The market's reaction, with a potential above-trend yield expectation, suggests a shift towards a less bullish outlook due to improving crop conditions and a less-threatening weather forecast.US Corn Belt Weather: The expected arrival of cooler temperatures could alleviate some stress on crops, potentially supporting crop health if aligned with adequate rainfall. The forecast of more rain in key areas could further stabilize crop conditions, which is critical during the growth phases of corn and soybeans.ADM's Financial Performance: ADM's profit decline reflects broader market dynamics, including global supply pressures and regional shifts in demand. This underscores the interconnected nature of global agricultural markets and the direct impact of international crop yields and trading dynamics on U.S. companies.BP's Profit Performance: In contrast to ADM, BP's better-than-expected profits and dividend increase reflect a different aspect of commodity markets—energy. BP's strategy adjustments, including scaling back some commitments and operations, highlight the ongoing balancing act companies must perform in response to evolving market and regulatory environments.Public Health Initiatives in Agriculture: The CDC's investment in mitigating the spread of bird flu among farm workers is a proactive measure addressing the intersection of public health and agriculture. By focusing on education and preventive measures, there is a clear recognition of the potential risks posed by zoonotic diseases within agricultural settings.Each of these points illustrates the complexities of managing agricultural production, commodity trading, and related industries amid fluctuating market conditions, environmental factors, and global economic shifts. For stakeholders in these sectors, staying informed and adaptable to these dynamics is crucial for strategic planning and operational adjustments.

Each week leading up to the National Sexual Assault Conference, we're sitting down with a different NSAC presenter, highlighting their specialties, what their bringing to the movement to end sexual violence and how they got to where they are.Our third prevention story takes us to the epicenter of where politics are hitting prevention the hardest, the classroom. Organized groups have started weaponizing terms from the anti-sexual violence movement to spread misinformation about the work we do and push us out of the classrooms.We're sitting down with Sarah Ferrato, Manager of Sexual Violence Prevention & Public Health Initiatives at the Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence, to talk about what they and their colleagues are doing to give preventionists the tools to push back.

Dr. Erkeda DeRouen talks to Dr. Marissa Robinson, the initiative coordinator for Ending the HIV Epidemic under the U.S. Department of Health. They talk about how each person can make an impact on public health. [00:38] Introducing Marissa Robinson [04:41] Conducting Meaningful Research [08:33] Ending HIV for Black Women [20:13] The Stigma of HIV [23:55] Choosing a Public Health Advocacy Meaningful Research is Personal For Dr. Robinson's dissertation, she chose a topic that merged her passion for public health and her identity as Black cisgender woman. Hence, she conducted a qualitative study about black women's attitudes and perceptions about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). This medicine has been proven to be 99% effective in preventing HIV transmission. Despite it being approved by the FDA in 2012, the number of Black women who have been using PrEP have not significantly increased. Dr. Robinson's findings have highlighted the need to de-stigmatize infectious diseases like HIV, so we can improve public health.  Making an Impact in Public Health There are a lot of available resources about infectious diseases such as hiv.gov and cdc.gov. Educate yourself about the latest research and talk to people about their experiences with the healthcare system. From there, you can determine how you'd like to help.  Medicine is not the only way to positively impact public health. Explore other avenues and find a niche that matches your skills and interests. This is how each of us can uniquely contribute towards better care. If you still find that medicine is your calling, all these experiences will definitely help you become a well-rounded med school candidate and physician.  You can reach Dr. Marissa Robinson through her LinkedIn, Twitter, or send her an email at drmarissarob@gmail.com.   To learn more about how MedSchoolCoach can help you along your medical school journey, visit us at Prospective Doctor.

The UK has recently passed legislation to force all large business to display calorie information on menus and food labels from April 2022. These rules are intended to help the public to make healthier choices when eating out. But... do they work?Is it a good idea?- 35 million people in the UK are estimated to be overweight or obese (64%).- Could help individuals trying to eat a calorie controlled diet be more informed Is it a bad idea?- Concerns about those with eating disorders.- It's only calories – not fibre, protein, micronutrients etc and simple calorie comparison means nothing – a chocolate bar has fewer calories than a meal with steak, greens and lentils.- Could give a false sense of ‘health' to some – e.g. I've only eaten 500kcals at this meal… - It doesn't teach people anything.- There's more to obesity than calories in, calories out in restaurants.Will it actually help?The research suggests not. Petimar et al (2019) study. After labeling implementation, a level decrease was observed of 60 calories/transaction followed by an increasing trend of 0.71 calories/transaction/week. Also see Cochrane reviews.Why?- Are the diners attending to the information?- Do they understand what calories are?- Do the habituate to the information and no longer attend to it?- Values driving those actions?- Understanding of calories and weight.- Function of eating at restaurants – not for calorie control but pleasure.What to do?- Consider your values…- Decide on what your goals are - Consider how often you eat out. - Is this legislation probably intended for you?- What should the government actually do? Do public health initiatives work in general?- Smoking ban – in 2007 smoking in enclosed spaces became illegal in Britain. In 2006, 22% of adults smoked. 14% in 2019.- Soft drinks industry levy (sugar tax) – manufacturers had to pay a tax for soft drinks with more than 8g of sugar per serving. Forced product reformulation.- Minimum unit pricing (MUP) on alcohol in Scotland. The proportion of people with alcohol dependence typically drinking alcohol reduced substantially, from about 6 out of 10 people before MUP, to about 1 in 10 after MUP was introduced.- Traffic light labelling system - introduced in 2014 - designed to give consumers an immediate idea as to whether something is healthy. The research shows it to be ineffective (Sacks, Rayner, Swinburn, 2009).References:Petimar J, Zhang F, Cleveland LP, Simon D, Gortmaker SL, Polacsek M, Bleich SN, Rimm EB, Roberto CA, Block JP.

Women's rights and their access to medical care can be severely limited. Yet, without the support of local women, efforts to improve public health often fail. With help from The Carter Center, public health initiatives are helping women to achieve better health for themselves and their families as well as become leaders in their communities. Dr. Paul Emerson, director, Trachoma Control Program; Karin Ryan, director, Human Rights Program; and Elizabeth Cromwell, assistant director, Trachoma Control Program — moderated by National Public Radio's health policy correspondent and Rosalynn Carter Fellow for Mental Health Journalism Joanne Silberner — discuss the connection between human rights and good health among some of the world's most impoverished and neglected women.
