Stephen Sanders is the Head Trainer at The Environmental Training Center at Morrisville State, Morrisville NY. In this episode we discussed challenges in the water industry, including workforce aging, recruitment difficulties, and negative public perception. We explored solutions such as simplifying certification processes, improving community relations through clear communication, and emphasizing the industry's positive community impact. Next steps include implementing improved recruitment and training strategies, focusing on community relations rather than solely public relations. Give the episode a listen and remember to thank your local Public Works Professionals.
This week, we are joined by several of the speakers and participants in the Preventing Gun Violence Advocacy Day. First we talk with Jasir Rahman, a student at Rice University and Texas Youth Advocacy Coordinator with Team ENOUGH. Later in the episode we hear from Nicole Golden, Director of Texas Gun Sense, and Rev. Stephen Sanders from Oak Hill United Methodist Church shortly after the rally for gun violence prevention was held on the Texas Capitol steps on February 27th. Gun violence is always such a hard topic. Because so many of the folks who show up have traumatic stories to explain what brought them to this work. We heard stories from Uvalde families. We heard from people who had family members take their lives or who had friends involved in accidental deaths. And, while we marched to the Capitol with about 1,000 other advocates from across the state to rally on the South steps, we passed by over 1,000 t-shirts with the names of Texans who needlessly lost their lives to gun violence as part of a giant Vidas Robadas display. I want to give props to Texas Impact's Gun Violence Prevention team for their work on this event and to the Texas Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence for their work.

Top Takeaways: A professional is someone who isn’t just collecting a check – a professional is involved. Diversity needs to be managed and we have to get a lot more comfortable with being uncomfortable. Dream Teams. Just read it, then change how you see diversity and work at it. Show Notes: [7:33] What is your connection to operators? Stephen does operator training and sees 500-600 operators per year. This career in water is multiple jobs down their career path. Do operators want a voice? Yes, if they want to be a professional. They need to be enc [10:14] What is the best message we can offer to operators see the value in being a professional? Education. Leadership needs to recognize the value of your field staff workers. Leadership in utilities needs to understand these individuals are professionals. [11:40] When should we start talking to students about operations as a career path? Middle school to early high school. Can’t just look for operators, need to be willing to train an operator. Need to create the pipeline of workers to fill these roles. [14:10] What is the biggest industry blind spot? We need to answer why we are trying to have more diversity. Do we value people and different types of people? We don’t just want to check the box – we need these voices. We serve real human beings. We can encourage one another through storytelling and what it feels like to be out of place. Leaders need to tell stories and influence the organization. [18:35] What are some ways we can encourage empathy? We sharpen each other. We need to communicate the value of diverse perspectives. [20:15] Dream Teams by Shane Snow – what stood out to you most? The part of our brain that puts up the red flag is unconscious; therefore, we have to put in a conscience effort to resist that urge. As human beings we are hardwired to be biased and resist those who look different from us. We see each other as threats. We have been robbed of our ability to have disagreements without “hating” each other. We need to become more comfortable with being uncomfortable. It’s our obligation as a water sector. It’s about what we are trying to accomplish together. Feedback comes from wanting to help someone – it’s not about a personal attack on them. [27:09] Discussion about the importance of Wu-Tang and the power of diversity. Diversity has to be managed – it’s not a free for all. Just because its not comfortable doesn’t mean you should avoid it. “if it ain’t rough, it ain’t right.” [31:06] The Lighting Round Dream Teams – Shane Snow Get out in the morning with a walk. Need to have a clean desk. Mind the calendar. The golden rule. Treat others the way you want to be treated.

A new technique called exome sequencing is a revolutionary way to look at our DNA. This, according to psychiatrist Stephen Sanders of the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine. Basically, it allows researchers to determine the structure of all expressed genes in a genome and recently, it helped UCSF scientists find mutations in a gene that triggers autism. “And that was a gene called SCN2A, which stands for Voltage Gated Sodium Channel 2 Alpha. When we saw that result, we were very excited, because we could show that this gene was associated with autism. It was playing an important role in what autism is on a neurological level.” Sanders and his colleagues found that people with autism have more S-C-N-2-A mutations, than those without this disease. “And before this technology it would have been impossible to have found enough mutations to work this out." Sanders says the next step will be to identify the specific type of the gene mutation and predict the severity of autism.
