How an urgent need to make can lead to simple, accessible tools and methods.  Open pit fire the wild clay you harvested and processed with us earlier in the Season - if you don't have land, use a trashcan!  Can your earthenware make the transition to becoming ceramic?  Emily shares her artistic process and methods as a ceramic artist.    This is Part 3 of a three-part making exercise over the season of the show – harvesting wild clay (Ep 2), processing wild clay (Ep 11) and firing your wild clay in an open pit (Season finale and Part 3).   About Emily:  Emily Brownawell is a New York based ceramic artist. She earned her MFA in Ceramics at the State University of New York at New Paltz. Grants and fellowships include the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts Technical Assistant, Andrah Scholarship, Research and Creative Projects Award, Bolton Scholarship, and the Virginia Fuller Prize.  She has exhibited at the Dorsky Gallery Curatorial Programs, The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, Williamsburg Arts and Historical Center, and Pittsburgh Center for the Arts.   Raised by oceanographers across the street from an intertidal region of Long Island Sound, the marine ecosystem played a powerful role throughout her childhood and continues to inform her practice through visual inspiration and systems of organization. Her work focuses on the physicality of the landscape. In her practice, the ceramic process represents a transformation of natural materials into objects of culture and records of time. Through ceramic sculpture and installation, she explores various relationships between natural and synthetic processes.  www.emilybrownawell.com instagram.com/emilybrownawell/ Music credit: "Song We Came To Sing" by Living Roots livingrootsmusic.com

Robotics and education fanatic, Jacob Hanchar, joins Jim Barnish on this episode of The Dirt. Jacob shares how his view of “micromanagement” has changed to a positive one in the last few years. His experience says: there is a time and a place for more micromanagement in business. Oftentimes in the early stages of a business, you must have a more hands-on approach because delegation may get you in trouble if folks are not properly trained.Jacob learned this lesson first-hand and after a rigorous amount of cleanup Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and overtraining are now the norm.Jacob started as a Ph.D. in neuroscience, more specifically neuropharmacology, where he developed and patented a drug that got rid of hangovers (Read more about Kudzu here if interested..). In starting a lab, he realized it was a lot like a business, which motivated him to go back and get his MBA. Join us to hear Jacob's journey which is not your run-of-the-mill entrepreneur. 3 Key TakeawaysThere is a time and a place for appropriate micromanagement. Training, training, training! The less training you do now, the more mess you will have to clean up later. Just do it now.Find a cofounder who's like-minded, but different enough to cover the blind spots.

Jacob received his doctorate in 2007 from the University of California Los Angeles where he focused on research in biological sciences.

When we hear the word research, most of us think of innovative breakthrough treatments and technologies. But applied clinical research could not be possible without another type of research called basic science research in which scientists study the fundamental processes of the human body. In this episode, we'll learn what basic science research is and how it applies to the area of kidneys and kidney disease.   In this episode, we spoke with: Hannah Wesselman Hannah Wesselman is a PhD candidate at the University of Notre Dame studying the genetic mechanisms underlying kidney development in Dr. Rebecca Wingert's lab. Prior to her dissertation work, Hannah worked with Dr. Larissa Myaskovsky at the University of Pittsburgh Center for Research on Health Care, and their collaboration continued as Dr. Myaskovsky moved to the University of New Mexico Center for Healthcare Equity in Kidney Disease. During this time, Hannah worked directly with kidney transplant patients, and later published in CJASN on social determinants and race disparities in kidney transplant. Inspired by the strength of the kidney community, Hannah has returned to bench science in the hopes of identifying new treatment targets and has continued to connect with kidney patients through NKF advocacy. Holly Kramer, M.D., MPH Holly Kramer, M.D., MPH, is a practicing nephrologist who conducts research connecting nutrition and kidney health. Her connection to the National Kidney Foundation was inspired by her mom, who was a dialysis nurse and helped create some of the first dialysis units in Northwest Indiana. Dr. Kramer finds being on the NKF Board important, because it is the largest, patient-centered organization focusing on kidney disease. Her long-term goal is to increase national funding for kidney disease research and to heighten awareness about chronic kidney disease. Joseph V. Bonventre, M.D., PhD Dr. Bonventre is the Samuel A. Levine Distinguished Professor of Medicine and Constantine L. Hampers Distinguished Chair at Harvard Medical School and Professor of Health Sciences and Technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is Chief of the Renal Division and Founding Chief of the Engineering in Medicine Division of the Brigham and Women's Hospital. In addition to his B.S. with distinction in Engineering Physics from Cornell, Dr. Bonventre holds M.D. and Ph.D. degrees in Biophysics from Harvard University.  He has honorary doctorate degrees from Mt. Saint Mary's College and from the Norwegian Institute of Science and Technology in Norway. He was Director of the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology for 10 years.    Additional resources: Kidney Research NKF Research Connect NKF Patient Network Become an Advocate   Do you have comments, questions, or suggestions?
