Letters Aloud is a performing arts company that brings to life intimate, thought-provoking, and often humorous stories hidden within private letters of the past. Their performances are a unique combination of literature, theatre, and live music that celebrates the beauty of the written word and the human experience. (If you take NPR's Selected Shorts, cross it with The Moth podcast and add just a pinch of the old A Prairie Home Companion, you pretty much have their show…except, of course, with letters.) They believe that letters are more than just pieces of paper; they are windows into the past, bridges between people, and tools for empathy and connection. Reading them aloud in front of an audience makes for a truly unique and powerful collective experience. Whether you're a fan of literature, history, or simply good storytelling, we invite you to join us on a journey through the written word. Letters Aloud is a celebration of the human spirit and we look forward to sharing it with you.

Katie Wenger experienced an early interest in the field ofPsychology after an engaging high school course on the subject. She thenfollowed that interest which quickly became a passion to Penn State Universitywhere she majored in Psychology and minored in Human Development and FamilyStudies. After learning from some innovative and highly experienced professorsat Penn State, she focused her passion on developing a career in therapy.Attending Temple University where she received a Master's of Social Workdegree, she learned further a broad perspective of the human experience andneeds of individuals, couples and families and how to best support them.Shortly after, she earned her Clinical license and began working in the fieldof individual and couple's therapy. Katie has been practicing psychotherapy for 18 years andeducates clients nationwide through her company, Higher Fulfillment. The materials offered include courses forindividuals and couples, webinars, consultations, the affirmation book, herupcoming book which will be released in April of 2023: Obstacles Under the Surface: How to Keep Your Subconscious from NegativelyImpacting Your Life, and the podcast "Obstacles Under the Surface". Katie's practice is dedicated to helpingindividuals and couples find peace and flourish through relationshipchallenges. About Katie Wenger You are familiar with the dark, difficult stretches of yourthoughts and how you feel lost, confused and unhappy. They seep into your mindset and make you feelunsure and depressed. What if thesethoughts came from patterns that are obstacles to your happiness? In relationships, in life choices, in yourdaily mindset, and in your view of yourself - they cause obstacles. In therapy, you push yourself and try tofigure it out and change it but you keep coming back to that word “stuck” andthings that feel uncomfortably familiar. Sitting at my desk, reflecting on my career and what it hastaught me, my thoughts move to an internal remembrance of clients whoseprogress stalls. They often reportfeeling frustrated and disempowered when they are trying to make change andcan't move forward. Their motivationdwindles. They may doubt themselves. Asa therapist, I challenge them to take time to feel all of this, allow the humancondition, and give space to this experience. This is a time of self-exploration when the emotions eventually largelydissipate. Dig deeper into who you areand what is really holding you back. When you feel like there is something holding you back, youmay be detecting an obstacle that is present but unrecognized. Reaching into therapeutic methods andstrategies and possibly seeing some progress but it is not always enough toregain your happiness or potentially break these patterns. Or you may leave, feeling renewed, and thenfind that you are back in that familiar cycle with that familiar type of personor situation. You may blame yourself butit is the patterns, the obstacles under the surface. You can only make so much change withinyourself. However, if you don't identifythese obstacles through exploration, you will be there again. Let's find your way to move past them forgood. https://higherfulfillment.com/ https://www.facebook.com/katiewengerlcsw/ https://www.instagram.com/therelationshipconsultant/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/katie-wenger-106616111/ https://podmatch.com/guestdetail/1675651141655x860289190361073900

In this episode host Peterson Toscano guides us through an exploration of the role forests play in addressing the causes and impacts of climate change, both in urban and rural settings. Six guests provide personal narratives, expert insights, and actionable strategies that will inform and inspire climate advocates. This episode also delves into Pennsylvania's rich forest history, from its old-growth forests to modern-day conservation efforts, highlighting the legacy of sustainable stewardship by its original inhabitants. Toscano notes, "PA has a legacy of being one of the more heavily-wooded states in the USA... But If you walk through the over 15 million acres of forests in Pennsylvania, only 1% of that is original old growth forest." This fact highlights the dramatic changes our landscapes have undergone and the need for renewed focus on forest conservation. Creating a Campus Food Forest If you want to make a difference on your own campus or in your community, students at Allegheny college have an answer for you. A Food Forest. Ashlynn Peachey, Nicholas Waddington, and Katie Mallory, students at Allegheny College talk about their pioneering Food Forest project. Ashlynn Peachey: "It really started when one student years ago came to Allegheny College with a passion for permaculture... We like to look around the college landscape and see, not what it is, but what it can be." That student, Sebastian McRae, helped to found a campus Sustainable Design Team. Nicholas Waddington, describes their project: "A food forest is a diverse planting... it provides a lot of climate and ecosystem services." He emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between different plant species and their collective role in enhancing ecosystem health. It was at the Northeast Student Farmer Conference held at Penn State University that CCR host, Peterson Toscano attended the students' breakout group about their successes in building campus support for the Food Forest. During the presentation they explain the steps they took to engage stakeholders, to design the Food Forest and to follow through once the project was approved. Their story is a testament to the power of collaborative efforts and the importance of gaining community support. Nicholas Waddington: "From our combined years of engagement with this project, we've really taken away that climate and campus resilience is hugely community-driven... We're stronger and more productive when we work together." In this episode you will learn about sustainable agriculture and permaculture, (a word Bill Mollison coined,) and how you can replicate their success on your own campus or community. Raising the Awareness of a Healthy Forest Sustainability Legacy and our Responsibility Today Former forester and coal miner, Van Wagner, now teaches Agriculture Science at the Area High School in Danville, Pennsylvania. He is also a singer/songwriter and storyteller. Van Wagner offers a historical perspective, emphasizing the longevity of sustainable practices. "I laugh when I read in my textbook, and in the textbook it says that the environmental movement began in 1970 with the first Earth Day... That's not when it started. My German ancestors here in the Susquehanna River Valley, they knew about sustainability, you didn't ruin the family farm, you didn't cut all the trees down." -Van Wagner In order to increase efforts to maintain and protect forests in the US Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Van has committed himself to visiting the highest point in the 67 counties and climbing the tallest tree he can find. Van explains, I'm trying to get the press's attention. And when they stick a microphone in my face, I talk about trees and forestry.” You can follow his progress on the site Van Wagner Highest Climbs. Also, see him climbing in videos on his YouTube channel. Expanding the Legacy of Tree Growing in Small Country Towns and Big Cities Forests and Climate Change: Urban Renewal and Rural Stewardship Taylor Lightman grew up in the Borough of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, (population 5232) “a delightfully cozy little town nestled on the banks, the Susquehanna River, one of the oldest river valleys in the world, older than the Nile.” He then went to college in Northfield, Minnesota and then to grad school in Lund, Sweden where he completed a Master's in disaster risk management and climate change adaptation. Today Taylor is the program Manager for Lewisburg Neighborhoods. He says, “I'm trying to figure out a way to do climate smart neighborhood revitalization. I think there's no better place to do that than in one's hometown” In this episode Taylor talks about the importance of growing trees in towns and cities. "Trees are doing a lot of things for us. Streets with trees on them, the shops do better...people are driving on streets and roads with trees, they behave less aggressively too." His insights reveal the extensive benefits of urban trees beyond just environmental impact. Nerd Corner Dana Nuccitelli considers the question: what are the different ways we would benefit from planting more trees in cities and towns? This question is critical to CCLs healthy forest policy area. In regards to addressing the causes of climate change, Dana says, "Planting more urban trees in the U.S. has the potential to capture up to 100 million tons of carbon dioxide pollution per year." But wait there's more! Urban tree planting offers multifaceted benefits, enhancing climate resilience, physical and mental health, and fostering active lifestyles and community well-being. And there is important work for us to do. Dana says, "But while people in communities with more trees live longer, happier, healthier lives on average, America has a tree inequity problem. Communities of color have 33% less tree canopy on average than majority white communities." To learn more Dana encourages you to visit Check TreeEquityScore.org to see where tree planting would be the most effective in your community to remedy this tree inequity problem.

Some universities are said to have been built on ancient burial sites; others were apparently the scenes of tragic suicides and unexplained deaths. It's probably little wonder, then, that so many college campuses are supposedly haunted. Taking in everything from possessed paintings to mischief-making poltergeists, haunted college ghost legends are as varied as they are chilling. What's more, while some schools seem to shrug off their allegedly haunted histories, others actively embrace the reputations they have for all things paranormal. Students, meanwhile, have turned the humble ghost story into a campus institution, and tales are enthusiastically passed down from each generation of freshmen to the next.

Dr. Peter Arnett, renowned professor at Penn State University and a past president of the National Academy of Neuropsychology (NAN), welcomes the esteemed Dr. Maureen O'Connor to the Brainbeat podcast today. A board-certified neuropsychologist celebrated for her role as the Director of Neuropsychology at the Bedford Veterans Hospital and her position as an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Boston University, Dr. O'Connor's remarkable expertise centers on Alzheimer's disease and her dedicated mission to develop interventions that enhance patient functioning while alleviating the substantial burden placed on caregivers. Together with our host, she delves deep into the crucial realm of caregiving and dementia, illuminating the emotional, mental, and physical challenges that caregivers confront, while also unveiling the invaluable resources at their disposal. Deftly navigating sensitive topics, including driving cessation and end-of-life care, Dr. O'Connor provides indispensable guidance to those grappling with these intricate issues.Her illuminating insights offer a profound understanding of the world of dementia caregiving, a role predominantly shouldered by older adults, often family members who find themselves navigating their own health-related concerns. The episode explores the emotional toll on caregivers, characterized by elevated rates of depression, anxiety, and stress, all while shedding light on the social and financial implications of this pivotal role. Throughout the episode, a resounding message emerges—the paramount importance of caregivers prioritizing self-care. The conversation here today underscores the significance of constructing a robust care team, comprising healthcare providers, friends, family, and support groups, all of whom are indispensable for caregivers to deliver optimal care. As the multifaceted dynamics of the caregiver-patient relationship are unveiled, the ever-evolving nature of this profound connection becomes evident. In essence, this latest episode of Brainbeat imparts invaluable insights, serving as a powerful reminder that caregivers cannot pour from an empty cup, and highlights the critical need for self-care and unwavering support in the challenging realm of dementia caregiving.Episode Highlights:Older adults as caregiversBalancing the care of aging parents with young childrenThe high rates of psychological, social and financial challenges experienced by caregiversBuilding a care teamDifficult conversations around topics like driving cessation and end-of-life careExpanded support to rural caregivers through telehealth servicesPrioritizing self-careThe significant impact of preexisting relationships on caregiving dynamicsQuotes:"You can't pour from an empty cup. You need to care for your own physical and emotional needs.""Often our dementia caregivers are so involved in caring for their loved one that they're not caring for themselves.""Not everybody has WiFi for video visits, but we can also think about telehealth as telephone visits.""These are daughters and sons and spouses and siblings, and that preexisting relationship can be complex, can be challenging.""The relationship between caregiver and patient is a dynamic one, with evolving needs and challenges.""Telehealth services are expanding to support rural caregivers, broadening access to care."Links: National Academy of Neuropsychology Foundation websiteMaureen O'Connor's BU Profile

Load up on those leftovers - because it's surprisingly easy to make your bowl of pasta better for you! In this episode, Michael uncovers how reheating carb-heavy foods actually boosts the resistant starch in them. Resistant starch is a healthy carb that can benefit your gut, reduce blood sugar spikes and lower your cancer risk. Dr Darrell Cockburn, Assistant Professor of Food Science from Penn State University, reveals how these carbs can benefit your microbiome. They discuss why reheating leftovers can not only reduce food waste, but also make your food more nutritious than the original dish!

In this episode of the "Fueling Creativity in Education Podcast," Dr. Matthew Worwood and Dr. Cyndi Burnett are joined by Dr. Colleen Kelley, creator and founder of Kids Chemical Solutions, a comic book-based curriculum for ages 8 to 108. Dr. Kelley shares her unique approach to teaching chemistry, emphasizing the importance of incorporating characters and imagination into the classroom. She believes that without these elements, chemistry remains invisible to students, leading to memorization rather than true understanding. Dr. Kelley highlights the need to nurture students' imagination as an essential skill in science education. She helps students visualize and comprehend complex concepts like molecules by using drawings and characters. She also emphasizes the importance of recognizing that the teacher's level of understanding may not align with their students and provides strategies for creating an "onboarding ramp" to bridge the gap. Furthermore, Dr. Kelley explores the early introduction of chemistry in education and how it can better prepare students for future pursuits. She discusses the intergenerational aspect of learning and encourages parents to engage in creative activities with their children to foster curiosity and understanding of the world around them. Lastly, Dr. Kelley shares her experience developing her comic book curriculum and its impact on students and parents. She emphasizes the power of creativity in addressing instructional challenges and encourages educators to explore different disciplines to stimulate their own creativity. Using storytelling and imaginative approaches, she aims to make chemistry more accessible and enjoyable for learners of all ages. Molecular Literacy Packet Free Audio Books Dr. Colleen Kelley Dr. Colleen Kelley is the Creator and Founder of Kids' Chemical Solutions (www.kidschemicalsolutions.com), which is a comic-book-based curriculum for kids ages 8 – 108. Her journey as a chemist began at The University of Richmond, where she received her B.S. in Chemistry. She fell in love with the world of discovery and research and wanted to continue to explore more chemistry, so she completed her Ph.D. in chemistry at Penn State University at the age of 24. Fast forward 30 years later to the tail-end of her career teaching chemistry at the University of Arizona, Colleen finds herself captivated by the question, “Why do my students think chemistry is SO hard?” She has discovered that learning chemistry is very much like learning how to read, and she created the term Molecular Literacy to describe how chemistry is best understood.
