In today's episode, Rick and Sam are joined by Dr. Christopher Mayne, Associate Professor of Biology and the Pre-Health Advising Coordinator at Viterbo University, to discuss the COVID-19 vaccine and the Common Good. The conversation starts with the basics: how vaccines work and how they benefit individuals and communities. The discussion broadens to examine vaccine ethics in the global context, in the push to get more Americans vaccinated, and finally, in the debate between public health concerns and private health information. Dr. Mayne closes the conversation by sharing his thoughts on how to communicate better with people who are still hesitant to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Dr. Christopher Mayne is an Associate Professor of Biology and the Pre-Health Advising Coordinator at Viterbo University. Dr. Mayne's expertise focuses on immunology, and his research centers on the regulation of immune responses, and how abnormalities in immune regulation can lead to autoimmune diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, and lupus. He is the author of numerous articles on immunology, and has spoken on issues relating to the ethics of vaccines and related matters. Dr. Mayne has degrees in biology and chemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville; a graduate degree in genetics from the University of Wisconsin; and a postdoctoral fellowship in immunology from the Medical College of Wisconsin. Sam Scinta is President and Founder of IM Education, a non-profit, and Lecturer in Political Science at University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and Viterbo University. Rick Kyte is Endowed Professor and Director of the DB Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leadership at Viterbo University.

February 25, 2019 - We welcome a familiar face back into the passenger seat of our time machine. It's Tom Clavin, who we last chatted with about the book, Valley Forge, he co-authored with Bob Drury. Tom returns solo with the definitive true story of James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok. A soldier in the Civil War, spy for the Union, scout, lawman, gunfighter, gambler, showman, actor, and romantic, he crossed paths with General Custer, befriended the boy who grew up into Buffalo Bill Cody, and locked horns with Calamity Jane -- which may surprise those who've grown up with Hollywood portrayals of the pair as lovers. Wild Bill's life story is also peppered with Ben Thompson, Kit Carson, and a slew of too-slow gamblers and gunmen looking to beat the fastest gun in the West and steal the title themselves. We can enjoy all these stories in Wild Bill: The True Story of the American Frontier's First Gunfighter. Tom Clavin is the author or coauthor of sixteen books, including the #1 best-seller Dodge City: Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and the Wickedest Town in the American West.
