We scroll through tons of information everyday, but most of us do not always consciously go through them. But with the proliferation of digital media platforms, media literacy has grown in importance in the 21st century.  Just recently, a survey by global market research firm Milieu Insight found that almost four in five Singapore students aged below 18 believe that their schools should include media literacy classes in the curriculum, and are mixed on current efforts such as games.  On this episode of Morning Shot, Dr Carol Soon, Principal Research Fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies and Vice Chair of the Media Literacy Council shares her insights on how we can better discern the information we're seeing online, and what can be done to build an eye for fake news.

Today’s episode marks a very big mile stone on the Blunt Dissection pathway as we reach our two year and 24 episode-th birthday! (Apologies to the English language for that abuse). We needed a big episode and I am thrilled to say that my guest, Dr. Bree Montana, absolutely nailed it. Dr Montana, or Bree as I can now call her since we’re blunt dissection besties, gained her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Ohio State University. After graduation she worked in emergency hospitals before moving into general practice and eventually practice ownership where much of her real “learning” began. Safe to say the road was bumpy. Outside of her practice, Bree has served as a member of UC Davis’ College of Veterinary Medicine’s External Advisory and Admissions Boards, is a past Board member of the VIN Foundation. And, somehow, finds time to act as the Director of the VINFoundation’s Vets4Vets programs – a place where vets struggling with a range of physical, emotional and psychological problems receive much needed support. She is also in high demand as a speaker on the subject of caregiver compassion fatigue. Now, just before we jump into the episode, I just wanted to drop a quick word from today's show sponsor which is my brand new VetX:Leaders training group. If you are a manager or owner of a vet practice and people are your biggest problem then VetX:leaders is designed for you. As a member you will learn how to build a high performing team based on three vital areas. Recruitment of th right people, daily management of those people and leadership skills. This is a unique deep dive into the world of high performance and I will be your personal mentor throughout. There will be teaching, mentoring and access to all of the templates and frameworks I have used to run successful veterinary hospitals around the world over the past decade. So if that sort of training would improve your practice performance then go to vetxleaders.com to learn more. And if you use the promo code ‘podcast’, then you’ll get 10% off. Back to Dr Bree. Her’s is a story of work, struggle and ultimately, balance and joy. There is something here for anyone who ever dared to pull on a white coat and throw a stethoscope round their neck. And I hope for some of you, this episode is going to change everything – in a good way. So, without further preamble, I present to you, my interview with the amazing, Dr Bree Montana.

This is part of the UC Davis College of Engineering's Distinguished Lecture Series by Ares Rosakis, Theodore von Karman professor of aeronautics and professor of mechanical engineering; and chair, Division of Engineering and Applied Science at the California Institute of Technology. He says directly studying earthquakes presents a host of insurmountable difficulties, the least of which is our inability to trigger earthquakes of various magnitudes at will and the lack of means of scrutinizing the behavior at depth while the quake propagates. Ares' lab has developed techniques to produce miniature (or surrogate) laboratory earthquakes and follow their progress with high-speed imaging tools.
