Who even knows when I very first met Sarah Chan, we've taken so many classes together! From ballet at Westside to Jazz at Millennium to Contemporary at C Spot, we both love to run around the city trying all the different studios. Lately Sarah's been focusing on ballet, contemporary / modern, and heels, and she's in two dance companies! (And if you thought that was a lot, she also works as a dietitian, which she also loves.) It was so encouraging to hear Sarah's story about how she pursued dance her whole life but then took time to reflect on who she was and what she really wanted to do for a career. Cut to years later, and she's now figured out how to do it all in a balanced and sustainable way so she can keep growing and enjoying life. It was crazy to hear how all the puzzle pieces came together in a schedule that suits her so well! I love keeping up with Sarah's dance life in person and online, and it was so fun to take my very first heels class with her at Eighty Eight Studios! What an adventure that was, lol.

You'll definitely want to hear this one!
In this episode we get to know Make Your Mark, an initiative of United Way of the Alberta Capital Region that teaches students from kindergarten to Grade 12 about social issues in their own communities, the role of non-profit organizations, and how they can make a real impact. We interview Sarah Chan about what drives her involvement with Make Your Mark as United Way works to grow the program to more local school projects. We also talk to Michelle Sabourin, a high school teacher at M.E. LaZerte and a champion of the program who participates annually with her students. And we hear from students Jessica and Drew, who are actively participating in Make Your Mark and share how this program has a direct impact on students. Join us as we examine who is readying the next generation of changemakers in the Alberta Capital Region, and how are they doing it. United Way's Make Your Mark is presented by Dentons.

Microbiomes are a multi-million-pound industry. Every week, many people send off poop samples to be examined so we can learn about our own ecosystems of bacteria, virus and fungi that live in our guts, with a view to improving health. But how accurate are these tests? Microbiologist Prof Jacques Ravel is calling for better controls in what is currently an unregulated industry. He joins us along with Prof Tim Spector, scientific co-founder of personalised nutrition app ZOE, to discuss the areas of concern, and potential benefits, of this direct-to-consumer model. Nobel prize-winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman has died at the age of 90. Widely acknowledged as one of the world's most influential psychologists, his many years of study centred on how and why we make the decisions we do. In 2011, his book Thinking, Fast and Slow, which summarizes much of his research, was published and became a best seller. We're joined by presenter and author Claudia Hammond to unpick his legacy. The price of lab monkeys has plummeted. Used for drug development and testing, their value skyrocketed during the vaccine development period of the pandemic. But when the boom for vaccines died, the demand for (and value of) these monkeys plunged. Journalist Eleanor Olcott provides the full picture. Are there alternatives to animal testing? Marnie visits a lab in Cambridge to find out about neural organoids, cellular clumps grown from stem cells made to replicate the brain. Developmental biologist Prof Madeline Lancaster shows her around and Dr Sarah Chan from the University of Edinburgh digs into the ethics of this cutting-edge branch of science.Presenter: Marnie Chesterton Producers: Florian Bohr, Hannah Robins, Louise Orchard and Imaan Moin Editor: Martin Smith Production Co-ordinator: Jana Bennett-Holesworth BBC Inside Science is produced in collaboration with the Open University.

If you could prevent your future child from having a life-threatening disease, would you do it? What if you could prevent addictions or the development of bad habits before they were even born? What if you could genetically engineer your child to be taller, or if you could select their eye color or even their sex? How much of this would you be OK with—and which of these things give you “the ick”? Joyce Harper, professor of reproductive science at University College London, says genetic engineering is a slippery slope that raises a lot of moral and ethical questions. She argues that just because we can do these things, doesn't mean that we necessarily should. She says that gene editing could deepen class and cultural divides, especially if only the wealthy few can access and afford the technology. Sarah Chan, chancellor's fellow in ethics at University of Edinburgh, agrees that while there is some risk with genetic engineering, there are also risks if we don't pursue it. She argues that gene editing has the power to create a more just and healthy society. Listen to the Doha Debates Podcast as they debate the promises and pitfalls of genetic engineering—is this technology our future, or should it remain science fiction?

In this St Cross Special Ethics Seminar, Dr Sarah Chan outlines some risks arising from the deliberate infection of human participants to infectious agents for research purposes In this St Cross Special Ethics Seminar, Dr Sarah Chan explores three key areas of risk in ‘challenge trials' – the deliberate infection of human participants to infectious agents as a tool for vaccine development and improving our knowledge of disease biology. Dr Chan explores a) whether some forms of challenge trials cannot be ethically justified; b) why stratifying populations for vaccine allocation by risk profile can result in unjust risk distribution; and c) how comparing these cases and the evaluation of relative risk reveals flaws in approach to pandemic public health.

Industries change quickly, and skill sets can become obsolete. Add a pandemic on top, and it's fair to say employees and employers face an entirely different reality than they did a year or so ago. Deloitte's National Workforce Transformation Leader Kathy Woods joins for an informative (and hilarious) look at how people of all ages can be "future ready". Twenty or so years ago, they all collaborated on the University of Alberta's official student newspaper - The Gateway. This past year, nearly thirty talented writers resolved to reconnect and collaborate on a reflection of middle age. The result is a powerful, hilarious, heart-wrenching book called "Midlife". Sarah Chan, Jhenifer Pabillano, Adam Rozenhart, Amanda Ash, Geoff Moysa, and Raymond Biesinger hang out for one of the more memorable (and moving) hours in Real Talk history. 24:06 - Kathy Woods 49:31 - Midlife part 1 with Sarah Chan, Jhenifer Pabillano and Adam Rozenhart 1:29:26 - Midlife part 2 with Amanda Ash, Geoff Moysa and Raymond Biesinger
Sarah Chan and Jhen Pabillano have stories to tell, and know others whose stories held power, meaning, and insight. 20 years ago, they met at The Gateway, a student newspaper at the University of Alberta, where both nurtured their passion to stand against the grain of what's popular and talk about what they felt was important. What started as an idea to reconnect with Gateway alumni turned into a new passion project cultivated by newfound time as a result of COVID and the desire to reconnect and tell stories with old friends. These are the stories of people entering their middle age, of newfound wisdom, trials and tribulations, difficult choices, and so much more. This is Midlife. Sarah Chan (MA) is a musician & artist, teacher, social advocate, yoga toddler (RYT-200), and mother of two. She operates a private piano studio, seeing over 30 students each week. Sarah created and Chairs the Dentons Make Your Mark program at United Way, a youth activation program for student leaders. She also Co-Chaired United Way's campaign cabinet from 2016-2018. As a social advocate with a deep understanding of Edmonton's charitable sector, Sarah currently sits as a director on both the CN and Telus Community Giving Boards, in Edmonton. Sarah has been a mentor with BGCBigs for the past 7 years. She is the Honorary Patron for YESS; An advocate for Edmonton Public Library; And, a Member of the Mentor team at Peter Lougheed Leadership College. Sarah is one half of mèi mèi, a sister ukulele duo. She is a long-time feminist and cycling advocate. And she races sails boats! Most importantly, she excels at telling the truth and making jokes. She is small, and mighty. Jhenifer Pabillano, PMP, is a Project Manager with the City of Vancouver, working on strategic corporate projects for the City's Engineering Services department. Previously, she was the Communications Manager for the 2018 municipal election and spent five years as the City's first ever Social Media Strategist.

Sermon by Sis. Sarah Chan
23andMe is one of the biggest providers of home genetic testing kits and if you live in the UK, it's the only one that also includes various genetic analyses relevant not just to ancestry, but also to health. After a previous ban, the Food and Drug Administration for the first time approved marketing of the 23andMe Genetic Health Risk tests for diseases in the US. Adam Rutherford talks to geneticist Professor Matthew Cobb of the University of Manchester and to medical ethicist Dr Sarah Chan of the University of Edinburgh about how useful this genetic information can be and about who owns the data. New research published this week has revealed something really quite bizarre about our own genomes: that we can survive normally with a considerable number of dysfunctional genes. We've got around 20,000 genes, and you might think that you need them all, as when they don't work, they could lead to a serious health condition. But from a study of more than 10,000 people from Pakistan more than 1300 mutations were found to have no effect on their health. Geneticist Robert Plenge explains the research. The Great Barrier Reef has taken another huge hit with a mass bleaching event occurring a second year in a row. Over two thirds of the reef is now seriously damaged. Professor Jorg Wiedenmann of the University of Southampton explains that if bleaching events continue to happen at this rate, the world's largest coral reef will never recover.

Local piano teacher and social advocate Sarah Chan chose "Bulgogi Pizza" to be her Capital City Records Song of the Week. It's a legendary Edmonton treat with a special place in the hearts and stomachs of those whose late-night hunger pangs have driven them beyond the bright lights of Whyte Avenue's donair mile. It's Steel Wheels Rock 'n Roll Pizzeria's most famous slice, and it's the namesake inspiration for the fourth track on Doug Hoyer's 2013 LP To Be A River. Hear Chan's take on the "bubbles", "lasers" and "cheeky-ness" of Hoyer's memorably named track in this edition of the Capital City Records Song of the Week.
