Terre Satterfield Explores Queasy Questions, the Quest for Environmental Justice, and the Narrative Imperative in Ecosystems Services ResearchQueasy questions shake us. It's that nervous strangeness of surveying the very limits of what we know. For Dr. Terre Satterfield, anthropologist and environmental social scientist, that queasiness has fueled a career bridging critical and constructive perspectives. In this conversation with UBC colleagues and co-hosts Kai Chan (professor and Canada Research Chair) and David R. Boyd (professor and legal expert on human rights and the environment), Terre unpacks ecological justice, cultural ecosystem services, and the value of stories in reshaping how we see culture, land, and justice itself.Across decades of research, mentorship, and collaboration (especially with Indigenous communities), she has shown that respect is non-negotiable, that stories are truths, and that futures worth striving for are co-produced. The trio reflects on the responsibilities of scholars and the power of empathy in navigating transformative change. The result is a deeply human conversation on how to listen, learn, and lead one another toward more just and livable futures.*Terre gratefully acknowledges the work of Nicole Kaechele, Ph.D. Candidate at IRES, for their collaborative work on compensation. Nicole's research centers the revitalization of Indigenous legal processes and the negotiation of compensation agreements for historical losses (read more here).Keep up with Terre: UBC ProfileLinkedInEpisode Transcript, with Annotations

While fulfilling mandates for governments and non-profits alike, he has also published several influential books, partnered with Indigenous and youth activists, and advocated tirelessly for the human right to a healthy environment.Breaking bread with fellow hosts and UBC colleagues Kai Chan (professor and Canada Research Chair) and Clare Price (graduate student in soundscapes and urban transformation), David reminds us there is always an impetus to stand up for what's right for nature—and for us.

Ingrid Waldron's Road to Racial and Environmental Justice Through Community, Law, and Collective ActionGrowing up in Montreal, young Ingrid Waldron never imagined drafting what would become this country's first environmental justice legislation. Bill C-226 acknowledged the historical roots and lived realities of environmental racism. Deeply committed to health equity, Ingrid's research led to her 2018 book and the award-winning documentary There's Something in the Water. Both stressed the need for everybody to have a voice in environmental decision-making, especially when the places we call home can make us sick.Speaking with co-hosts Kai Chan (professor and Canada Research Chair at UBC) and Nancy Kang (professor and Canada Research Chair at the University of Manitoba), Ingrid describes her ongoing drive to challenge interlocking systems of oppression. She highlights the inspiration provided on her career path by various resistance communities, especially activist women.

This lively conversation, accented by personal stories from his West Coast Indigenous heritage, tackles the fine balance between rights, laws, and responsibilities when undertaking ethical stewardship of traditional lands and waters everywhere.By viewing all inhabitants of present-day Canada as treaty people, Eli highlights the eternal invitation within “Hishuk-ish Tsa-wak,” or the Nuu-chah-nulth phrase describing the oneness of all living and non-living things.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps and Major League Soccer chat and interviews. It was a heartbreaking weekend for the Whitecaps, who battled valiantly for 80 minutes down a man at home to Dallas but couldn't find the point they needed to finish top of the MLS Western Conference. Great defending, a lack of finishing, and some questionable refereeing saw the 'Caps fall to second in the standings, setting up a more difficult playoff path ahead, ironically kicking off against that same Dallas side. We delve into all of that and a lot more, plus ponder what Whitecaps might be in the running for the end of year MLS awards. We also bring you a media roundtable with Whitecaps GM and Sporting Director Axel Schuster. A new stadium, ownership, Thomas Müller's future, Axel's future, end of year roster decisions, player pathways, the FIFA takeover of BC Place, and the club's relationship with the Canadian Premier League are all covered in the 46 minute discussion. Our feature interview this week is with a new Whitecaps signing that arrived with an injury but is ready to go for the playoffs, Belgian defender Joedrick Pupe. We chat with Joedrick about coming to Vancouver and MLS, his footballing journey, playing style, and more, plus as a co-owner of a coffee shop, we find out if he fancies a chocolate digestive. We also chat with rising Whitecaps homegrown Rayan Elloumi about his time away with Tunisia's U23 side, his experiences in the country, and is the door still open for playing for Canada. Music-wise, Kneecap continue their residency as our Album of the Month, we've Britpop songs from Longpigs and Heavy Stereo, and MC Devil feature in Wavelength with a song about the Belgian national team.

Rebuilding Health From the Ground Up: Movement, Mindset, and Clear Language with Daniel Tausan

On Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Daniel Tausan (founder, Timeline Sciences; stem-cell biology, UBC; former Canadian National Water Polo athlete) to challenge quick-fix health culture. Daniel explains why rebuilding health starts at the foundation—habits, movement, and precise language—rather than supplements or shortcuts. We get into interpreting bloodwork for everyday people vs. trained bodies, how to train for longevity (not just performance), and why pain is a signal to engage with—not numb. If you want a direct, science-grounded path to durable health, this conversation delivers practical clarity you can use today.   About the guest  : Daniel Tausan is the founder of Timeline Sciences. With a background in stem cell biology and predictive health analytics, and experience as an athlete and coach, he helps people align actions with biology to build resilient, long-term health.   Key takeaways: Health rebuilds from fundamentals: daily choices that align biology, mindset, and context—not surface fixes. Early asthma, allergies, and gut issues pushed Daniel to study regeneration and physiology through practice, not theory alone. Modern exposure and information overload make clarity essential; use science to navigate, not to chase trends. Pain is data. Don't rush to numb it; investigate and act so it can guide repair. Movement is the “human tax.” Train for a lower resting heart rate, better lung capacity, and elastic neuromuscular patterning for quality longevity. Read labs in context: civilian, health-challenged, or trained/resilient bodies live in different physiological ranges. You don't need an athlete's mindset to be healthy. Favor honest feedback, sustainability, and enjoyment to prevent injury and promote adherence. Precise language shapes mindset and outcomes. Define what you mean by “science,” “spirituality,” and “health” to choose better actions. Genes are rarely destiny for most people; many outcomes are modifiable through behavior and environment. Think in multi-year arcs. Periodize effort, keep it fun, and get social or coaching support when motivation dips.   How to connect with the guest   Website: https://timelinesciences.com   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PM - Send me a message on PodMatch DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik   Disclaimer   This video is for educational and informational purposes only.
