Substandard and falsified (SF) antimicrobials are a neglected global health problem and have been implicated as drivers of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Substandard medicines are authorized medical products that fail to meet either their quality standards or their specifications, whereas falsified medicines are those that deliberately and fraudulently misrepresent their identity, composition or source. Host Angela Huttner is joined by Pernette Bourdillon Esteve, Technical Officer for the World Health Organization's Substandard/falsified Medical Products group, and Ben Cooper, epidemiologist at Oxford University and head of its Drug-Resistant Infection and Disease Dynamics (DRIaDD), to explore the effects of SF antimicrobials on people and AMR.This episode was edited by Kathryn Hostettler and peer-reviewed by Dr. Arjana Zerja of Mother Teresa University Hospital in Tirana, Albania.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX In the news is brought to you by Edgepark simplify your diabetes journey with Edgepark XX Do men and women have different insulin requirements? A new study conducted across Europe says yes – women overall need less. Published in the Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology this looked at over 9,000 adults with type 1 diabetes using data from patients using the Diabeloop Generation 1 (DBLG1) hybrid closed-loop pump system. In this study, women needed 14-percent less insulin overall than men. These researchers say these findings have important implications for the practical management of insulin therapy and highlight the necessity of considering gender as a crucial factor in diabetes treatment. The treatment guidelines provided by American and European Diabetes Societies do not currently have gender-specific recommendations for insulin-weight ratios. The co-founder and Chief Scientific and Technical Officer for Diabeloop. “This study also highlights the capacity to discover new insights from big-data analysis of real-world data.” *Insulin Requirements According to Gender and Weight in a Population of 9036 Adult Persons With Type 1 Diabetes Using Closed-Loop Insulin Delivery, https://doi.org/10.1177/19322968241252366). https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/markets/markets-news/GetNews/27419187/diabeloop-study-reveals-significative-gender-differences-in-insulin-requirements-for-type-1-diabetes-patients/ XX New drug therapy in those lucky diabetic mice boosted insulin-producing cells by 700% over three months, effectively reversing the disease. Scientists at Mount Sinai and City of Hope have been able to grow new beta cells in the body, in a matter of months. The therapy involved a combination of two drugs: one is harmine, a natural molecule found in certain plants, which works to inhibit an enzyme called DYRK1A found in beta cells. The second is a GLP1 receptor agonist. The latter is a class of diabetes drug that includes Ozempic, The researchers tested the therapy in mouse models of type 1 and 2 diabetes.. The signs of the disease quickly reversed, and stayed that way even a month after stopping the treatment. The results are intriguing, but of course being an animal study means there's still much more work to be done before it could find clinical use. So far, harmine alone has recently undergone a phase 1 clinical trial in humans to test its safety and tolerability, while other DYRK1A inhibitors are planned for trials in humans next year. https://newatlas.com/medical/diabetes-reversing-drug-boosts-insulin-producing-cells/ XX Stem cell–derived beta-cell replacement therapy continues to show benefit in people with type 1 diabetes at a high risk for severe hypoglycemia. New info from Vertex shows that of a total 17 patients who received a full dose of their investigational allogeneic stem cell–derived, fully differentiated pancreatic islet cell replacement therapy (VX-880), three, thus far, have achieved the primary study efficacy endpoint of elimination of severe hypoglycemic episodes with A1c < 7% at 1 year and the secondary endpoint of insulin independence. Others are on the same trajectory, Piotr Witkowski, MD, PhD, professor of surgery at The University of Chicago, Chicago, said at the recent American Diabetes Association (ADA) 84th Scientific Sessions. In his presentation, Witkowski also provided details about the deaths of two study participants that the company had announced in January 2024, neither of which were related to the VX-880 product. In fact, there have been no severe adverse events related to the product itself, with most due to either the infusion procedure or the immunosuppression. "These data highlight the curative potential of VX-880 in people living with type 1 diabetes and support further evaluation of VX-880 toward pivotal development," Witkowski said. For now, patients selected for the study are those who experience frequent severe hypoglycemia deemed to be a greater risk to the patient than that of immunosuppression. However, Ahn pointed out, "With VX-880, the obvious fly in the ointment is the need for immunosuppression which carries significant risk…There are multiple solutions being proposed, but we are still waiting for data as promising as the initial Vertex data is on that front." https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/stem-cell-derived-islets-continue-show-benefit-t1d-2024a1000cx1 XX Still lots of COVID studies coming in about type 1. A German study suggests COVID 19 may speed up progression of existing but presymptomatic T1D in kids. These researchers had been screening and following children in an early presymptomatic stage of type 1 diabetes for several years. They noticed an increase in the numbers of Incidence of clinical type 1 diabetes nearly doubled after the pandemic started. "We know that the virus can infect the pancreatic islets so it could be causing damage or change in the beta cells that make insulin," said Ziegler when discussing possible mechanisms behind this association. "Second, there is generalized inflammation during the infection and there may be a stimulation of the immune response. Third, there could be metabolic stress from the infection that affects the beta cells that make insulin. To dive into this topic, youth were identified in the German Fr1da-screening program from 2015 to 2023. All patients had presymptomatic diabetes defined as persistent, confirmed positive results for two or more islet autoantibodies. Their progression was monitored at 3- to 6-month intervals. Clinical type 1 diabetes was defined according to American Diabetes Association COVID infection was either self-reported via the family or identified with SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were confirmed in blood samples collected at study visits. Vaccination against COVID-19 may be one way to protect presymptomatic type 1 diabetes youth from progression, Ziegler added. She said her group is currently testing whether COVID-19 vaccination can reduce new-onset, presymptomatic type 1 diabetes in a clinical trial of children with genetic risk factors for the condition. https://www.medpagetoday.com/endocrinology/type1diabetes/111084 XX The FDA says no – for now - to Novo Nordisk's weekly insulin. This has been approved in Canada and should be available there shortly. But the FDA says it wants more information related to the manufacturing process and the type 1 diabetes indication to complete the review. Novo said it does not expect to be able to fulfil the requests this year, and that it will work closely with the FDA regarding the next steps. The regulator's decision follows its outside panel's vote against the use of the weekly insulin icodec, in patients with type 1 diabetes due to risks of low blood sugar. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/us-fda-declines-approve-novo-nordisks-weekly-insulin-2024-07-10/ XX A couple of weeks ago we spoke to the attorneys taking on CGM monitronig in schools. They've helped a family in Connecticut and set a precdent. A child with autism and diabetes was not getting reasonable accommodations under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act in a public preschool program. I'll link up the press release from the DOJ but this family wasn't getting any support and it just wasn't safe. The lawyers here tell me the ruling and settlement is just going to help them going forward as they try to make schools complient with CGM as a reasonable accomodatin. https://www.justice.gov/usao-ct/pr/aba-therapy-provider-make-changes-comply-americans-disabilities-act XX Ozempic could lower the risk of dementia and a range of other mental problems compared with other existing treatments for patients with diabetes. What's more, researchers found that Ozempic cut nicotine dependence in those patients. This study relied on medical records from more than 100,000 U.S. diabetes patients, including more than 20,000 who were prescribed semaglutide between December 2017 and May 2021. After a year, patients who took Ozempic had a 48% lower risk of developing dementia than those on Januvia. The risk in Ozempic patients was also 37% lower than those who took Glucotrol and 9% lower than those on Jardiance. Notably, previous research has determined that diabetes patients are at a greater risk of developing dementia. But the authors emphasized that the analysis is observational. The results need to be replicated in a controlled trial that assigns patients to randomly take Ozempic and the other drugs, according to Dr. Max Taquet, another Oxford clinical lecturer and senior study author. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/16/healthy-returns-ozempic-may-lower-dementia-risk-nicotine-use.html XX Edgepark Commercial XX The Omnipod 5 with Dexcom G7 integration is now available through select pharmacies with full availability expected in the fall. The System uses new Pods that are compatible with both Dexcom G6 and G7, but the prescription code will stay the same as the current Omnipod 5 Pods. This means the community will have similar insurance coverage and access to what they have with Omnipod 5 today. If you're looking to start on Omnipod 5 and you're currently using Dexcom G7, your doctor will need to send a prescription for both the Omnipod 5 Intro Kit and Omnipod 5 Pods, compatible with Dexcom G6-G7, to ASPN Pharmacies. You can learn more at https://www.omnipod.com/innovation/dexcom-g7. If you are already using Omnipod 5, you will get the new Pods compatible with Dexcom G6 and G7 through your Pod refills. You do not need a new prescription. The week of July 29th, you will receive a free software update for the Omnipod 5 App to your Controller or compatible Android smartphone which is needed to use the System with Dexcom G7. Accept the update. We recommend you continue to use your current Omnipod 5 Pods and Dexcom G6 supplies until the new Pods compatible with Omnipod 5 with Dexcom G6-G7 are available at your preferred pharmacy. We'll email our users when the new Pods are available in most pharmacies. You can learn more at https://www.omnipod.com/innovation/new-compatible-devices XX Big promises about long-term implantable blood glucose monitor from a company called Focus. They say they're partnering with Glucotrack to quote - transform how people with diabetes interact with their condition. They're not calling this a CGM – rather it's a CBGM, continuous blood glucose monitor because it will measure glucose levels in blood, not in interstital fluid like CGMs do. They company says this is a fully subdermal location, with no external wearable. In preclinical studies, the CBGM has a MARD of 4.7% at day 90. That is MUCH lower than CGMs on the market – Dexcom and Libre are in the low 8s right now. BUT.. it hasn't been fully tested in people yet. Human clinical trials are set to start later this year. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/focus-collaborates-glucotrack-implantable-cbgm/ XX Big congrats to Jamie Ferrer (Chy-may Fer-rare) On Monday, Ferrer's dream was realized when the Twins selected the Florida State outfielder in the fourth round (No. 126 overall) during Day 2 of the MLB Draft. Minnesota vice president of amateur scouting Sean Johnson said the club had its eyes on Ferrer since high school. “Recently, I was in Orlando at a conference called, “Friends for Life with CWD [Children with Diabetes],” and we had an event that was a sports day. … Kids would come up to me and either them or their families would ask me how I dealt with this [or that],” Ferrer said. “And seeing their faces light up whenever I said I was diagnosed at three and I played college baseball. … You hear people tell you no and that you can't do this because you have Type 1 diabetes … So why not inspire as many people as I can?” “I'm super proud of being a Type 1 athlete, and it's something that I'll never shy away from talking about or showing off my insulin pump because it's who I am and it's something that I've had to deal with my entire life.” https://www.mlb.com/news/jaime-ferrer-selected-no-126-overall-by-twins-in-2024-mlb-draft XX Join us again soon!
Sad news to impart that Alan Stephenson, formerly VK4PS, life member of The Townsville Amateur Radio Club Inc. went Silent Key peacefully during the early hours of Thursday morning, 23rd May, 2024. Alan's passing brings an end to a massive contribution to Amateur Radio and the community at large. Alan was instrumental in forming the communications section of the Townsville Civil Defence organisation in the early 1970s and continued to be a comms section leader when that organisation changed into the Townsville division of the Queensland SES. He was instrumental in obtaining the location of the Amateur Radio Site at Mount Stuart and the current Club Rooms at the SES HQ, supporting training through the club during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, was comms support leader for the Club assisting community organisations run events safely through the power of radio and assisting radio amateurs in their experiments. Alan was a 6metre band pioneer in North Queensland back when you had to convert ex-miltary or commercial rigs to 50MHz and his home in Little Street Belgian Gardens was a hub in the region for long distance communications. Alan was the first Technical Officer for Community Radio 4TTT-FM and was instrumental in establishing the studios in the Townsville CBD and the transmitting site at Mount Stuart. Alan also masterminded the power and tower upgrade for the community broadcaster and also helped get the Burdekin's community broadcaster Sweet-FM on the air. Hello, I'm Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I've been thinking. There are many things used as team building exercises and they range from the plain to the bizarre, it seems. One thing that just about everyone has made at some time is a list. Whether it is getting all the groceries or planning what to take on a trip or ordering parts for some project, most of of us have had practice in putting together a list. Now if we think back a few years, most of us will remember that the American Amateur Relay League, the ARRL, ran a very successful campaign to attract new members with the tag of “We do that”. With the benefit of some professional advertising, posters and other material got the message out that the amateur radio service was involved in far more things than just pounding brass or rag chewing. So this is where the list comes in. There are the obvious things that go with participation in AR such as self education but when we put our heads together, just how many activities do we really encompass? As the nights get colder, here is something that a group can do in person or over the air as a way of showing others just how broad based our activities can be. Perhaps someone can sponsor a competition for the longest list of activities that hams do…. Now apart from providing some engrossing mental stimulation there is more to this idea of list making than first thoughts suggest. We like to feel proud and involved in the various things that we do and one way of spreading the word about amateur radio is often the opportunity that casual conversations offer. When we meet someone and exchange greetings, the topics tend to spread and recreation plays an important part in feeling good and supporting mental health too. When we learn of the other person's interests it is great to share some knowledge when we can say, “We do that too.” Of course, part of enjoying a good conversation is being able to listen to what the other person says and then being able to say something positive about the subject. The fact that a few people put their heads together and wrote a list gives the memory the jog to respond to what is said and shows we aren't just filling the gaps with meaningless words. That list helps make us more interesting too. So how about we apply a little brain power to this area of interest and be able to say, “We do that too?” I'm Geoff Emery VK4ZPP and that's what I think….how about you?

If you ever thought of buying a collectible car or truck, then one of the first thoughts that should go through your head is, does it have any rust? Rust is one of those silent killers that eats our beloved rides from the inside out, and unlike mechanical issues, by the time you see it, it could be too late. There is, however, a preventative solution that can help prevent and ward off rust.

TRIGGER WARNING Dave Morgan left his family in Brisbane in 1969 for Vietnam as part of the 104 Signal Squadron. During his term, he served at several fire support bases and dealt with attacks by the Viet Cong. During one of those attacks, his pit hole collapsed on him, and after he returned to an unsympathetic Australia, he started reliving that experience night after night. Dave tried to live a normal life after he returned from Vietnam. Within months he had his first nightmare along with anxiety and depression. There was nowhere to turn for help as Vietnam veterans were despised by most people, or they were just not interested in them. Most Vietnam vets disappeared into their own world. After military discharge, came heavy drinking and depression. During a 6 month trip to USA/Canada, he had suicidal thoughts until he met up with an American mate that he met in Vietnam and for the first time Dave felt comfortable with life as his American friends helped him with his anger and depression. He returned to Australia with a new outlook on life, got married, was selected on a Bureau Meteorology Technical Officer ( Weather Observer) course, and over the next thirty-three years had 12 postings including Antarctica and raised two children. He hid his PTSD well from all but his family. They moved around Queensland for Dave's job as a Technical Officer but his desire for isolation led him to postings at Giles WA, Macquarie Island and Davis Station. A few hours after he arrived at Casey Station for his next expedition, he slipped on blue ice and sustained a severe head and neck injury forcing a medevac back to the mainland. Now retired, Dave is seeking treatment for his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which Antarctica finally made him acknowledge.Dave's third book – ‘The Invisible Trauma' was published by Big Sky Publishing this year 2022. His two previous books were– ‘Ice Journey' (2010) and ‘My Vietnam War-Scarred Forever' (2014). A portion of sale proceeds from this book will be donated to Australia Legacy an organisation which supports veterans' families.https://www.bigskypublishing.com.au/dave-morgan/Follow the podcastOnemomentpleasepodcast.comIG:@onemomentpleasepodcastFB: OneMomentPlease

The World Health Orgnization's European Regional Obesity Report makes grim reading. It says nearly two-thirds of European adults are obese, a third of children are overweight or obese, and crucially, the numbers are rising. The WHO says no European country is on track to stop obesity rising by 2025. For UK readers, the standout headline is that Britain is on course to have the worst obesity rate in Europe by 2033. But there is one line within the report that offers a glimpse of hope. It says: "Europe can reverse its obesity epidemic." In this episode of the Food Matters Live Podcast, we interview one of the authors of the report, Kremlin Wickramasinghe, Acting Head of the WHO European Office for the Prevention and Control of Non-communicable diseases. For decades obesity has been a major global health issue and as time has ticked on, despite research, government health legislation, campaigns, changes within the food industry, things continue to get worse. It's a topic we've covered before on the podcast, but when we have asked where the solutions are coming from, convincing answers have often been in short supply. In order to understand how we might reverse rising obesity rates, we first need to understand how we ended up here in the first place. This WHO report is the first we've had for 15 years and some of the changes that have happened in that time, appear to be contributing to the obesity crisis. The Coronavirus pandemic is highlighted in the report as having increased our consumption of fast-food, led to more screen time, and a more sedentary lifestyle. The increased use of food delivery apps is also playing a role, says the report, and in more ways than might immediately be obvious. Listen to the full episode to get some answers to questions such as; why are all of Europe's nations failing to get a grip of the obesity crisis? Whose responsibility is it to reverse the current trend? And where can European countries look to for inspiration? And then there's that slight glimmer of hope. If Europe really can reverse its obesity epidemic, how exactly does it go about doing it? Dr Kremlin Wickramasinghe, Acting Head, WHO European Office for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases Kremlin leads the Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity Programme which is responsible for providing support to the 53 Member States of the WHO European Region on the implementation of the European Food and Nutrition Action Plan and Physical Activity. Prior to this position he worked as a Technical Officer on Noncommunicable Diseases (NCD) Risk Factors, since 2017 in the same office. Before joining WHO, he was a researcher and the co-director of the WHO Collaborating Centre on Population Approaches to NCD Prevention at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom. He co-edited the text book “An Introduction to Population-level Prevention of Non-Communicable Diseases” published by the Oxford University Press. He has a special interest in multisectoral responses to health promotion, quantifying the outcome of health policies and implementation research. Kremlin graduated as a medical doctor with MBBS from the University of Colombo. He holds an MSc in Global Health Science and a DPhil (PhD) in Public Health from the University of Oxford.

Due to poor NBN connection, the audio from this podcast is occasionally at times substandard. I apologies for the poor connection. You will still enjoy the stories Bruce has to tell. Born in Melbourne, to ten pound pom parents, Bruce moved around during his younger years across Australia & PNG. His aspirations growing up were to be a pilot. Due to colour blindness, this was an unattainable goal. This led to his career choice, as a surveyor working in the Surveying & Spatial industry. He has had a great career travelling the world & has been in the industry for over 20 years, with a varied career from the water to the land. He is a geospatial professional with a passion for solving problems and developing solutions with the use of information technology. With an enquiring mind he went out into the world with a hunger to learn & he has never stopped learning. He loves all forms of surveying as they all relate to each other & can take you to places you never thought possible.

Working long hours can, for some, be a badge of honour proving to themselves and the world how important and irreplaceable they really are. Yet the longer-term consequences and impacts of consistently working long hours are devastating for health and well-being. In this episode of the Brain for Business, Brain for Life podcast we talk to Dr Frank Pega of the World Health Organization (WHO) who outlines the shocking findings of research he has undertaken with a global team of experts into the effects of over-work and working long hours, including increased risk of heart attack and stroke The article referred to is available here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412021002208 Dr Frank Pega is a Technical Officer in the Environment, Climate Change and Health Department at the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva, Switzerland.

Two billion people – more than six out of ten workers in the world – make their living in the informal economy. The ILO estimates that some 1.6 billion of these workers have been significantly impacted by the COVID pandemic. Among them, women and young workers have been particularly hard hit. What is to be done? One emerging solution is technology. The ILO Centenary Declaration for the Future of Work recognizes the role of technological innovation in driving change in the world of work and its human-centred approach, and promotes harnessing the potential of technological progress to achieve decent work and sustainable development. In this podcast, ILO Employment Policy Specialist Juan Chacaltana and Technical Officer, Vicky Leung discuss emerging policy trends in how technology can facilitate the transition to the formal economy, or e-formality, and some of the challenges.
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has been around for nearly 100 years, and is the federal standard for regulation of all things signs, markings, and signals in the U.S. transportation system. But how has the Manual changed throughout the years, and how has ITE played a role in influencing those changes? ITE Deputy Executive Director and Chief Technical Officer Jeff Lindley joins the podcast to demystify these issues. He also describes ITE's response to the current Notice of Proposed Amendments issued by FHWA, which is expected to result in a new edition of the Manual, the first to be issued since 2009.

The experiences we get, how we do our research and how we apply for jobs. 6 00:00:45,430 --> 00:00:51,000 So to answer that, we are talking to some of our researchers who have got new jobs during the 7 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,250 COVID 19 pandemic and talk to them about how they found those roles. 8 00:00:56,250 --> 00:01:03,240 The process of applying and in some cases, what it's like to start a new job during a global pandemic. 9 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:10,200 So without further ado, here's the first in our series of podcasts on Moving Beyond Your Research Degree and a global pandemic. 10 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,820 Timur are you happy to introduce yourself? I sure am. 11 00:01:14,820 --> 00:01:25,710 My name's Timur Jack-Kadioglu I started my PhD with University of Exeter would have been February 2018 12 00:01:25,710 --> 00:01:29,730 I'm based with the European Centre for Environment and Human Health. 13 00:01:29,730 --> 00:01:32,080 Down in Cornwall. 14 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:40,670 My PhD is working on a project called Blue Communities and it's a interdisciplinary programme that involves various departments. 15 00:01:40,670 --> 00:01:45,930 at Exeter While also working with other academic institutions in the UK, 16 00:01:45,930 --> 00:01:54,540 some NGOs and also academic partners in Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Vietnam. 17 00:01:54,540 --> 00:01:59,060 I guess so I would identify as a Marine. Social scientists. 18 00:01:59,060 --> 00:02:05,100 My work is about the marine environment. But focussing on the social science aspects. 19 00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:12,290 And for my PhD. I spent time in the Philippines on the island of Palawan. 20 00:02:12,290 --> 00:02:19,610 My research was kind of looking at the relationships between livelihoods and governance. 21 00:02:19,610 --> 00:02:25,460 And especially looking at power relations and power dynamics and looking at trade offs and equity. 22 00:02:25,460 --> 00:02:33,710 Who the winners and losers are, so to speak, in terms of coastal development and conservation processes. 23 00:02:33,710 --> 00:02:41,360 Wow. Yeah. So what we're going to talk about today is actually securing a non-academic job, 24 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:48,550 but particularly securing a non-academic job during the time of COVID 19. 25 00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:56,030 And the additional challenges that bring say. Could you tell us a little bit about the job you're going on to? 26 00:02:56,030 --> 00:03:02,380 Sure. So I started a job in November of twenty twenty. 27 00:03:02,380 --> 00:03:08,890 So I originally I still have have time in my PhD and I'm still writing up my PhD, 28 00:03:08,890 --> 00:03:14,020 but my new employer's allowed me to originally start part time for November and December. 29 00:03:14,020 --> 00:03:17,620 So I still had two days a week working on the PhD 30 00:03:17,620 --> 00:03:27,880 And I joined the Conservation, Livelihood's and Governance team of the UK based NGO, Fauna and Flora International. 31 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:34,150 So they work with they have various regional teams in around the world. 32 00:03:34,150 --> 00:03:40,300 But their main model is working with small local partner organisations. 33 00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:40,630 And yeah, 34 00:03:40,630 --> 00:03:51,490 my my role with them is providing technical inputs on livelihoods and governance related aspects of conservation and natural resource management. 35 00:03:51,490 --> 00:03:56,160 And as I said, my my PhD is very much on that on that topic. 36 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,850 And I happen to see the job ad posted on LinkedIn. 37 00:04:00,850 --> 00:04:04,780 I think it was in September. Yes. 38 00:04:04,780 --> 00:04:11,890 September time. And it is one of those things where ideally, if this job came up six months later, that would have been perfect. 39 00:04:11,890 --> 00:04:22,870 But it was almost it was too good an opportunity to miss, given the relevance to the relevance to what I did in my PhD 40 00:04:22,870 --> 00:04:31,390 So actually, the application process is quite I got invited to an interview when I was on the way up to Scotland for a camping trip. 41 00:04:31,390 --> 00:04:36,070 And they offered the interview on a day when I was supposed to be in the back end of nowhere. 42 00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:41,050 So there was some last minute rearranging of plans to be able to accommodate it. 43 00:04:41,050 --> 00:04:47,950 But, yeah, I'm really glad I did end up doing that because I ended up getting the job. 44 00:04:47,950 --> 00:04:54,970 I think I was interested to hear you say that you found the job on linked in. 45 00:04:54,970 --> 00:04:59,590 So was it an advert that the company had posted. 46 00:04:59,590 --> 00:05:03,670 Were you following the company because you were interested in? Like, how. How did you get to see it? 47 00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:11,590 Basically, yes. As I said, it's an organisation I've really quite admired for it for a while. 48 00:05:11,590 --> 00:05:18,990 So I was following them on LinkedIn. And I saw that the job, that they posted the job on there and. 49 00:05:18,990 --> 00:05:24,110 It. Yeah, it was kind of advertised. I mean, I almost scrolled right past it. 50 00:05:24,110 --> 00:05:27,640 I mean, it just it's kind of just it was the livelihood's in governance, 51 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:33,570 but it kind of caught my eyes when I looked at it and I kind of ummed and ahhed about whether or not to apply for it. 52 00:05:33,570 --> 00:05:42,340 And like I said, the timing could have been a bit better as I'm still in I am still in the process of writing up my PhD 53 00:05:42,340 --> 00:05:46,270 But I think what really. Yeah. 54 00:05:46,270 --> 00:05:55,180 I think that what really went through my mind was needing to be just needing to be pragmatic with the difficult times that we're in. 55 00:05:55,180 --> 00:05:59,310 And especially on the I was coming towards the end of my PhD, 56 00:05:59,310 --> 00:06:11,230 this was starting to get a little bit concerned about the economic fallout of of the of the pandemic. 57 00:06:11,230 --> 00:06:14,840 And this this is a permanent contract. So. 58 00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:20,050 Well, I would probably let's be honest, I probably would have applied for anyway if it if it wasn't for the pandemic. 59 00:06:20,050 --> 00:06:22,810 But that just really. Yeah. 60 00:06:22,810 --> 00:06:32,230 It just really gave that that just happened, realising that I really needed to be pragmatic and make the most of what opportunities are available. 61 00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:40,060 Yeah. And I think that, you know, there's simple things of actually following organisations that you admire and that you have connections to. 62 00:06:40,060 --> 00:06:45,480 And it's a really simple thing that can actually kind of bring those opportunities into your awareness when, 63 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:54,730 like you say, you might not be thinking about it. Timing wise, but actually the the role and the organisation is it's just the right fit. 64 00:06:54,730 --> 00:06:58,570 Did you have any conversation with them in advance of applying for the role? 65 00:06:58,570 --> 00:07:03,750 About the fact that you were still finishing up the PhD 66 00:07:03,750 --> 00:07:11,340 Yes. So we spoke a little bit about it in the interview, and then afterwards, 67 00:07:11,340 --> 00:07:17,610 basically I went when they identified me, as the candidate they wanted to go for. 68 00:07:17,610 --> 00:07:25,070 They got in touch. And just before offering it to me, they just wanted to speak a little bit more about. 69 00:07:25,070 --> 00:07:32,280 About starting the role while finishing my PhD So I'd kind of thought in advance of the interview and what sort of options? 70 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,520 Because I knew that I just didn't want to start full time immediately. 71 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:45,330 And so I had kind of loosely said about options like starting part time or delaying the start until the beginning of twenty, twenty one. 72 00:07:45,330 --> 00:07:50,970 And then when we had the call, when they wanted to offer me the job. 73 00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:56,970 Yeah. They, they were they were quite willing to be somewhat adaptable. 74 00:07:56,970 --> 00:08:02,970 But while also they basically is the first time they've been able to secure 75 00:08:02,970 --> 00:08:06,660 funding to hire a new person in that team for like seven or eight years. 76 00:08:06,660 --> 00:08:13,500 They were very keen to have someone start as soon as possible. But I was really glad that they were understanding of it. 77 00:08:13,500 --> 00:08:17,220 And some of the team, some of my team members have PhDs themselves. 78 00:08:17,220 --> 00:08:25,380 So they were really understanding of just what PhD means in terms of obviously from the career progression perspective, 79 00:08:25,380 --> 00:08:32,490 but also from a personal aspect. Personal perspective is a very personal experience. 80 00:08:32,490 --> 00:08:37,260 So, yeah, they were really understanding of that. And like since starting as well, 81 00:08:37,260 --> 00:08:47,420 they've been encouraging and showed an interest in it and are keen to see that as I complete my PhD and hopefully start publishing kind of seeing. 82 00:08:47,420 --> 00:08:56,300 Yeah. I encourage me to present it to people in the organisation as well as amongst some of their networks more broadly. 83 00:08:56,300 --> 00:09:01,520 That's brilliant. And it's it's fantastic that the organisation is so supportive of that. 84 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:06,170 So I wonder if you could talk a little bit about the application process, actually. 85 00:09:06,170 --> 00:09:12,050 So you see the job on Linkedin. You almost, scroll past it, but then you don't. 86 00:09:12,050 --> 00:09:20,770 You decide to give it a closer look. What what did the application process involve exactly? 87 00:09:20,770 --> 00:09:28,240 So aside from my initial umming and ahhing about whether I should apply for it or not, once I did decide, yep, why am I even. 88 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:34,650 Why am I even debating? Let me apply for it. The actual application process. 89 00:09:34,650 --> 00:09:40,810 So it's quite a typical one, sharing CV and a cover letter. 90 00:09:40,810 --> 00:09:44,540 And then once I think it was just those two then once 91 00:09:44,540 --> 00:09:49,020 I mean, they got in touch in advance of the interview. 92 00:09:49,020 --> 00:09:55,560 And to say that there would be an assignment that could be done, there would be done immediately after the interview. 93 00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:59,350 But they kind of kept the details of that. Yeah. 94 00:09:59,350 --> 00:10:04,120 They didn't really say anything about what it would be, just that it would take an hour. 95 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:14,590 So I had to interview with three people. I thought I really appreciated what they what they did with the with having the video 96 00:10:14,590 --> 00:10:21,160 So the interview over a video call. They each were three interviewers. 97 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:28,540 And when one person was speaking, the other two would turn off their cameras. And I thought that was a really, really quite a nice way at that time. 98 00:10:28,540 --> 00:10:37,870 And it really helped me to to relax with it can be quite intimidating if you've got three random people you know very well. 99 00:10:37,870 --> 00:10:44,240 I suppose that does happen when you're having a face to face one. But a video as is, I will at least find it that much more difficult. 100 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:52,330 So I really appreciated that because it did feel more like you were just having a conversation with one person. 101 00:10:52,330 --> 00:11:03,270 Yeah. And afterwards, they then sent the assignment. So I had was given a set of data and also do various types of analysis in an hour. 102 00:11:03,270 --> 00:11:10,450 So quite technical. Yeah, fairly technical and definitely pushed me as a more of a qualitative social scientist. 103 00:11:10,450 --> 00:11:19,150 And it was quite quantitative. Clearly did enough of a did a decent enough of a job to convince them to offer me the rile 104 00:11:19,150 --> 00:11:26,320 Absolutely. Did you feel that there were things within the process or thinking about applying for a job with the 105 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:33,290 things that you concerned about that you felt were made that were more difficult due to COVID? 106 00:11:33,290 --> 00:11:44,210 And how did you kind of counteract that? Yeah, I think definitely the the thing that was the main I guess my main concern, 107 00:11:44,210 --> 00:11:57,260 and I made sure as you both me and my new employers we had an open discussion about it and it was about where to be based and expectations around moving. 108 00:11:57,260 --> 00:12:00,370 So FFIs offices are in in Cambridge. 109 00:12:00,370 --> 00:12:08,570 And for a long time they've really had a very strong policy about having people based there that they have this they share a building 110 00:12:08,570 --> 00:12:16,100 with conservation students from Cambridge and a whole load of other environmental engineers is is a real strong point of working there. 111 00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:26,600 So I was a little bit concerned that they would still really strongly want me to move during the pandemic. 112 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:35,990 But then they yeah, they made clear they basically they they asked if I would if I were to completely rule out ever moving to Cambridge. 113 00:12:35,990 --> 00:12:40,520 And they they wouldn't offer me the role as long as there was some sort of a 114 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:45,560 willingness with everything's just still in such a constant state of flux. 115 00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:51,200 Not to completely rule it out, but then they also emphasised that there was no expectation of moving then it 116 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,740 was kind of in the short term but of course now with additional lockdowns as well. 117 00:12:55,740 --> 00:13:04,900 That's very much in the medium term. So that was a big concern of mine because, yeah, it's difficult enough to move. 118 00:13:04,900 --> 00:13:15,850 Well, I have spent. I have lived in quite a few different countries and different places, I guess moving for me is something that is quite normal. 119 00:13:15,850 --> 00:13:26,530 But even despite how normal I find it, I was very reluctant to move in the middle of a pandemic, like even knowing people there in Cambridge already. 120 00:13:26,530 --> 00:13:33,720 Just just the thought of moving somewhere and trying to start putting down some roots and finding out what you like about the place. 121 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:41,350 I just can't really imagine doing that during the pandemic. And also just the kind of safety and space that you have, 122 00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:50,130 the safety and comfort that you haven't been a living in a space both in terms of the flat, I mean, but also living in Truro just 123 00:13:50,130 --> 00:14:00,920 Yeah, that that was a big concern of mine. And so I was really glad that they were just very understanding in terms of like starting a job in COVID 124 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:12,310 It is quite yeah. It's been quite challenging at times, kind of not having the I guess what I would call the water cooler, 125 00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:19,720 informal conversations that you have with with people in the office and especially when you're starting out. 126 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:25,900 But I think I was quite fortunate that I had some relationship to the organisation already. 127 00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:31,780 I worked for a small like a local partner of theirs in Tanzania before starting my career. 128 00:14:31,780 --> 00:14:38,140 Yeah, I feel really fortunate to have had that existing connection. 129 00:14:38,140 --> 00:14:43,180 How are you finding doing the writing of the PhD alongside working. 130 00:14:43,180 --> 00:14:50,060 How's that working for you. Oh, the million dollar question. Yes I know. 131 00:14:50,060 --> 00:14:54,430 Honestly I've actually found it is actually had I. 132 00:14:54,430 --> 00:15:01,720 Don't get me wrong, it is quite full on but it's actually had a very positive effect. 133 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:07,180 2020 was it was a pretty tough year for me. 134 00:15:07,180 --> 00:15:14,050 Basically when the pandemic was declared, I was still in the Philippines after pretty intense long term fieldwork. 135 00:15:14,050 --> 00:15:21,820 And then no, I was essentially extracted as the pandemic was declared and lockdown's are being put down. 136 00:15:21,820 --> 00:15:26,470 I got back immediate. I came back to the UK and was basically straight into lockdown. 137 00:15:26,470 --> 00:15:31,510 So it was a pretty tough experience then processing. 138 00:15:31,510 --> 00:15:39,100 But like analytically processing my data, but emotionally and the whole experience and actually I, 139 00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:45,370 I feel like after getting the job, it it kind of took a it took quite a lot of weight off. 140 00:15:45,370 --> 00:15:50,980 Yeah. It felt like a weight was lifted and that but my whole relationship with my PhD changed quite a bit. 141 00:15:50,980 --> 00:15:59,080 It was no longer so kind of like tied up it and. 142 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,040 Yeah, like it just started to get a bit of perspective on on on the PhD 143 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:16,450 And being able to kind of separate it out for myself a bit. And I think also having that urgency in that pressure that still felt somewhat manageable. 144 00:16:16,450 --> 00:16:22,830 I think it helps with being less of a perfectionist and trying to really get everything perfect. 145 00:16:22,830 --> 00:16:29,500 As I remember, seeing a quote like a PhD is never done is just simply handed in at the least damaging time. 146 00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:33,790 And I feel like starting the job. Yeah. It really helped to that. 147 00:16:33,790 --> 00:16:42,320 And I think in terms of productivity. Yeah, I'm just chipping away at it when I can. 148 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:48,770 Most mornings, not all mornings, and I'm trying to just be flexible and mostly just kind myself. 149 00:16:48,770 --> 00:16:54,440 If I have energy and I feel up for it, then I'll try and do like an hour or so reading in the morning. 150 00:16:54,440 --> 00:17:04,040 As if writing and in the mornings during the work week, occasionally working on weekends or the past few weeks since this new lockdown. 151 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:12,310 I've been trying not to do that. So, yeah, it's I think for me it. 152 00:17:12,310 --> 00:17:15,510 November and December, when I still had those two days a week on the PhD, 153 00:17:15,510 --> 00:17:23,600 there were some of the most productive times I have felt like I kind of had the breakthrough in and theoretic, 154 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:28,300 like drawing together my my data and theoretical frameworks. 155 00:17:28,300 --> 00:17:35,020 And yeah, I find it really fascinating, like beyond just the whole, like, 156 00:17:35,020 --> 00:17:39,030 productivity aspect of the PhD and getting closer to finishing my PhD 157 00:17:39,030 --> 00:17:47,260 I find it really interesting from a psychological perspective of time and pressure and expectation and everything. 158 00:17:47,260 --> 00:17:53,410 Because how did that kind of compare in terms of when you were when you're working on writing up the PhD 159 00:17:53,410 --> 00:18:01,870 And you weren't working as well, did you? Did you find, like you said, you make a lot breakthroughs, but did you find it easier to kind of, I guess, 160 00:18:01,870 --> 00:18:06,700 structure your time or motivate yourself once you got the once you've got the job 161 00:18:06,700 --> 00:18:13,770 than you did when you were just trying to kind of write it during the pandemic? 162 00:18:13,770 --> 00:18:24,990 I think I think it kind of it would vary quite a bit, depending on like basically the stage of of the pandemic and definitely there were some periods, 163 00:18:24,990 --> 00:18:33,990 especially when I had first come back, I get there was some periods of like being really, really unproductive. 164 00:18:33,990 --> 00:18:41,100 But generally I tried as much as possible to keep Monday to Friday, nine to five, 165 00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:51,600 or sometimes ten to four and I will have was mostly able to keep that up while still full time month on the PhD. 166 00:18:51,600 --> 00:19:03,600 But but yeah, I think it just. I can't really put my finger on it, it was almost like a switch was kind of flicked in terms of just. 167 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:11,820 Yeah, just in terms of realising that, OK, I have this amount of time, I have this many work days, two days, work days a week for the next two months. 168 00:19:11,820 --> 00:19:18,240 So two days on the PhD or the next two months, I really need to just get words on paper. 169 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,040 Felt like the edge. Getting words on paper became a lot easier. 170 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:27,720 But then a big part of that is also to do with a breakthrough that had around that time. 171 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,010 And that was kind of more to do with reading a new paper that just really clicked. 172 00:19:32,010 --> 00:19:38,420 So I think is very a combination of having that moment of data just coming together. 173 00:19:38,420 --> 00:19:44,400 But then also having that limited, limited amount of time, a limited amount of days. 174 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:53,590 Yeah, I experienced something similar when I did my Masters by research that actually the kind of the condensed amount of time actually helped me, 175 00:19:53,590 --> 00:19:58,300 helped me focus and helped me. Keep motivated. 176 00:19:58,300 --> 00:20:05,100 Also gave me kind of head space in between when I was doing other things to kind of, you know, little cogs to turn and things to click into me. 177 00:20:05,100 --> 00:20:13,330 Guess is something that I also remember from when I did my Masters as well. 178 00:20:13,330 --> 00:20:17,770 My partner and I, we both had part time jobs while we're doing the Masters. 179 00:20:17,770 --> 00:20:22,480 And remember the whole thesis process when we spoke about this, 180 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:32,080 we were on the same master's programme when we spoke about our experience of writing a thesis with friends who had just only had it to focus on. 181 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,370 I think I was actually ended up quite a lot. Wasn't easy. 182 00:20:36,370 --> 00:20:43,750 Thesis is never easy, but it always ended up a little a little bit easier because we kind of did have that. 183 00:20:43,750 --> 00:20:46,330 A few days a week when working in retail. 184 00:20:46,330 --> 00:20:52,870 And it was something you would really focus on and be quite present in that and be able to kind of just drop away, 185 00:20:52,870 --> 00:20:59,800 at least consciously, not be thinking about about the thesis and then being able to compartmentalise your time, be like, okay. 186 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:06,200 Now I have this. Now I've got my work shift in the morning. I've then got this afternoon where I need to be productive. 187 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:12,880 I'll go to the library and do that. So I think, yeah, I understand it doesn't work for may not work for everyone, 188 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:18,550 but I've definitely found that having something else to kind of give structure, 189 00:21:18,550 --> 00:21:29,650 to give structure, but also it's to give to something else where you can say find it certainly unconsciously and also consciously the PhD 190 00:21:29,650 --> 00:21:32,560 And we'll still pop into my mind when I'm doing other things. 191 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:41,890 But kind of having that separation and being able to do something that isn't the PhD basically. the question I often 192 00:21:41,890 --> 00:21:49,270 ask people is kind of at what point did you decide that you didn't want to continue on doing research in academia? 193 00:21:49,270 --> 00:21:57,970 Was that never even a consideration for you? This is the billion dollar question now. 194 00:21:57,970 --> 00:22:07,230 Down at. So I I feel like I kind of straddle the. 195 00:22:07,230 --> 00:22:18,190 I do want to call it a divide, straddle the kind of one foot being a bike practitioner, one foot being a researcher. 196 00:22:18,190 --> 00:22:23,940 And so I was working for an NGO before my PhD and that kind of thing. 197 00:22:23,940 --> 00:22:30,150 A bit frustrated about that. And just felt like I wanted to continue my my academic education. 198 00:22:30,150 --> 00:22:34,710 I think it was a case of just do a really interesting PhD 199 00:22:34,710 --> 00:22:39,810 The opportunity came up through the work. I was I was doing that. 200 00:22:39,810 --> 00:22:45,510 That's how I met one of my PhD supervisors. And it was just such an exciting project. 201 00:22:45,510 --> 00:22:51,390 It was really. Yes. It was more the kids. 202 00:22:51,390 --> 00:22:58,030 I wasn't actively looking for PhD at all. At that point, I kind of considered that it might be something I do. 203 00:22:58,030 --> 00:23:03,280 And something really interesting came up. So I decided to pursue it. 204 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:13,860 I think probably, I'll be honest with you, probably not long after I started, appears the I was fairly sure I didn't want to stay in academia. 205 00:23:13,860 --> 00:23:18,900 I definitely wanted to stick with the PhD and I'm glad I have stuck with it. 206 00:23:18,900 --> 00:23:26,180 Of course, there are times where you feel I felt like I was on the brink of giving up. 207 00:23:26,180 --> 00:23:29,080 But I wouldn't say I was ever 100 percent certain. 208 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:38,040 I didn't want to stay in academia, I think, again, it would be like if it was something that really interested me or is really, 209 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,330 really well aligned with my interests and my values. 210 00:23:40,330 --> 00:23:49,980 And I probably would have gone for it, but I don't think I would have looked for post-doc for the sake of doing one if if that makes sense. 211 00:23:49,980 --> 00:23:54,240 Not not that that's there's anything wrong with that. Yeah. 212 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:59,010 I just never really was never set on a career in academia. 213 00:23:59,010 --> 00:24:04,590 But I definitely feel like compared with where I was at the beginning of the PhD 214 00:24:04,590 --> 00:24:08,940 And I do think that the PhD is the experience, 215 00:24:08,940 --> 00:24:15,600 the research experience working on a big collaborative project is it's really I've definitely grown 216 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:22,830 a lot and a lot of what I'm doing in my current role is a technical input on social monitoring, 217 00:24:22,830 --> 00:24:25,290 evaluation and in social research. 218 00:24:25,290 --> 00:24:34,050 So there is a very strong research element to it that I feel like I probably wasn't strong enough on before doing the PhD 219 00:24:34,050 --> 00:24:39,180 So I think that this new role that I'm in is in what if if I call a crosscutting, 220 00:24:39,180 --> 00:24:44,250 teams are kind of supporting different teams with this technical input is it's kind of like 221 00:24:44,250 --> 00:24:50,620 the perfect next step in kind of balancing being both a practitioner and a researcher. 222 00:24:50,620 --> 00:24:53,370 So being. Yeah. 223 00:24:53,370 --> 00:25:07,740 Very applied and pragmatic and focussed on the ground sort of work, but then really guided by cutting edge research and theoretical frameworks. 224 00:25:07,740 --> 00:25:13,620 Yes, it's. It really does sound like the ideal combination. Yeah. 225 00:25:13,620 --> 00:25:17,280 I still sometimes kind of pinch myself that I've been able to get the job. 226 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:23,910 And I like I say, I do feel very, very fortunate, you know, knowing other people who are applying for jobs right now. 227 00:25:23,910 --> 00:25:26,010 And it is just a very difficult market. 228 00:25:26,010 --> 00:25:34,780 So I feel very fortunate that something that really does draw together the research and practise side of things. 229 00:25:34,780 --> 00:25:39,240 Yeah, I feel very fortunate to have been able to to secure this role. 230 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:47,010 Thank you so much to Timur for giving us an insight into working for an NGO. 231 00:25:47,010 --> 00:25:52,500 And the real tangible benefits that can bring to being a researcher in that practical 232 00:25:52,500 --> 00:26:00,660 applied context to balancing a part time job and career alongside finishing up the PhD. 233 00:26:00,660 --> 00:26:08,910 And, of course, what it's like to go through the process of all of this during the COVID 19 pandemic. 234 00:26:08,910 --> 00:26:24,637 And that's it for this episode. Join us next time when we'll be talking to another researcher about that career beyond their research degree.
Hello and welcome to today's episode of the Migration & Diaspora Podcast, with me your host Loksan Harley. Today, I have Jermaine Grant on the show, who joins us from his hometown of Georgetown, Guyana. Jermaine has been working in the field of migration for the past 10 years. Most recently he was a Technical Officer, working with Guyana's Minister of Citizenship - a role which involved advising his government on migration policy and programmes, especially in relation to support to Venezuelan migrants and refugees. Previously, Jermaine worked as a Programme Officer for the International Organization for Migration (IOM), where he led the Caribbean interventions of the ACP-EU Migration Action programme, a technical assistance programme that I was fortunate enough to work with on several occasions. Jermaine coordinated the implementation of 13 migration-related technical assistance projects in support of governments and regional organisations across the Caribbean. And Jermaine has also had his own migration experience too, earning a Master's degree at the University of East Anglia in the UK as part of the Chevening Scholarship programme. Jermaine is a really unique character who both lives and breathes the Caribbean in all the region's richness and diversity, while also bringing a global perspective that's so important to working on migration issues. In our conversation, we touch on many aspects of Caribbean migration, including the main flows and trends, intra-regional migration, extra-regional migration, freedom of movement frameworks within the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the Eastern Caribbean (OECS), human trafficking, migrant smuggling, the Venezuelan crisis, and the potential of the Caribbean diaspora to contribute to the region's development. I highly recommend tuning in if only to enjoy that smooth Caribbean accent and to learn a few expressions of Guyanese Creole! Just a quick apology for the sound quality. We had some technical issues but these seem to have been resolved about 15 minutes in so please do persist. As always, I'd like to thank you for listening and hope you enjoy the show.

On 31 December 2019, the first reported outbreak of the current coronavirus (COVID-19) was said to be in Wuhan, China. Since that first reported outbreak in China, the disease has spread rapidly across the world and caused thousands of death and put many people in critical condition. However, it is also important to note that many who contracted the disease have also succesfully recovered from it. In this bonus episode of The Tefo Mohapi Show I spoke to Dr. Mary Stephen, Technical Officer at the World Health Organization's Regional Office for Africa, about the coronavirus. Dr. Stephen explains what the disease is, clarifies some major myths, explains why we should take it seriously, and more. What is also insightful, despite a lot of the fake news (disinformation and misinformation) that is being circulated about COVID-19, is that from a scientific point of view as Dr. Stephen explains in the podcast there is currently no known effective treatment or vaccine of coronavirus as research and investigations into its origins, transmissibility, and treatment are ongoing.
InteraXon makes Muse, the brain sensing headband. Muse works by guiding your meditation through changing sounds of weather based on the real-time state of your brain. CTO Chris Aimone shares with us how InteraXon came up with the idea of marrying meditation to technology. He also discusses how the masses use technology to stimulate themselves when it is also equally effective at reducing stress and creating a mind state ripe for new ideas to happen.
