And they are looking for volunteers to send their cat's poop and help answer the question.

Today, we begin with a conversation about the violence interruption program Safe Streets. It's a central fixture of the Group Violence Reduction Strategy that Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott has implemented to reduce violence in our city. Safe Streets has operated in some areas for 15 years, providing credible counselors, known to their communities, who help diffuse tense situations and help people resolve conflicts peacefully. Last week, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Center for Gun Violence Solutions released a report assessing the effectiveness of Safe Streets. It concludes “that there is evidence that Safe Streets has yielded important reductions in homicides and nonfatal shootings.” Dr. Daniel Webster, a distinguished research scholar at the Center for Gun Violence Solutions. is the lead author of the report, called Estimating the Effects of Safe Streets Baltimore on Gun Violence.  Professor Daniel Webster join us on Zoom.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode Doctor Beep and Nurse Claire join the conversation to discuss, dissect, and demolish the quivering request in a piece published in The Atlantic that we have a “COVID Amnesty” — that the same people who wanted you to lose your job, bar you from shops and restaurants, wanted you TO DIE, now want to say “Okay, yeah, you were right — are we cool now?” Ideas, opinions, and policies have consequences and it would be a miscarriage of justice to ignore the evil that was done in the name of fear (at best) or malice (definitely likely in some cases). And lest we forget: death comes for us all so remember the souls who have gone before us and are now in Purgatory: pray for them because many of us will be there soon enough!

The NIEHS Superfund Research Program (SRP) Progress in Research webinar series highlights promising research from SRP Centers awarded grants in 2020. In this session, awardees from Harvard School of Public Health, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and University of Arizona will describe their research projects, accomplishments, and next steps. The Harvard School of Public Health Center, "Metals and Metal Mixtures: Cognitive Aging, Remediation, and Exposure Sources (MEMCARE)," focuses on understanding the effects of exposure to heavy metals (Pb, As, Mn, Cd, Cr, and Se) and metal mixtures on late-life cognitive health. Center scientists also conduct research on remediation strategies for these exposures to reduce the risk of cognitive decline and memory loss in older populations. The University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill SRP Center works to address public health challenges related to inorganic arsenic (iAs) contamination of private drinking water wells. Their research explores the biological mechanisms and susceptibility factors underlying diseases associated with iAs exposure, with a focus on diabetes. They also investigate methods for predicting well water contamination by arsenic and other toxic metals, along with removal strategies. Center scientists hope to develop interventions to reduce the prevalence of iAs-associated diabetes and other diseases. The University of Arizona SRP Center, "Exposures, Health Impacts, and Risk for Mine Waste Contamination," is addressing the unique human health risks encountered in the U.S. Southwest, where distinct geologic and climatic attributes affect human health and exposures to a variety of toxicants, especially arsenic. Arsenic exposure has been linked to the development of diabetes which is especially prevalent in vulnerable populations residing near metal-mining sites. Center scientists are investigating how chronic exposure to arsenic-containing mine waste contributes to the development of diabetes and how exposure can be prevented through a combination of innovations related to the characterization of legacy mine sites and remediation strategies, data science interoperability, and community-engaged health promotion.

What truths does a secret hide? If the secret only hides itself, it can be used for good or ill. But sometimes, a secret can be used to reveal a greater truth. Such is the case with the secrecy that Jesus kept around his identity during his ministry. As Rev. Tom describes, Jesus did not seek the limelight as a healer. Many came to him to be healed, but this pointed the way towards Jesus' deeper ministry — the healing of people's spirits in selfless love. Not only did he quiet those whom he healed, but also those who would proclaim him king. To quote C. S. Lewis: "Enemy-occupied territory — that is what this world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed — you might say, landed in disguise." As Rev. Tom notes, the works of the Christian community — if they follow the works of our Lord — are formed in a new Spirit that is "healthy, creative, caring, peaceful and generous." This Kingdom of God comes in secret, to subvert the ways of this world with the ways of love.

If you are not familiar with the reasons for participating, here is a great article with “19 Reasons Why.” Michael Pollan, a long-time New York Times Magazine contributing writer and author of many books on food including The Omnivore's Dilemma, says this about the benefit of this change: “Even one meatless day a week - a meatless Monday, which is what we do in my household - if everybody in America did that, that would be the equivalent of taking 20 million mid-size sedans off the road.” And finally, here's a link to recipes to help support this change. The Peace and Justice Committee hopes you join us in this step of Environmental Justice for our planet. Every meatless meal makes a difference.
