POPULARITY
As the demand for Career Tech education continues to grow in Ohio, Career Tech programs continue to struggle to attract and retain educators to serve students because of problems with the way most salary schedules are structured. Career Tech educators often have years or decades of prior experience in the private sector - and the expertise they can share with their students is invaluable as a result - but many do not have the advanced degrees that other educators who took a more traditional path to the classroom often do, so Career Tech educators' salaries often don't reflect the value they bring to our schools. The Greene County Career Center Education Association recently bargained a new kind of salary schedule and new contract language to change that, and now they're hoping other local associations will follow their lead.SEE THE GCCCEA COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT AND SALARY SCHEDULE | Greene County Career Center Education Association President Doug Picard is happy to show other local leaders what his association accomplished in its latest negotiations and share his insight about how it could be replicated for other educators across the state.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Jan 12th Publish Date: Jan 11th HENSSLER 15 From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Friday, January 12th and Happy heavenly Birthday to boxer Joe Frazier. ***01.12.24 – BIRTHDAY – JOE FRAZIER*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett commissioners will vote on 'intent' to call for transit referendum on Tuesday Inflation causing 6 in 10 millennials to treat themselves at home more Mill Creek Grad Making Her Mark at Kennesaw State University All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett commissioners will vote on 'intent' to call for transit referendum Gwinnett County commissioners are taking steps towards a November referendum that could decide the fate of the county's transit system. The required meeting with city leaders was held last Tuesday, and a key vote is scheduled for this Tuesday to begin the formal process of calling for a referendum. The vote will determine whether to hold another vote in spring to officially call for the referendum in November. If approved, Gwinnett voters would decide whether to implement a 1% special sales tax for transit expansion. The proposed plan focuses on buses, microtransit, and bus rapid transit, excluding rail expansion. The new transit plan aims to address previous concerns and has garnered support from city officials. STORY 2: Inflation causing 6 in 10 millennials to treat themselves at home more Based on recent findings, it appears that a significant number of millennials are opting for special nights in with self-pampering rather than dining out. This trend seems to be driven by the rising cost of living and inflation, with 63% of millennials attributing their preference to these economic factors. Despite these challenges, they are willing to spend approximately $160 on a special meal at home for two, indulging in items like seafood, stuffed olives, and chocolates. The study also noted a growing interest in experiential eating at home, such as creating wood-fired pizzas and assembling charcuterie boards. Interestingly, the survey revealed that millennials are three times more likely to treat their partner to a special meal at home than themselves. As for cheese-related preferences, the study indicated several misconceptions among respondents, although the specifics were not detailed. STORY 3: Great Chemistry: Mill Creek Grad Making Her Mark at Kennesaw State University Ra'Nya Malone, a biochemistry major at Kennesaw State University, credits a high school English essay assignment, a love for science, and her aunt's influence for her academic journey. Her essay led her to interview her aunt's classmate, Dr. Carl Saint-Louis, KSU's assistant professor of chemistry. Joining Saint-Louis' lab, Malone co-authored a published paper and participated in a National Science Foundation-sponsored Research Experience for Undergraduates. She presented her research at KSU's Symposium of Student Scholars and impressed scientists at conferences, securing two summer REU opportunities. Malone envisions a future in pharmaceuticals, driven by her passion for the positive impact of chemistry on the world. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We'll be right back Break 2: GCPS – TOM WAGES – INGLES 7 STORY 4: Americans take this long to give up on their health resolutions A survey of 2,000 Americans who work out at least once a week revealed that the average active American would abandon their health-related resolutions about seven weeks into the new year. Of those surveyed, 29% confessed they would last less than a month on their resolutions. The research found that definitions of "unhealthy" foods varied, with 1 in 6 mistakenly believing all high-calorie foods are unhealthy. Some respondents associate healthy eating with avoiding carbs (24%) or sacrificing taste (18%). The study, conducted by OnePoll for egglife, highlights the diverse perspectives on health and nutrition and the challenges individuals face in making lifestyle changes. STORY 5: Will this be the year Georgia Republicans soften decade-long refusal of full Medicaid Expansion? Georgia House Speaker Jon Burns has indicated openness to exploring a "private option" for Medicaid expansion, a shift from the state's decade-long rejection of full expansion under the Affordable Care Act. Burns mentioned the possibility of expanding access to health care through a private option for lower-income working families, emphasizing a fiscally responsible approach to lower premiums. Georgia is one of 10 states that have not fully expanded Medicaid, and discussions around a potential private option represent a significant departure from previous Republican positions. Any proposal would likely involve changes to the state's certificate-of-need program. We'll be back in a moment Break 3: ESOG – DTL – JACKSON EMC STORY 6: Advocates concerned about proposed change to Coastal Georgia marsh protections Coastal Georgia regulators are considering changes to a rule designed to protect the state's marshes, a crucial buffer against storms and rising sea levels. The proposed change focuses on a 50-foot buffer measured from the "upland component" of a project with a Coastal Marshlands Protection Act (CMPA) permit. The amendment aims to exempt small projects from the upland component buffer requirement to address concerns about the burden on homeowners. Critics argue for a broader review, emphasizing the potential impact of bulkheads on the marsh and the need to reconsider development close to the marsh. Public comments on the proposal are accepted until January 19. STORY 7: Northeast Georgia Health System receives national recognition for simulation center The Northeast Georgia Health System's simulation center has received accreditation from the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, recognizing its commitment to providing a safe environment for healthcare professionals to practice skills in a simulated clinical setting. The accreditation ensures improved patient outcomes, reduced costs, and positions NGHS as a trusted institution for healthcare education. The Becker's Hospital Review also named NGHS among 34 hospitals and health systems with outstanding simulation and education programs, acknowledging its partnerships with high schools, colleges, EMS, and law enforcement agencies to train various healthcare professionals and students. We'll have final thoughts after this. Break 4: Henssler 60 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

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.

Dr. Hannah Schacter grew up in the Boston area and in a family where both parents were psychologists, so she was exposed to the field at an early age. She recalls being very interested in the idea of data and learning about other people. She states, “I remember being in fifth grade and taking surveys of things like people's favorite ice cream flavor in my class.” As she got older, she developed an interest in working with children. She worked at summer camps and babysat, and it wasn't until she attended college where she had the opportunity as a psychology major to merge her interests by studying child development and developmental psychology. In this podcast, Dr. Schacter shares many experiences related to her academic and professional journey to help those interested in the field of psychology gain perspective, learn from her experiences, and how best to navigate the journey. Throughout our discussion, Dr. Schacter provides copious practical advice and even shares some moments that helped shape her interests, direction, and choices regarding which university to attend for her undergraduate and graduate career as well as how she conducted the process related to searching for graduate schools and programs. Dr. Schacter is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Wayne State University and Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Merrill Palmer Skillman Institute for Child & Family Development. She is also the Director of the Adolescent Relationships in Context Lab (ARC). Dr. Schacter started getting involved in research during her undergraduate career at Hamilton College in Clinton, NY. During our discussion, she explains why she travelled from the East Coast to the West Coast to attend UCLA for her graduate degrees (MA and PhD) in developmental psychology. She also discusses how she found various opportunities as an undergraduate and graduate student as well as how she found her postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Southern California. For example, she shares how she became an undergraduate research intern at Yale University by applying for the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program through the National Science Foundation. Dr. Schacter explains the various ways of finding a postdoc fellowship. She explains one way of finding funding for postdoctoral researchers on the NSF website. In today's environment, more and more academic institutions expect that you have postdoc experience before applying for a faculty position. She states, “I would say it has become increasingly common and I would also probably say it's more common than not to have postdoc experience before entering a faculty position.” Dr. Schacter shares her advice regarding how to best select your graduate school or program. She states, “I think so much of a PhD is really what you make of it” and “ I think it's less about, you know, making the right choices and more about making a choice that feels like a strong fit.” She also points out that there is an interpersonal aspect of selecting your graduate program and mentor. She suggests that you ask yourself “is this someone you want to work closely with for, you know, 5-6 years? That's, that's an important factor as well. Do you get along? Do you feel like they're going to be a supportive mentor?” In response to my question regarding how to keep students motivated and passionate about their studies and their research, Dr. Schacter suggests immersing yourself in your work and surrounding yourself with other students, people, and mentors in the field. She also reminds us that some schools have Psi Chi, which is a society for students in psychology, and this can be used to help keep you focused and expand your knowledge and network. Near the end of our discussion, she offers some additional advice for those interested in the field of psychology. She states, “I think talk to as many people as you can, especially, you know, if you're,
Dr. Will H. Flanagan will discuss proposed nuclear safeguards for mass-produced nuclear energy and the risks involved in doing so. About the Lecture: In the nuclear era, a single weapon snuck through a border is able to significantly shift geopolitical balances. In 2007, Congress mandated the use of radiation detectors on all inbound containers but there is currently no way effectively meet this goal. Nuclear safeguards exist at all major ports of entry, though they are not always able to scan every item of cargo. Cerium Laboratories is addressing one aspect of this problem by producing a semiconductor-based “neutron intercepting system on a chip” (NISoC). Such detectors are made a modern semiconductor fabrication facilities in batches of 10,000 with a cost of a few dollars per device. This has the potential to shift nuclear safeguards in a direction where a detector can be placed on every inbound container ship. The current status of this effort will be discussed as well as future prospects. About the Speaker: Dr. Will Flanagan received his undergraduate education at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Lured from astronomy research by the fascinating connection between cosmology and particle physics, he began doing Large Hadron Collider (LHC) phenomenology at Texas A&M through a summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) internship. Dr Flanagan later returned to Texas A&M for his PhD, searching for dark matter at the CMS experiment along the LHC beam line. His hitchhike through the field of particle physics has included various neutrino experiments as well as development of novel particle detectors. Dr Flanagan's current focus is developing a solid-state neutron detector with Austin-based Cerium Labs. The team recently completed a short journal publication and is actively developing future prototypes with applications from nuclear nonproliferation to hydrogen exploration. Before joining Cerium, Dr. Flanagan was an assistant professor at University of Dallas and remains an affiliate professor there with an active lab. Dr. Flanagan is also a member of the Texas Army National Guard as is currently activated to teach physics at the United States Military Academy at West Point. ***Learn more about IWP graduate programs: https://www.iwp.edu/academic-programs/ ***Make a gift to IWP: https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=E231090&id=18

Interviewing People My Research Experience -By SP Umar Riaz.
Growing up Sarah had two subjects that she enjoyed—writing and biology, and while everyone was sure she would become a writer, Sarah had several mentors along the way that nurtured her love for science and discovery. And now, Sarah works in the best of both worlds, in science communications. Shekerah and Fatu continue their conversation with Dr. Sarah Ellinwood, Managing Editor at BioBuzz and Workforce Genetics on how she got to where she is now. As an undergrad at Roanoke College, Sarah was initially in pharmacy and in her sophomore year things took a turn when she was exposed to hands-on bench research. Working with a professor, she contributed to research exploring environmental impacts on fish populations. Later on, she participated in a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Through this program, she worked in a protein biology lab at the University of Michigan; this ultimately became the deciding factor to convince her to go to graduate school. Early on in her grad program at the University of Maryland, Sarah was certain that she did not want to stay in academia, but she did not know of any alternative career paths other than industry. By chance, after returning to her alma mater for an alumni event with current students, Sarah was introduced to the field of science communications. After completing her doctorate, she found interesting roles as a medical writer and communications consultant for biotech companies, before joining BioBuzz and Workforce Genetics. It was a winding, bouncy road through the trenches, but she made it!

Dillon Jones (@dillonthebiologist) is quickly becoming one of my favorite people. He's energetic, fun, and bursting with creative ideas for making conservation better, especially through technology. We talk about everything from using ziplines to survey turtles, decentralizing traditionally bureaucratic ways of doing science, using ecotourism and travel to benefit conservation, science misinformation and handling haters and trolls, the connection with geotagging and white supremacy (jk- there is none), and a whole host of other innovative topics. I'm not sure how he does it all – there's so much packed in here and I hope you glean something fresh and revolutionary from it! It's a long one for sure but most podcast apps give you the option to speed it up, so listen to the whole thing, mmk? It's worth it, trust me. :)And at the very end I talk about my idea for a field biology reality show, so: Nat Geo, Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, if you're listening, hit me up.

Gabby Moreno is a senior studying Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology. Tune in to learn about Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) through the National Science Foundation (NSF) and her experience with research abroad in Costa Rica (and the surprises that come along with it).
On Episode 15 of Black in Science, I spoke with Dr. Christina M. Jones, who is currently a Research Chemist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). To open the interview, Dr. Jones discusses her childhood while growing up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana before segueing into her time as an undergraduate student at Louisiana State University (LSU). After recapping the multiple summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) she attended over the course of her college career, Christina describes the metabolomics work she did for her Ph.D in Analytical Chemistry at Georgia Tech. While completing her National Research Council postdoctoral fellowship at NIST's Charleston campus, Dr. Jones outlines the metabolomics program she helped establish before transitioning into her current position in Maryland. To close things out, Christina shares her feelings on the importance of celebrating your successes, reaching out for help and having the courage to visualize what you want.

During the dark days of COVID-19 when we saw the near-total shutdown of U.S. clinical rotations for medical students, this hope-inspiring episode discusses how ACMedical and other U.S. medical schools rose above the negatives by energizing their clinical sites and preceptors to rethink clinical medical education in every way imaginable. The outcome has been a brand new ways of gaining clinical and research experiences, remotely. In today's episode ACMedical's Dr. Pedram Mizani and Cody Phan discuss the differences between telemedicine and Live Online Clinical and Research experiences (LOCE and LORE). We wager the significance of LOCE and LORE when it comes to gaining clinical acumen and fostering medical knowledge, while also helping to garner a strong Letter of Recommendation (LOR). A truly amazing show. Hope you enjoy it. Have questions? Contact us at podcast@acmedical.org.
