Podcasts about policy innovation

This week on The Gritty Nurse Podcast, we're diving deep into a topic that's should not be considered revolutionary--but is fundamentally human and morally ethical: the idea that a safe, stable and affordable housing should be considered a prescription for health. Medicine is not just about pills and procedures – it is about examining and dealing with humans and their entire situations. We discuss the profound impact of social medicine and how addressing the root causes of illness, like housing insecurity, can transform individual well-being and public health and improve healthcare outcomes overall. Joining us this week is Dr. Andrew Boozary, a leading voice in healthcare advocacy and social medicine. Dr. Boozary will unpack the compelling evidence linking housing to health outcomes, from chronic disease management to mental wellness. We'll explore innovative programs where housing is being integrated into healthcare solutions, and challenge the traditional boundaries of what it means to truly care for a patient. Tune in as we discuss: The core principles of social medicine and why it's gaining traction in healthcare. The state of homelessness in our in the GTA and how current trends reflect broader issues. How homelessness is a profound health crisis,and the economic impact it has. The biggest challenges to achieving truly equitable housing for all. Why housing is fundamentally a human right, and what that truly means for policy and practice. Inspiring wins and success stories, like the impactful work of Dunn House, demonstrating what's possible when we prioritize housing. Practical actions the average person can take to support those who are unhoused in their communities. Get ready for a thought-provoking conversation that will make you rethink the very definition of healthcare and the essential role of social determinants in fostering a healthier society.

The word "bureaucracy" conjures up images of red tape and long lines at the DMV, not cutting-edge innovation. But some of the most significant scientific and health innovations of the past century have actually come from scientist-bureaucrats at government research institutes.  On this episode, host Jason Lloyd is joined by Natalie Aviles, an assistant professor at the University of Virginia and author of An Ungovernable Foe: Science and Policy Innovation in the US National Cancer Institute. Aviles explains what the National Cancer Institute does and how the mission and culture of the agency have enabled its scientist-bureaucrats to conduct pioneering cancer research, such as the invention of the human papillomavirus, or HPV, vaccine.  Resources: Check out Natalie Aviles's book, An Ungovernable Foe: Science and Policy Innovation in the U.S. National Cancer Institute, to learn more about the NCI.  Read “How Federal Science Agencies Innovate in the Public Interest” at Issues.org to learn more about the development of the HPV vaccine and the importance of agency discretion.

Critics of the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision clarifying presidential immunity are making outrageous claims, such as that a president can go much further than merely jailing critics of climate policy, as RFK Jr. famously suggested; now, hysterical partisans claim that the court just authorized POTUS to vaporize political enemies with the Navy Seals - at will. Brett Tolman, former U.S. Attorney, joins Jacki to debunk this brazenly false assertion. Tolman explains that Presidential Immunity is a long-established legal doctrine that has served us well for years - regardless of what non-lawyer commentators and even some court jesters have claimed. Tolman comments on the opinion of former S.D.N.Y. federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy that the U.S. Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity could end 80% of the political lawfare. - - - - - Dr. Merrill “Buddy” Matthews of the Institute for Policy Innovation joins Jacki to share the news that the U.S. has set yet another record in oil & gas production, once again disproving the “green” doomsayers who tried to discourage investment, claiming these would be “stranded assets” by now, having become obsolete in the “green” energy transition… that never was.   X: @JackiDailyHost TruthSocial: JackiDaily Rumble: TheJackiDailyShow YouTube: TheJackiDailyShow Instagram: JackiDaily Facebook: The Jacki Daily Show

More than one third of the world's 2,000 largest publicly traded companies have made some kind of net-zero commitment, and the list is growing quickly. A critical part of those corporate plans will be securing cleanly sourced electricity for their energy needs, but that requires that there is enough fossil-free electricity available on the grid for every company that prefers to use it. In 2021, renewable energy and nuclear power, combined, accounted for only about 37% of global electricity production. How can a company ensure that their electricity comes from among those fossil-free sources? And how can companies encourage the growth of clean electrical capacity, so that it will meet the growing demand of consumers?These kinds of questions are exactly what Doug Miller, Deputy Director of Market & Policy Innovation at the Clean Energy Buyers Institute (CEBI), aims to answer. CEBI is a non-profit organization that collaborates with policy makers, leading philanthropies, and energy market stakeholders to identify and expedite the implementation of clean energy market solutions. They have also worked closely with the World Resources Institute (WRI), who designed the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the most commonly used standards for companies to assess their carbon emissions impact. Doug joined Climate Now to explain what those standards are, why they are evolving, and some of the innovative tools that CEBI has identified that could be incorporated into the GHG Protocol to help both national electricity grids and the companies that use them achieve their decarbonization goals faster.Follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.Contact us at contact@climatenow.comVisit our website for all of our content and sources for each episode.

Swimming upstream, or against the current, is typically not beneficial unless you are salmon. Yet, we often do so when it comes to public policy, and this is quite evident in energy policy. We have reliable, clean, affordable, and safe energy resources and technology, yet we insist on promoting, subsidizing, and mandating technologies that are less reliable and efficient. How can we stabilize our energy grid while using all relevant technologies to maximize benefits for consumers, businesses, and our nation? Wayne B. Stoltenberg, Linda's guest, has decades of experience in the energy industry and is Chairman of the Institute for Policy Innovation. His common-sense policy recommendations provide win-win solutions for creating a secure and prosperous future. ©Copyright 2023, Prosperity 101, LLC -------------------------------- For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To  order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.

News and open phones start the morning off, Dr. Matthews from Institute for Policy Innovation wonders where all the government workers have gone...really!

Jacki is joined in studio by Dr. Merrill Matthews of the Institute for Policy Innovation to review his newest Wall Street Journal opinion piece answering the question: “Why are Energy Companies not Producing?” - - - - - Dr. John Staddon, Professor of Biology and Psychology Emeritus, Duke University, author of over 200 scholarly works and nine books, joins Jacki to discuss his newest book, Science in an Age of Unreason. Dr. Staddon examines the relationship between religion and science, the history of science, how the single funder (government) model of science funding has compromised research integrity such that the results of most studies cannot be replicated, and how this leads to misguided policy with climate, pandemics, 2A, etc. - - - - - Why has Biden done a 180-degree reversal on fossil fuels? On the campaign trail he vowed to end U.S. fossil fuels, but now he is condemning energy companies for not producing or refining enough fossil fuels. Jacki gives her take on Biden's new plan to do a federal gas tax holiday in advance of the election, his reversal on fossil fuels, and his plans to double down on electric vehicles and ethanol.
