Nguyên thủ Mỹ những ngày cuối tháng 5/2025 đã có những tuyên bố gay gắt đối với tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin, rằng ông « hoàn toàn điên rồ », « đang đùa với lửa »…Những lời chỉ trích này phải chăng đánh dấu một bước ngoặt trong chính sách của ông Trump về Nga? Phải chăng Donald Trump đang thoát khỏi sự kìm kẹp ảnh hưởng từ đồng nhiệm Nga ? Trên đây là những thắc mắc từ nhiều nhà quan sát. Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump có những phát biểu như trên sau những đợt oanh kích quy mô lớn chưa từng có tính từ đầu cuộc xung đột Nga – Ukraina, phối hợp tên lửa và drone nhắm vào nhiều vùng trên lãnh thổ Ukraina.Thiếu kiên nhẫn chiến thuậtPhải chăng tổng thống Nga đã đánh mất sự hậu thuẫn của Donald Trump ? Cựu đại sứ Pháp tại Nga giai đoạn 2020-2024, Pierre Lévy, trên làn sóng RFI Pháp ngữ ngày 27/05/2025, tỏ ra cẩn trọng khi cho rằng đối với Donald Trump, « cần phải chờ xem » những tuyên bố sắp tới.Nhưng theo ông, điều này thể hiện rõ một phương pháp tồi từ phía Washington, « không phải là cách để đối phó với Nga », với một dân tộc mà trong tâm trí luôn quan niệm rằng « nhà lãnh đạo thống trị và tự ngự trị mình. Do vậy, vị lãnh đạo đó không có tâm trạng và ông ta không nên thể hiện cảm xúc quá mức. Đó là dấu hiệu của sự yếu đuối ».Cũng theo cựu đại sứ Pháp Pierre Lévy, cách tiếp cận này của Nga là rất rõ ràng, được thể hiện rõ qua lời đáp trả của phát ngôn viên điện Kremlin Dmitri Peskov khi đánh giá những phát biểu của Donald Trump là « trả lời theo cảm xúc trước các sự kiện ».Nhà ngoại giao Pháp giải thích tiếp : « Vì vậy, tôi thấy rằng về cơ bản đây là một cách tiếp cận khá khinh thường. Vụ việc thể hiện sự tương phản giữa một bên là sự thiếu kiên nhẫn về chiến thuật của Donald Trump và bên kia là sự kiên nhẫn chiến lược của Nga với một quyết tâm lạnh lùng. Và do vậy, không chút tâm trạng. »Vladimir Putin : Ukraina chỉ là « Tiểu Nga »Sự thiếu kiên nhẫn đó có lẽ phần nào phản ảnh tâm trạng hụt hẫng của Donald Trump khi nhận ra rằng ông không dễ chấm dứt chiến tranh « trong vòng 24 giờ » như tuyên bố khi vận động tranh cử. Ngày 04/06/2025, sau cuộc điện đàm với đồng nhiệm Nga Vladimir Putin, tổng thống Trump thừa nhận sẽ không có « hòa bình tức thì » giữa Kiev và Matxcơva.Một sự thật hiển nhiên và chẳng có gì đáng ngạc nhiên. Ông Brian Whitmore, nhà nghiên cứu, giáo sư trường đại học Texas – Arlington, trên trang Atlantic Council ngày 29/05/2025, từng viết là sẽ « không có một thỏa thuận nào với Nga về Ukraina. Điều đó chưa bao giờ có và sẽ chẳng bao giờ có ».Đơn giản là vì, theo ông, không có một công thức kỳ diệu nào, không một nhượng bộ hay một sự mặc cả lớn nào có thể thỏa mãn những mục tiêu tối đa và mang tính tiêu diệt của điện Kremlin : Chấm dứt chủ quyền, quốc gia và nhà nước Ukraina. Trong khi Ukraina muốn tiếp tục tồn tại như một quốc gia có chủ quyền độc lập. Do vậy, không có một sự thỏa hiệp nào là khả thi.Trong một cuộc trao đổi với đồng nhiệm Mỹ, tổng thống Putin đã tuyên bố mọi giải pháp cho cuộc xung đột phải xử lý điều mà ông gọi là « nguồn cội sâu xa của xung đột ». Nói một cách cụ thể, đó là sự tồn tại của Ukraina như là một quốc gia có chủ quyền, điều mà từ lâu ông Putin coi là đáng nguyền rủa.Tại thượng đỉnh NATO ở Bucarest, Bulgari năm 2008, trước sự hiện diện của đồng nhiệm Mỹ lúc bấy giờ là George W. Bush, tổng thống Nga đã nói rằng « Ukraina thậm chí không phải là một quốc gia », mà chỉ là một « Tiểu Nga » như nhiều lần ông nói đến. Đây là một thuật ngữ được sử dụng dưới thời Sa hoàng để mô tả vùng lãnh thổ Ukraina. Vẫn theo ông Whitemore, « đối với ông Putin và giới tinh hoa điện Kremlin, sự thống trị thuộc địa Nga đối với Ukraina là một vấn đề tư tưởng không thể đàm phán ».Quyết tâm chinh phục Ukraina của Nga đã được một trong những nhà tư tưởng Nga thân cận với Putin, Vladimir Medinsky, thể hiện rõ qua tuyên bố « Nga sẵn sàng chiến đấu mãi mãi » và không quên nhắc lại cuộc chiến tranh phương Bắc 1700 – 1721 chống Thụy Điển trong vòng 21 năm. Trong cuộc đàm phán tại Istanbul gần đây, ông thách thức phái đoàn Ukraina : « Các người có thể sẵn sàng chiến đấu trong bao lâu ? ».Kinh tế : Mắc xích yếu của Nga, mồi nhử Donald TrumpTuy nhiên, Nga cũng ý thức được rằng chiến tranh kéo dài, họ cũng trả giá đắt. Theo ước tính của Viện Nghiên cứu Chiến tranh Mỹ, trong vòng bốn tháng đầu năm 2025, cứ mỗi một cây số vuông đất Ukraina chiếm được, Nga mất gần như 100 quân.Với nhịp độ này, Nga sẽ phải mất đến gần 4 năm để chiếm hết phần còn lại của bốn vùng Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporijia và Kherson mà Matxcơva đòi sáp nhập vào Nga, và có lẽ phải mất gần một thế kỷ để chiếm toàn bộ Ukraina, ngoại trừ các khu vực biên giới phía Tây nước này, với cái giá phải trả là 50 triệu thương vong, tương đương với khoảng 1/3 dân số Nga hiện nay.Nền kinh tế Nga hiện tại gặp khó khăn nhưng vẫn chống chọi được với các biện pháp trừng phạt của phương Tây. Nhưng nếu kéo dài cuộc chiến, kinh tế của Nga chịu được sức ép trong bao lâu nếu phương Tây bền bỉ duy trì áp lực với Matxcơva ?Trong điều kiện này, mục tiêu của điện Kremlin đối với Hoa Kỳ là tìm cách tách rời cuộc chiến với mối quan hệ Nga – Mỹ, bình thường hóa quan hệ song phương Matxcơva – Washington, và được nới lỏng trừng phạt. Tổng thống Nga Putin đưa « củ cà rốt », mời mọc Mỹ hợp tác khai thác đất hiếm. Ông tuyên bố mối quan hệ hợp tác kinh tế mới giữa Mỹ và Nga sẽ có lợi hơn cho đôi bên, nhất là trong lĩnh vực năng lượng nếu như « lệnh trừng phạt được dỡ bỏ »…Những ý tưởng mà ông Trump có vẻ như không muốn bỏ lỡ. Nguyên thủ Mỹ bày tỏ ý muốn thiết lập quan hệ kinh tế bình thường với Matxcơva. Đây có lẽ sẽ là một sai lầm, bởi vì điều đó sẽ giúp mang lại cho ông Putin chút dưỡng khí để tiếp tục cuộc chiến tại Ukraina. Thực tế trên chiến trường cũng đã cho thấy rõ : Bất chấp các cuộc đàm phán, Nga gia tăng oanh kích bắn phá các thành phố của Ukraina.Theo phân tích từ cựu đại sứ Pháp Pierre Lévy, trên đài RFI, « tổng thống Nga vẫn chưa đi chệch mục tiêu ban đầu của mình, đó là phá vỡ chủ quyền của Ukraina và đi đến cùng các mục tiêu của mình. Nói một cách đơn giản, trong phương trình này, ông phải cẩn trọng để cho ông Trump không hoàn toàn phải xa lánh. Ông ấy có thể điều khiển ông Trump, sao cho người đồng cấp vẫn hiện diện ở đó. Và đến một lúc nào đó thì ông Putin sẽ chuyển qua bước tiếp theo … »Ukraina : Chống trả hay đầu hàng, chọn lựa sinh tửĐây cũng là điều khiến nhà sử học, giáo sư Laurence Saint-Gilles, trường đại học Sorbonne, Pháp lo lắng. Trái với Ronald Reagan, vị tổng thống thứ 40 của Hoa Kỳ giai đoạn 1981 – 1989, chỉ bắt đầu đàm phán với Matxcơva sau khi đã tái lập đươc thế ưu việt chiến lược của Mỹ, tổng thống Trump đã vội vàng đồng ý ngay lập tức hầu hết các yêu cầu của đồng nhiệm Nga trước khi bắt đầu đàm phán, biến câu nói « hòa bình thông qua sức mạnh » thành « hòa bình thông qua đầu hàng ».Về phía Ukraina, bất chấp màn hạ nhục trước ống kính quốc tế tại Phòng Bầu Dục và những dọa dẫm cắt viện trợ quân sự, tổng thống Trump không nhận được sự nhượng bộ nào từ Kiev để có thể nhanh chóng đi đến một lệnh ngừng bắn, mở đường cho đàm phán hòa bình.Nhà nghiên cứu Brian Whitemore dẫn nhận định từ nhà chính trị học Ukraina Anton Shekhovtsov đưa ra hồi trung tuần tháng 5/2025, nêu lên một thực tế cay đắng : « Ukraina phải chọn giữa chống trả và nguy cơ bị giết, hay đầu hàng và bị giết. Bằng cách chống trả, Ukraina có một cơ hội, nhưng nếu đầu hàng, họ sẽ không có cơ hội nào và do vậy, việc đầu hàng không phải là một giải pháp khả thi. »Trong hoàn cảnh này, các nước Pháp, Anh, Đức và khối Liên Hiệp Châu Âu nỗ lực gia tăng viện trợ cho Ukraina và ban hành một loạt trừng phạt mới nhắm vào Nga. Thủ tướng Đức Friedrich Merz gần đây dỡ bỏ giới hạn tầm bắn đối với vũ khí Đức cung cấp cho Ukraina, buộc Matx cơva phải lên tiếng cảnh báo đó là « một quyết định nguy hiểm ».Dù vậy, ông Brian Whitemore cảnh báo một trong những thách thức lớn nhất trong tương lai là châu Âu có sẽ vượt qua được những chia rẽ trong nội bộ, nhất là từ các nước Hungary và Slovakia, và có thể cung cấp được vũ khí cho Ukraina hay không.Donald Trump có thoát được bóng Putin ?  Về phía Washington, các nước đồng minh châu Âu của Ukraina và giới quan sát đều có một câu hỏi : Liệu Donald Trump có thoát được chiếc bẫy Nga để ban hành loạt trừng phạt mới hay không, với hy vọng có thể chặn đứng được tham vọng bành trướng của Matxcơva và đi đến đàm phán hòa bình ?Nhà sử học Laurence Saint-Gilles trên La Croix lưu ý thêm rằng, nếu như những quyết định của Nhà Trắng cho đến lúc này làm hài lòng một bộ phận cử tri thân Nga, chống viện trợ cho Ukraina, thì Donald Trump khó thể phớt lờ một bộ phận lớn người dân Mỹ ủng hộ Ukraina và xem Nga như là một kẻ thù.Đây không phải lần đầu tiên Donald Trump bày tỏ bất bình công khai với đồng cấp Nga Vladimir Putin, nhưng không ai có thể đoán đâu là phạm vi hành động của ông. Theo quan điểm Laurence Saint-Gilles, tổng thống Trump rất có thể « núp bóng » sau một cuộc bỏ phiếu tại Thượng viện, vốn dĩ đã báo hiệu ý định áp đặt các lệnh trừng phạt mới đối với Nga và áp đặt mức thuế quan nặng đối với các quốc gia mua dầu, khí đốt và uranium của Nga.Kết quả của cuộc bỏ phiếu này sẽ cho thấy những phản ứng gay gắt gần đây của Donald Trump chỉ là phản ứng cảm xúc, hay là khởi đầu của một cuộc giải thoát khỏi sự quyến rũ mà tổng thống Nga đang tác động lên ông!

Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the Earth's atmosphere, it is essential to life and biological processes, and yet it is virtually impossible to access nitrogen absent the mediation of something or someone that can “fix” gaseous atmospheric nitrogen into a stable form. Historically, these mediators were biological organisms, such as cyanobacteria, that can fix nitrogen and make it available in the ecosystem and economy. Not until the advent of modern chemistry and chemical industries did a method for synthetically fixing nitrogen exist, but once developed, it became an essential component of the human economies of agriculture and warfare. In his latest research, Chris Morris, professor of history at the University of Texas – Arlington, explores the long history of nitrogen, from the guano islands of Peru to its modern re-creation as an industrially-produced, globally-traded commodity. Using Hagley Library collections including the DuPont Company archives, Morris reveals a hidden history that connects sharecroppers in Alabama, soldiers on World War battlefields, chemists in laboratories, and diplomats in world capitals. In support of his work, Morris received funding from the Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society at the Hagley Museum and Library.

In this episode I'm joined by my Dracula Vibes panel, Drs Madeline Potter, Theadora Jean and Daniel Kasper!We discuss how Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's novella Carmilla influenced Dracula, and the legacy Le Fanu's work has today. We consider the queer elements of the work, as well as the way Anglo-Irish identity features in Le Fanu's writing. We think about the way frame narrative benefits Gothic literature overall, and also how a Le Fanu renaissance could be occurring in academia and beyond, to raise the profile of these Gothic works. Bios: Dr Madeline Potter is an early career teaching & research fellow in the long 19th century at the University of Edinburgh. She works on 19th century gothic literature and theology, with a focus on monstrosity.. Her academic monograph, Theological Monsters: Religion and Irish Gothic, is forthcoming with University of Wales Press. She is also writing a trade book, The Roma: A Travelling History, to be published by The Bodley Head in the UK and Harper Collins in the USA. Dr Theadora Jean is a Gothic scholar and writer. She recently completed her creative-critical doctorate at Royal Holloway, and her research specialisms include the 19th century, Dracula adaptation, Romanticism, anti-racism, and interdisciplinarity.

From his studio in Dania Beach, Florida, Rob Stern creates his signature Windstar sculptures, dedicated to his father, a consummate stargazer fascinated by cosmic phenomena. Stern was also inspired by his surname, which means star in German. The artist often names his stars to reveal their celestial spheres. Copernica is derived from Copernicus, visible in the evening sky over Miami Beach. Polaris, known as the North Star, is the brightest in the constellation of Ursa Minor. Antares is the 15th brightest star in the night sky and is part of the constellation Scorpius. Other Windstar titles conjure colors and experiences, such as Red Dawn, which takes its name from a glowing red center or Modra, the Czech word for blue. Stern's Windstars are a testament to his deep understanding of glass and belief that the material takes him where it wants to go during the making process. Another iconic body of work, Stern's Stilettos, was inspired by his wife's vast collection of designer shoes that includes Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, and Alexander McQueen. However, these glass slippers are even more extreme with wild bejeweled designs that could make even Lady Gaga swoon.  Stern states: “My creative endeavors and sculptures are mere stepping stones towards my search for understanding life. Harmonic instances between what I sense and do are the signals that guide me through my processes and prompt daily decisions. My works act as a communicative device which seeks to connect my thoughts and my actions to the collective human consciousness. A path seeking insight and enlightenment carries me forwards and always seems to bring me back to the glass.” His mother an art teacher and father a filmmaker, Stern attended Northside High School for Performing Arts in Atlanta, Georgia, where he was part of an elite group that performed internationally. He later pursued visual arts, receiving a BFA from San Francisco State University (1989) and an MFA from the University of Miami (2003). Other glass training includes a five-year apprenticeship with John Lewis Glass, Oakland, California, where he trained to be a metal fabricator and expert glass caster/cold-worker. Stern went on to assist Czech master Petr Novotny and worked in the Czech glass factories as a designer/maker for two years. The artist also assisted or collaborated with many masters such as Dale Chihuly, William Morris, Martin Blank, Richard Royal, Richard Jolley, Dante Marioni, Therman Statom, Stanislav Libensky, Rene Roubicek, and Vladimir Klien, among many others. Lecturing at the University of Miami for 10 years, Stern also acted as interim professor at University of Texas Arlington in 2009. He has frequented the premier glass institutions, most notably Pilchuck Glass School, Stanwood, Washington, for a 30-year consecutive run where he has taught, been a gaffer, TA, AA, and worked with the most notable international artists. Dedicated to education, the artist has also taught at the Corning Museum of Glass, New York; the Penland School of Craft, North Carolina; The Glass Furnace, Istanbul, Turkey; Bildwerk Frauenau, Germany; and Ways of Glass, Czech Republic. Stern designed and created many centerpiece collections for various institutions including Pilchuck in 2011, and he received the Amazon award for his Pilchuck auction piece in 2021. This year he has a prominent piece in Pilchuck's October Auction. Currently involved in long-term residencies at YZ Center for the Arts, China, and Bezaiten Arts Center in Lake Worth, Florida, Stern will serve as the future director of glass at The Dania Art Park, now in development. Meanwhile he and his team design and create original sculpture, architectural commissions, and unique lighting that has been commissioned, exhibited, and collected internationally. Recently, the artist participated in Habatat Gallery's Glass 51 exhibition, and several of his works were acquired by Imagine Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. Eighty of his pieces have become part of the permanent collection of the Weiner Museum of Decorative Arts (WMODA), Dania Beach, Florida. Says Stern: “My aesthetic resides at the crossroads where humans and nature intersect. Between organic and angular, a space connects the temporary man-made to the pre-existing and eternal cosmos. Here, we begin to measure our perspective and contemplate the perception of our place in the world as it is one that is always changing with the evolution of space, light, and time. I venture to capture moments with materials that speak to a fleeting sensibility of the permanence or importance of this balancing act. Color and form dictate emotion, and humanity is transcended as we reflect in the inherent rhythm and fractal patterning in this natural world. My constant observation of details persuades my attention to nuances in an attempt to mimic the complexity of its simplicity.”  Stern's work will be exhibited at Kittrell Riffkind in Dallas, Texas, in April 2024.

Meet SonyaI was born and raised in Walterboro, South Carolina. I was told that at the age of three, I told my family that I wanted to be a nurse.  After high school, I attended college for two years at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, where I thought I wanted to major in Industrial Psychology.  Somehow, nursing was not on my compass at the time and I took a different path.I left Spelman and came home to hold various jobs. I became a career administrative assistant for various industries, such as financial (working for CFO, Controller, Credit Manager) and legal (assistant for corporate bankruptcy, immigration, school education, and environmental lawyers).  When presented with the opportunity to attend law school, I decided then that, although I liked what I did, it was not what I truly wanted to pursue for a career.I decided to go back to school at Trident Technical College in 2003.  I finished with my ADN in 2006.  I had begun as a Student Tech on 8D during my last year at Trident but I had always been interested in the OR so I decided to take a job in the Main Operating Room as a new grad.  I started in 2006 and since then, I have become the Unit Magnet Champion, RNIII, Selecting Talent Peer Interviewer, member of the OR Shared Governance Council, CNOR, and Unit Certification Champion.  I became a mid-shift staff nurse where I was exposed to multiple services:  Urology, GYN, DaVinci, ENT/Plastics/Oral, Ortho, Neuro and Pediatrics.  This gave me a wealth of knowledge and I became a resource and mentor to many. I decided to go back to school in 2014 to receive my BSN, which  I received from University of Texas – Arlington in December 2016.  I also received my MSN program in Nurse Education there in 2018.   I am one of the Nursing Professional Development Specialists for the ORs at a large academic medical center, where I am the lead for orientation/onboarding for 50 ORs. Links Sonya on Instagram Learn more about supporting the Don't Eat Your Young Podcast with a membership — visit Don't Eat Your Young's membership page!

In this episode I'm joined by a special panel: Dr Madeline Potter, Theadora Jean, and Dr Daniel Kasper, who all research into Gothic literature (specifically, Dracula!) We discuss how their interest in Dracula began, and the different academic (and side) projects they have worked on. We focus on the positive and negative aspects of adaptations, and the assumptions we have (perhaps incorrectly gained) about the Dracula figure. Discussions also include ideas of monstrosity and how this is not reflected in adaptations; ideas of cultural sensitivity, especially when considering the Romanian folklore and setting, and whether the novel can be considered feminist.TRIGGER WARNING: This episode features discussions around sexual assault/rape, and references to racism in literature.About the panel: Madeline Potter is a postdoctoral fellow at Edge Hill University's EHU19. She works on Irish Gothic literature and theology. Her first academic monograph, ‘Theological Monsters: Religion and Irish Gothic' will be published by University of Wales Press, and she is currently editing a collection on vampires and theology. Theadora Jean is a Gothic scholar and writer. She is currently studying for a Critical & Creative Writing PhD at the Royal Holloway, University of London, on the 'New Woman' in Dracula. Her own gothic tales are published under a pseudonym, T.S.J. Harling. Daniel Kasper is an English Instructor at the University of Texas Arlington. He studies a wide range of Gothic texts including Dracula, with specific interests in feminist and biopolitical studies.

The common, inexpensive supplement was linked with a 44% reduction in suicide attempts and self-harm. With nearly 46,000 people in America dying by suicide in 2020, it is one of the leading causes of death in the US. To decrease the risk of suicide, experts recommend many strategies and treatments including psychotherapy, economic support, peer support, and medications such as antidepressants. Few if any would be likely to put folic acid supplements on that list. However, an eye-opening study recent conducted at the University of Chicago may change that. The study, published on in JAMA Psychiatry, used data from the health insurance claims of 866,586 patients. It investigated the relationship between folic acid treatment and suicide attempts over a two-year period. They found that patients who filled prescriptions for folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, experienced a 44% reduction in suicidal events (suicide attempts and intentional self-harm). Robert Gibbons, PhD, the lead author of the study, is hopeful that these findings could improve suicide prevention efforts, especially because of how accessible folic acid is. He is the Blum-Riese Professor of Biostatistics and Medicine at the University of Chicago. “There are no real side effects, it doesn't cost a lot of money, you can get it without a prescription,” Gibbons said. “This could potentially save tens of thousands of lives.” To investigate and further confirm the relationship between folic acid and suicide risk, Gibbons and his co-authors did this new study and focused specifically on folic acid, and accounted for many possible confounding factors, including age, sex, mental health diagnoses, other central nervous system drugs, conditions that affect folic acid metabolism, and more. Even after adjusting for all these factors, filling a prescription for folic acid was still associated with a decreased risk of attempting suicide. They even found that the longer a person took folic acid, the lower their risk of suicide attempt tended to be. Each month of being prescribed folic acid was associated with an additional 5% decrease in risk of suicide attempt during the 24-month follow-up period of their study. It also occurred to the authors that maybe people who take vitamin supplements, in general, want to improve their health and would thus be less likely to attempt suicide. To address this possibility, they did a similar analysis with another supplement, vitamin B12, as a negative control. But unlike folic acid, there didn't seem to be any relationship between vitamin B12 and risk of suicide. Zinc is cancer's worst enemy: This mineral is key to preventing cancer, scientists conclude University of Texas Arlington, October 3, 2022 Researchers from the University of Texas at Arlington have discovered the important role zinc can play in preventing cancer, especially the esophageal variety. Although past studies had indicated zinc had a protective effect on the esophagus when it comes to cancer, it wasn't clear why. A team of researchers led by Associate Professor of Nursing Zui Pan found that zinc has the incredibly useful ability to selectively stop the growth of cancerous cells while leaving normal esophageal epithelial cells intact. The researchers say their finding could help improve treatment for esophageal cancer and even provide some insight into how it might be prevented. Pan pointed out that many cancer patients have a zinc deficiency. It's a significant discovery; esophageal cancer is now the sixth-leading cause of cancer death in humans globally, and the average five-year survival rate for those with the disease is less than 20 percent. Zinc deficiency is a serious problem. It's needed for many of the proteins and enzymes in the body, and a lack of zinc can prevent cells from functioning properly, leading to the development of not only cancer but also other diseases. Zinc is also important for immune function and proper wound healing. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), adult men need 11 milligrams per day, while women need 8 milligrams. It's important not to go overboard, however; the NIH reports that zinc toxicity can cause adverse health effects, such as vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, and nausea. Listen! Birdsong is good for mental health Max Planck Institute for Human Development, October 13, 2022 When you next hear cheerful twittering of birds, you should stop and listen. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and the Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) have shown that birdsong reduces anxiety and irrational thoughts. Their findings are published in the journal Scientific Reports. In the study, the researchers examined how traffic noise and birdsong affect mood, paranoia, and cognitive functioning by carrying out a randomized online experiment with 295 participants. These individuals heard six minutes of either typical traffic noise or birdsong with varying numbers of different traffic sounds or birdsongs. Before and after hearing the sound clips, the participants filled in questionnaires assessing their mental health and performed cognitive tests. The present study suggests that listening to birdsong reduces anxiety and paranoia in healthy participants. Birdsong did not appear to have an influence on depressive states in this experiment. Traffic noise, however, generally worsened depressive states, especially if the audio clip involved many different kinds of traffic sounds. The positive influence of birdsong on mood is already known, but to the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is the first to reveal an effect on paranoid states. This was independent of whether the birdsong came from two or more different bird species. The researchers also found that neither birdsong nor traffic noise influenced cognitive performance. In the researchers' view, the explanation for these effects is that birdsong is a subtle indication of an intact natural environment, detracting attention from stressors that could otherwise signal an acute threat. Taken together, the results suggest interesting avenues for further research and applications, such as the active manipulation of background noise in different situations or the examination of its influence on patients with diagnosed anxiety disorders or paranoia. Vegetable hormone helps reverse brain alterations caused by high-fat diets, obesity University of Jaume I (Spain), October 8, 2022 The Neurobiotechnology research team of the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) in Castellón, Spain, headed by professor Ana María Sánchez, has proven the positive effects of a vegetable hormone, helping reverse brain alterations caused by high-fat diets, type-2 diabetes, obesity and physical inactivity. “We have verified how a vegetable hormone, abscisic acid in green leafy plants, is able to counter the deleterious effects that a high-fat diet has on the central nervous system,” explains Ana María Sánchez. By making use of this molecule, expressed in plants, on an animal model with neuroinflammation induced by a high-fat diet, the results of the study “have shown that the alterations on the expression of some genes would be reversed, as well as alterations in the creation process of new neurons – neurogenesis -, while we also noted a decrease of the inflammation markers in the brain,” adds the UJI professor. The study carried out in the UJI analyzed the expression of several genes related to the insulin signaling pathway together with the expression of genes which act as neuroinflammation markers with quantitative PCR. This way, as researcher Alberto Ribes Navarro argues, “we have been able to prove that the expression of proteins required for the proper functioning of insulin (the IRS) decreases in neuroinflammatory situations induced by a high-fat diet.” “With the addition of abscisic acid to the high-fat diet it is possible to recover the expression of these genes, even reaching normal levels”, he adds. With a high-fat diet they noticed alterations to cognitive functions, which were also recovered with the vegetable hormone treatment. Diets High in Processed Fiber May Increase Cancer Risk University Of Toledo, October 13, 2022 The study found that men who had high processed fiber intake and high blood bile acid levels had a 40% higher risk of liver cancer. Fiber-enriched foods are often consumed by many individuals to promote weight loss and fend against chronic diseases like cancer and diabetes. Consuming highly refined fiber, however, may raise the risk of liver cancer in certain people, especially those with a silent vascular deformity, according to a recent study from The University of Toledo. “We have worked for a long time on this idea that all diseases start from the gut,” said Dr. Matam Vijay-Kumar, a professor in the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology in the College of Medicine and Life Sciences and the paper's senior author. “This study is a notable advancement of that concept. It also provides clues that may help identify individuals at a higher risk for liver cancer and potentially enable us to lower that risk with simple dietary modifications.” Vijay-Kumar's team published a major paper in the journal Cell in 2018 that revealed a large proportion of mice with immune system defects developed liver cancer after being given an inulin-fortified diet. Inulin is a refined, plant-based fermentable fiber that is sold in supermarkets as a health-promoting prebiotic. Additionally, it is often found in processed foods.The findings raised real questions about the potential risks of certain refined fibers, but only now do we understand why the mice were developing such aggressive cancer.” The new study offers a clear explanation — and may have implications that go beyond laboratory animals. As the team furthered its investigation, the researchers discovered all mice that developed malignant tumors had high concentrations of bile acids in their blood caused by a previously unnoticed congenital defect called a portosystemic shunt. While all mice with excess bile acids in their blood were predisposed to liver injury, only those fed inulin progressed to hepatocellular carcinoma, a deadly primary liver cancer. Remarkably, 100% of the mice with high bile acids in their blood went on to develop cancer when fed inulin. None of the mice with low bile acids developed cancer when fed the same diet. Dietary inulin is good in subduing inflammation, but it can be subverted into causing immunosuppression, which is not good for the liver. Theorizing that high bile acid levels might serve as a viable marker for liver cancer risk, Vijay-Kumar's team tested bile acid levels in serum samples collected between 1985 and 1988 as part of a large-scale cancer prevention study. The research team also sought to examine the relationship between fiber consumption, bile acid levels, and liver cancer in humans. There are two basic types of naturally occurring dietary fiber, soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibers are fermented by gut bacteria into short-chain fatty acids. Insoluble fibers pass through the digestive system unchanged. Intriguingly, researchers found high total fiber intake reduced the risk of liver cancer by 29% in those whose serum bile acid levels were in the lowest quartile of their sample. However, in men whose blood bile acid levels placed them in the top quarter of the sample, high fiber intake conferred a 40% increased risk of liver cancer. What kinds of exercise can boost long-term memory? Georgia Institute of Technology October 5, 2022 Think that improving your memory is all brain training and omega-3 supplements? Think again. A study from researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta suggests that working out at the gym for as little as 20 minutes can improve long-term memory. Previous studies have shown that memory may be improved by several months of aerobic exercises, such as running, cycling or swimming. However, the findings of the new study – published in the journal Acta Psychologica – demonstrate that a similar memory boost can be achieved in a much shorter period. “Our study indicates that people don't have to dedicate large amounts of time to give their brain a boost,” says Lisa Weinberg who led the project. As well as looking at aerobic exercise, Weinberg's team also examined how resistance exercise – weightlifting, push-ups and sit-ups – might affect memory. The team recruited 46 participants (29 women and 17 men), who were randomly assigned into two groups. For the first part of the experiment, all participants viewed a series of 90 images on a computer screen. These images were split evenly been photographs that had been classed “positive,” “neutral,” and “negative.” These ranged from pictures of children playing on a waterslide, to photographs of clocks, to images of mutilated bodies. The participants were asked to try and remember as many of them as they could. Next, the participants were randomized into “active” and “passive” groups and seated at leg extension resistance exercise machines. The active group were told to extend and contract each leg 50 times, at their personal maximum effort. The passive group were told to simply sit in the chair and allow the machine to move their legs. Two days later, the participants were again shown the original 90 images they had seen previously, but this time they were mixed in with 90 new photos that the participants had not seen before. The researchers found about 50% of the original photos were recalled by the passive group, while the active group remembered about 60% of the images. All of the participants were better at recalling the positive and negative images than the neutral images, but this was even more true for the active participants.

Because you've got to have FAITH! In this episode of the podcast we do not cover WHAM or anything else George Michael-related. However, we DO talk about the incredible book recently released by noteworthy author, Christopher B. Owen. Faith is described as 'a romance beyond belief', it tells the story of Aaron (an atheist) falling in love with Faith (a Christian) and how their friends + family try to keep them apart, a true modern day Romeo & Juliet.  On this episode of the podcast Joe welcomes Chris and the two of them discuss 'Faith' which leads into a conversation around if we could truly see this type of relationship in the current political climate that we live in. The two also discuss Chris' writer origins and what other projects Chris is working on. We couldn't be more delighted to have Chris on the podcast and we look forward to having him back on to discuss his next project. Enjoy! About Christopher B. Owen Christopher B. Owen grew up in Texas where he developed a love for writing at an early age. He studied English Literature and Journalism in college, earning a B.A. in English from the University of Texas Arlington. After college, he worked a long and fruitful career in the aviation field, during which he was able to travel the world and experience many unique places and events that would later inform his writing. After retirement, Chris began writing full time, and over the course of the past decade he has seen over forty of his short stories traditionally published in print and online, and is now proud to announce the release of his first two novels, Euro Spree and Faith. Chris now lives in Colorado, surrounded by the gorgeous peaks of the Rocky Mountains, which he finds quite an inspiring and tranquil writing locale. He is at work on several new writing projects, and otherwise enjoys hiking the countryside, skiing, playing guitar, gourmet cooking and cocktail hour. About Faith While working on a routine music video shoot, Aaron Webner falls head over heels for the star of the show, Faith Carlyle. Just one problem, Faith is a devout Christian and the daughter of prominent televangelist Aubrey Carlyle. Quite surprisingly, Aaron and Faith hit it off, despite their seemingly contrasting beliefs. Initially, they keep their relationship on the sly, both from Faith's sanctimonious family and friends, but also from Aaron's secular world as well. As the tale progresses, however, matters come to a head when Aaron's atheism is revealed to Faith's parents. Make sure to check out the NEW Dtalkspodcast.com website!

A terrifying prediction for 2030 (the Great Reset) Inflation Will Wipe Out 50% of Population, It's the End of America Warns Robert Kiyosaki Diets high in N-3 polyunsaturated fats may help decrease risk of breast cancer A new study evaluates associations between breast cancer risk and intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, based on menopause status North American Menopause Society, July 27, 2022 Diet has long been reported to potentially affect breast cancer risk. Growing evidence suggests that n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may play a role in the pathogenesis of breast cancer. A new study documents an inverse association between breast cancer risk and n-3 PUFA consumption, especially in premenopausal women who are obese.  Previous studies have been conducted to investigate the association of n-3 PUFAs with breast cancer risk but have shown mixed results. Many of these studies were performed only in postmenopausal women because the peak age for breast cancer is 60 to 70 years in western countries, whereas it is age 40 to 50 years in Asian countries. In this latest hospital-based, case-control study including nearly 1,600 cases, researchers not only examined the association between the intake of n-3 PUFAs in general with breast cancer, but they also looked at the effect of individual n-3 PUFAs. Good sources of n-3 PUFAs include fish, vegetable oil, nuts (especially walnuts), flax seeds and flaxseed oil, and leafy vegetables. Because the human body does not produce n-3 fatty acids naturally, these food sources are essential. The study concluded that a higher intake of marine n-3 PUFAs and total n-3 PUFAs was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer. Dietary a-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, docosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid also were inversely associated with breast cancer risk. Such inverse associations were more evident in premenopausal women and women with certain types of breast tumors. In addition, a decreased risk of breast cancer was significantly associated with increasing n-3 PUFA intake in women who were overweight or obese but not in women of normal weight. There was a significant interaction between linoleic acid and marine n-3 PUFAs. Zinc can halt the growth of cancer cells, study reveals University of Texas Arlington,  July 22, 2022  Research out of the University of Texas at Arlington has found that zinc is integral in cancer prevention, particularly cancer of the esophagus. By the way, previous research had determined the importance of zinc and its protective effect for the esophagus; however, scientists were never sure exactly why this was so. Researchers out of the UTA College of Nursing and Health Innovation partnered with an experienced esophageal cancer researcher. Their efforts determined that zinc actually targets esophageal cancer cells while leaving normal cells alone. It seems that it works by impeding overactive calcium signaling in the cancer cells, which isn't a problem in normal cells. In this way, zinc inhibits cancer selectively, only in the cells that are exhibiting this behavior. Supplementation of just 15 mg of zinc daily has been found to improve T-cell functioning and increase the body's ability to fight infection, according University of Florida researchers.  Harm from blue light exposure increases with age, research suggests Oregon State University, July 27, 2022 The damaging effects of daily, lifelong exposure to the blue light emanating from phones, computers and household fixtures worsen as a person ages, new research by Oregon State University suggests. The study, published today in Aging, involved Drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly, an important model organism because of the cellular and developmental mechanisms it shares with other animals and humans. Jaga Giebultowicz, a researcher in the OSU College of Science who studies biological clocks, led a collaboration that examined the survival rate of flies kept in darkness and then moved at progressively older ages to an environment of constant blue light from light-emitting diodes, or LEDs. The darkness-to-light transitions occurred at the ages of two, 20, 40 and 60 days, and the study involved blue light's effect on the mitochondria of the flies' cells. “The novel aspect of this new study is showing that chronic exposure to blue light can impair energy-producing pathways even in cells that are not specialized in sensing light,” Giebultowicz said. “We determined that specific reactions in mitochondria were dramatically reduced by blue light, while other reactions were decreased by age independent of blue light. You can think of it as blue light exposure adding insult to injury in aging flies.” The scientists note that natural light is crucial for a person's circadian rhythm—the 24-hour cycle of physiological processes such as brain wave activity, hormone production and cell regeneration that are important factors in eating and sleeping patterns. But there is evidence suggesting that increased exposure to artificial light is a risk factor for sleep and circadian disorders, Giebultowicz said. And with the prevalent use of LED lighting and device displays, humans are subjected to increasing amounts of light in the blue spectrum since commonly used LEDs emit a high fraction of blue light. In the earlier research, flies subjected to daily cycles of 12 hours in light and 12 hours in darkness had shorter lives compared to flies kept in total darkness or those kept in light with the blue wavelengths filtered out. The flies exposed to blue light showed damage to their retinal cells and brain neurons and had impaired locomotion—the flies' ability to climb the walls of their enclosures, a common behavior, was diminished. Amla Extract May Boost Endotheial Function, Immune Response and More Nizam Institute of Medical Sciences (India), July 18, 2022 Endothelial dysfunction (ED) has been observed in individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and contributes to the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. The primary management of MetS involves lifestyle modifications and treatment of its individual components with drugs all of which have side effects. Thus, it would be of advantageous if natural products would be used as adjuncts or substitutes for conventional drugs. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of standardized aqueous extract of fruits of amla (P. emblica) 250 mg and 500 mg twice daily on ED, oxidative stress, systemic inflammation and lipid profile in subjects with MetS. Out of 65 screened subjects all 59 enrolled completed the study. Amla aqueous extract (PEE), 250 mg and 500 mg twice daily dosing, showed significant reduction in mean RI, measure of endothelial function, at 8 and 12 weeks compared to baseline and placebo. PEE 500 mg twice daily was significantly more efficacious than the 250 mg twice daily and placebo. No participant discontinued the study because of adverse events. Amla aqueous extract significantly improved endothelial function, oxidative stress, systemic inflammation and lipid profile at both dosages tested, but especially at 500 mg twice daily. Thus, this product may be used as an adjunct to conventional therapy (lifestyle modification and pharmacological intervention) in the management of metabolic syndrome. Histamine-producing gut bacteria can trigger chronic abdominal pain McMaster University and Queen's University (Ontario), July 27 ,2022 Researchers from McMaster University and Queen's University have discovered a gut bacterial “super-producer” of histamine that can cause pain flare-ups in some patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The culprit is what has now been named Klebsiella aerogenes, identified in up to 25 percent of gut microbiota samples from patients with IBS. Researchers examined stool microbiota samples from both Canadian and American patient cohorts. “We followed up these patients for several months and found high levels of stool histamine at the time when the patients reported severe pain, and low stool histamine when they were pain-free,” said senior author Premysl Bercik, professor of medicine of McMaster's School of Medicine. The McMaster-Queen's research team pinpointed the bacterium Klebsiella aerogenes as the key histamine producer by studying germ-free mice colonized with gut microbiota from patients with IBS. They also colonized some mice with gut microbiota from healthy volunteers as a control group. The study found that the bacterium Klebsiella aerogenes converts dietary histidine, an essential amino acid present in animal and plant protein, into histamine, a known mediator of pain. The bacterial histamine then activates the gut immune system through histamine-4 receptor, which draws immune mast cells into the intestines. These activated mast cells produce even more histamine and other pain-signaling mediators, triggering inflammation and pain. The study found that when the mice colonized with histamine producing bacteria were fed a diet low in fermentable carbohydrates, bacterial histamine production dramatically decreased. This was due to change in bacterial fermentation and acidity within the gut, which inhibited the bacterial enzyme responsible for histamine production. Bercik said that these results explain the beneficial effects of a low fermentable diet observed in patients with IBS. Eating more ultra-processed foods associated with increased risk of dementia Tianjin Medical University (China), July 27, 2022 People who eat the highest amounts of ultra-processed foods like soft drinks, chips and cookies may have a higher risk of developing dementia than those who eat the lowest amounts, according to a new study published in the online issue of Neurology. Researchers also found that replacing ultra-processed foods in a person's diet with unprocessed or minimally processed foods was associated with a lower risk. The study does not prove that ultra-processed foods cause dementia. It only shows an association. Ultra-processed foods are high in added sugar, fat and salt, and low in protein and fiber. They include soft drinks, salty and sugary snacks, ice cream, sausage, deep-fried chicken, yogurt, canned baked beans and tomatoes, ketchup, mayonnaise, packaged guacamole and hummus, packaged breads and flavored cereals. For the study, researchers identified 72,083 people from the UK Biobank, a large database containing the health information of half a million people living in the United Kingdom. Participants were age 55 and older and did not have dementia at the start of the study. They were followed for an average of 10 years. By the end of the study, 518 people were diagnosed with dementia. Researchers determined how much ultra-processed food people ate by calculating the grams per day and comparing it to the grams per day of other foods to create a percentage of their daily diet. They then divided participants into four equal groups from lowest percentage consumption of ultra-processed foods to highest. After adjusting for age, gender, family history of dementia and heart disease and other factors that could affect risk of dementia, researchers found that for every 10% increase in daily intake of ultra-processed foods, people had a 25% higher risk of dementia. Researchers also used study data to estimate what would happen if a person substituted 10% of ultra-processed foods with unprocessed or minimally processed foods, like fresh fruit, vegetables, legumes, milk and meat. They found that such a substitution was associated with a 19% lower risk of dementia. “Our results also show increasing unprocessed or minimally processed foods by only 50 grams a day, which is equivalent to half an apple, a serving of corn, or a bowl of bran cereal, and simultaneously decreasing ultra-processed foods by 50 grams a day, equivalent to a chocolate bar or a serving of fish sticks, is associated with 3% decreased risk of dementia,” said Li. “It's encouraging to know that small and manageable changes in diet may make a difference in a person's risk of dementia.”

Nutmeg's hidden power: Helping the liver  Nan-Jing University (China), May 9, 2022 Smelling nutmeg evokes images of fall, pumpkin pie and hot apple cider. But the spice has been used for years in traditional Chinese medicine to treat gastrointestinal illnesses. Now one group reports in ACS' Journal of Proteome Research that they have figured out how nutmeg helps other organs, specifically the liver. Nutmeg is the seed of the Myristica fragrans tree, which is commonly found in Indonesia, and has been used to treat asthma, rheumatic pain, toothaches and infections. In the laboratory, researchers have shown that nutmeg can fight hyperlipidaemia, hyperglycemia, heart tissue damage and hepatotoxicity.  The researchers used a mouse animal model of liver toxicity to test the mechanism behind nutmeg's protective effects. Metabolomics analyses showed that nutmeg likely protected against liver damage by restoring the mice to more healthy levels of various lipids and acylcarnitines. In addition, the team found that a specific compound in nutmeg, myrislignan, had a strong protective effect against liver damage. Research shows numerous health benefits of Modified Citrus Pectin Miami Childrens Hospital and Dharma Biomedical, April 29, 2022 New research published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine shows Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) packs a powerful immune punch. The study uses human blood samples to demonstrate the ability of a specific form of Modified Citrus Pectin to very significantly induce and enhance the benefits of T-cytotoxic cells and human Natural Killer (NK) cells. The NK-cell's cancer killing activity was demonstrated in live leukemia cancer cells, uncovering yet another mechanism of MCP's powerful anti-cancer actions.  Immune researchers said: “The Modified Citrus Pectin we researched has potential for altering the course of certain viral diseases such as the common cold or other upper respiratory tract viral infections based on the mechanisms of action that were observed in this study. We also found that MCP significantly outperformed other known immune enhancing agents such as medicinal mushrooms.”  Specifically, this study highlights MCP's ability to selectively increase cytotoxic immune activity against cancer and infections.  B complex may protect against diabetic kidney disease Ain Shams University (Egypt), May 3, 2022 New findings show a protective effect for B vitamin supplementation on the kidney function of children with type 1 diabetes.  These findings suggest vitamin B supplementation, in addition to traditional angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor therapy may be a simple, safe and cost-effective strategy for early protection of kidney function, which may improve the long-term quality of life for type-1 diabetes patients.” In the current study, 80 type 1 diabetics between the ages of 12 and 18 years with early signs of diabetic kidney disease and deficient levels of vitamin B12 were given vitamin B complex supplements or no treatment for 12 weeks. At the study's conclusion, children who received B complex exhibited improvement in blood markers of glucose regulation and kidney function. “After 12 weeks of vitamin B complex supplementation in children and adolescents with diabetic kidney disease, we detected lower levels of markers that indicate poor kidney function, suggesting that it had a protective effect and could slow progression of the disease,” Dr Elbarbary reported.  Zinc is cancer's worst enemy: This mineral is key to preventing cancer, scientists conclude University of Texas Arlington, May 12, 2022 Consuming zinc might be something that you only think about when cold season approaches given its stellar performance in keeping the common cold at bay, but its value extends far beyond preventing this relatively innocuous problem to something far more serious: fighting cancer. Researchers from the University of Texas at Arlington have discovered the important role zinc can play in preventing cancer, especially the esophageal variety. Although past studies had indicated zinc had a protective effect on the esophagus when it comes to cancer, it wasn't clear why. They found that zinc has the incredibly useful ability to selectively stop the growth of cancerous cells while leaving normal esophageal epithelial cells intact. The researchers say their finding could help improve treatment for esophageal cancer and even provide some insight into how it might be prevented. Pan pointed out that many cancer patients have a zinc deficiency. Dad's involvement with baby early on associated with boost in mental development Imperial College London, King's College London and Oxford University, May 9, 2022 Fathers who interact more with their children in their first few months of life could have a positive impact on their baby's cognitive development.In a study, published in the Infant Mental Health Journal, researchers from Imperial College London, King's College London and Oxford University looked at how fathers interacted with their babies at three months of age and measured the infants' cognitive development more than a year later.They found that babies whose fathers were more engaged and active when playing with them in their initial months performed better in cognitive tests at two years of age. Even as early as three months, these father-child interactions can positively predict cognitive development almost two years later, so there's something probably quite meaningful for later development, and that really hasn't been shown much before.”What's more, the positive link between involved dads and higher infant MDI scores were seen equally whether the child was a boy or a girl, countering the idea that play time with dad is more important for boys than girls, at an early age. Depression linked to memory problems and brain aging University of Miami School of Medicine, May 9, 2022Depression in older adults may be linked to memory problems, according to a study published in the online issue of Neurology. The study also showed that older people with greater symptoms of depression may have structural differences in the brain compared to people without symptoms.The study involved 1,111 people who were all stroke-free with an average age of 71. The majority were Caribbean Hispanic. At the beginning of the study, all had brain scans, a psychological exam and assessments for memory and thinking skills. Their memory and thinking skills were tested again an average of five years later. Researchers found after adjusting for age, race, anti-depressive medications, and other variables, greater symptoms of depression were linked to worse episodic memory. Scores on tests were lower by 0.21 of a standard deviation compared to those without greater symptoms of depression. Episodic memory is a person's ability to remember specific experiences and events.Researchers also found those with greater symptoms of depression had differences in the brain including smaller brain volume as well as a 55 percent greater chance of small vascular lesions in the brain.

Professor Dr. Frederick V. Engram Jr. talks about how he uses critical race theory to help make sense of the African American experience with racism within both the higher education and criminal justice systems. Dr. Frederick serves in the role of Assistant Professor of Instruction at the University of Texas-Arlington with a joint appointment in the Center for African American Studies (CAAS) and the Department of Criminology/Criminal Justice. He also holds an affiliate faculty role in the College of Education within the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies. In his written scholarship he chooses to focus on and make sense of how African Americans experience racism in both the systems of higher education as well as criminal justice. He is rooted in disrupting how oppressive systems steal our voices, rename our experiences, and prohibit us from telling our own stories. As a public scholar, Frederick uses his voice to provide context to what liberation looks like and what is required of us. His public work has been published in media outlets such as Blavity, Diverse Issues in Higher Education, and Forbes. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/koolkard/support

So much to this man and all he has accomplished for others and the University of Texas- Arlington. This episode will give you an inside look at the "Selfless" Doug Garner and his legacy to date at and through UTA! Doug and I talked family, basketball, Tokyo 2020, his impact on the growth of the Junior and  Women's Divisions, Veterans,  the international sports community he helped built and so much more.  Thank you, DG! Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thewheelprint)

In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Darlene to discuss themes bigger than basketball. She's a Paralympic Gold Medalist going for another Gold in Tokyo later this summer, but Darlene's real "wheel print" is beyond her Medals. She's a distinguished Professor at the University of Texas-Arlington, where she teaches Disability Rights and Inclusion to college students. She is an activist, an outspoken advocate for people with disabilities, NWBA Board Member, and a trailblazer for women in sports. Darlene was the recipient of the ESPNW Everyday Heroes Award in 2017. She was recently named Athlete Rep to USOPC (the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee)  for wheelchair basketball.  She is also the founder of the first and only women's only wheelchair basketball summer camp to help train the next generation of powerful women. Get your notepad and pen ready for this episode because Dr. Darlene is going to share her wisdom, intelligence, and maturity with us.
