Glenn McConell chats with Professor Jerry Dempsey from the University of Wisconsin Madison School of Medicine and Public Health on "Is the lung built for exercise". Jerry is a legend and the most recognizable name in the area, having examined the respiratory system and exercise for 60 years. He is 84 and although he says he retired at 82 he is still heavily involved. 0:00. Introduction 0:47. How respiratory system responds to acute exercise 4:25. Regulation of respiration 5:54. Lungs not limiting to exercise in most people. He outlined how in most people there is reserve in the respiratory system such that it is not limiting to VO2 max or endurance performance. 11.26. Lungs can limit exercise in very well trained. There can be substantial reductions in arterial oxygen levels during heavy exercise in some very well trained athletes indicating that the respiratory system can become the main limiting factor to VO2 max in these individuals. 18:51. Lung does not appear to adapt to exercise training. Lung does not appear to adapt to exercise training in young people but perhaps does in older individuals. However, more research is needed on this. 22:04. Lungs may be even more limiting in aging. Lungs lose elasticity with aging and may become even more limiting. 26:24. Lungs may adapt to exercise in older people. Some recent evidence of cross talk from muscles to the lungs with exercise. With removal of a portion of the lungs in humans, the remaining lung tissue can expand. 28:42. Chronic hypoxia causes adaptation, does exercise? In mice see increases in mitochondria of the lungs with exercise. Evidence of the benefits of exercise on the lungs of smokers. Exercising rodents while exposing them to cigarette smoke is beneficial on their lungs. 32:37. Exercise and asthma. Need better studies on exercise and asthma. 34:25. Lungs not built for chronic huge flow rates (asthma). In elite athletes chronic very high of ventilation in cold air can damage the airway. 36:40. Some “asthma” actually may be laryngeal dysfunction. Exercise-induced asthma in athletes: some it is actually laryngeal dysfunction, some asthma and some have both. So shortness of breath during exercise could be either asthma, laryngeal dysfunction or both. But still important to exercise. 43:49. Thoroughbred horses have respiratory problems. Thoroughbred horses have lungs that are really limiting, also nasal breathers which is not good for getting large volumes in and out. Unlike exercising humans, they might benefit wearing nasal strips!! 45:25. Need better studies on exercise and asthma. Not just looking at lung function. Looking at reactivity etc. 47:10. Extreme exercise can damage the lungs 49:29. But again exercise is good for you! 49:52. Respiratory muscles adapt to exercise training Respiratory muscles are trainable and fatigable. 58:42. Respiratory muscle training improves exercise in heart failure 59:10. Sex differences. There are sex differences such as women have smaller airways at a given lung volume and higher upper respiratory tract infections. 1:08:07. He's not really retired, just not getting paid!

This is the final podcast installment of our special series of conversations with teachers, organizers, scholars, and activists in Wisconsin that TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez, Cameron Granadino (TRNN), and Hannah Faris (In These Times) recorded in the summer of 2021 as part of a special collaboration between The Real News Network and In These Times magazine for “The Wisconsin Idea.” To round out the series, we drive straight into the heart of darkness with an in-depth discussion with veteran educators and organizers Frank Emspak and Adrienne Pagac about the passage of Act 10 in Wisconsin under Republican Governor Scott Walker, the statewide protests against it, and the devastation that it has left in Wisconsin for the past 11 years. Frank Emspak is Professor Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School for Workers and a labor activist based in Madison, Wisconsin. He is a regular contributor to WORT Labor Radio, Progressive Magazine, and a range of other media outlets. Adrienne Pagac is a scholar, organizer, and former co-president of the Teaching Assistants Association. The statewide protests against Act 10, known as the Wisconsin Uprising, comprised one of the largest sustained collective actions in the history of the United States, and anyone who was there in 2011 will attest to the collective spirit of resistance and solidarity that the uprising embodied, and the lasting impact it left on all who participated. But the protests were ultimately unsuccessful in beating back Act 10, and the short- and long-term effects of its passage have been a disaster for working people and organized labor. How did this coordinated assault on labor come to pass in Wisconsin? And what lessons can the rest of us around the country learn from the 50-year war on workers that has changed the state of Wisconsin for generations?Pre-Production: Maximillian Alvarez, Hannah Faris, Alice Herman, Cameron Granadino, Eleni Schirmer (research consultant), John Fleissner (research consultant), John Yaggi (research consultant), Harvey J.

In Edible-Alpha® podcast #107, Brad sits down with Kwadwo Owusu-Ofori, founder and CEO of Twi Pods, maker of single-serve hot cocoa and mocha latte enriched with mental wellness–supporting nutrients. The duo delves into the arc of entrepreneurship in today's world, how it has evolved, and the tools founders need now to grow a viable food business. First, Kwadwo shares his unconventional path to starting a food company. While working toward his Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Pharmacy, he realized he'd rather create products that could help people directly than focus on research. This was around the time The Lean Startup was published, Shark Tank was becoming a hit, and there was big buzz around entrepreneurship. Kwadwo wondered if lean startup principles could be used to streamline drug development and health care access. He landed a spot in the Kauffman Foundation Global Scholar Program, which teaches academics business skills to focus their research on entrepreneurship. But rather than start a drug company as he'd planned, Kwadwo pivoted to food. Wanting to help the millions of people who grapple with anxiety, he designed a convenient way to deliver daily magnesium and other stress-busting nutrients: through canned coffee creamers. Kwadwo launched Satori Food Project on Etsy while also working full-time. After so-so success, he quit his job and went all in. Sales increased, but profits did not, and production got harder. With his Kauffman training, plus tools he'd picked up from FaB Wisconsin (where he met Brad) and various accelerators, Kwadwo knew to step back, do a postmortem, and re-strategize. He realized something huge that changed his whole attitude toward production and funding: Instead of deciding what he could achieve based on the resources he had, he should be asking, “what does this look like, finished and polished, and what resources do I need to create that?” With this “prime organization” approach, he knew he must sell on a bigger platform like Amazon, find a surefire way to keep up with production and raise enough money to get there. Kwadwo also realized that his product was odd and messaging too scientific. So he ditched the creamers, launched hot cocoa and mocha pods for Keurig machines, simplified the messaging, and changed the brand name to Twi Pods. These moves proved successful, and the company has now transitioned from startup to small business. From there, Brad brings in the three-year go-to-market arc he emphasizes in the Food Finance Institute Fellows Program, in which he helps founders map out their growth plans. Kwadwo mentions four key stages: sell a product, sell it reliably, sell it at scale, then sell it at profit. They discuss how entrepreneurs in their 30s and 40s tend to excel, thanks to more industry experience and patience. Next, they discuss how cost-cutting, right-sizing, and outsourcing in corporate America have destroyed worker loyalty and created a lane for entrepreneurship. But without the skills development and network building that corporations used to provide, entrepreneurs must navigate their own path. This is where FFI, FaB Wisconsin, university programs, and economic development organizations can be a huge help.

Kathleen Culver is the James E. Burgess Chair in Journalism Ethics, an associate professor in the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Journalism & Mass Communication and director of the Center for Journalism Ethics. Long interested in the implications of digital media on journalism and public communication, Culver focuses on the ethical dimensions of social tools, technological advances and networked information. She also serves as visiting faculty for the Poynter Institute for Media Studies and was the founding editor of PBS MediaShift's education section. The Center for Journalism Ethics has been an important vehicle for her work, engaging hundreds of people through annual conferences, public panels, training sessions and other appearances, and has recently focused on topics including ethics and immigration reporting, the impact of #MeToo on media, and how journalism can address partisanship and other social divisions. Culver is widely recognized for her curricular innovations, including the School of Journalism and Mass Communication's gateway course, Mass Media Practices. This bootcamp course trains over 100 students each semester in the concepts and skills necessary to approach disrupted media industries with adaptability, critical thinking and integrity. She regularly trains other communications educators through her work with Poynter and the Center for Journalism Ethics. 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. Music compliments of Bobby Bridger- “Rendezvous” from "A Ballad of the West"

The opportunity to be a law dean is so special right now. All of society's challenges and opportunities require legal intervention and legal reform, so it's a great time to be at a great law school. I was also excited to have an opportunity to do this at what I'm calling my sister institution in the Big Ten. This was a really great fit for me. My University of Wisconsin Law School experience has really prepared me to work with my colleagues to carve out a really important role for the College of Law at MSU.“Our societal challenges require multidisciplinary approaches, and this is a new phase of growth for both the College of Law and Michigan State. I always say that the best law schools are embedded in great universities. And conversely, a university will not be truly great without an intellectually preeminent law school. I'm really excited to lead the College of Law, but I'm also excited to expand our work with other colleges at Michigan State University for our mutual benefit.”Dean Greene describes some of the research and curricular strengths of the college.She talks about work in innovation and entrepreneurship and the Center for Law, Technology and Innovation. Intellectual property and copyright law are also strong. And there's the Indigenous Law and Policy Center. Greene also talks about the Immigration, Housing, and Civil Rights Law Clinics and the Geoffrey Fieger Trial Practice Institute. Greene is a leading scholar in sports law and has done work specifically on Olympic governance. She predicts what controversies she thinks we'll be hearing about this year.“There will be a few. There always are. One controversy is whether the Olympics will take place at all. Given the current COVID surge in Japan, my understanding is that the many thousands of workers who will be working at the Olympics will not be vaccinated. There are so many unanswered questions about whether the Olympics will take place. There have been sports competitions taking place around the world, but not on the scale of the Olympics.“Another is whether the ban against illegal substances will be effectively enforced. That has been a serious problem during prior international competitions, especially at Sochi. Will women be barred from competition because their hormonal levels vary from what is typical in women? This involves the question whether people are allowed to choose their gender identity or whether we will approve a biological definition of womanhood for purposes of competition. This has been an ongoing issue over 10 years.”Greene also writes and speaks on intercollegiate athletics. “There are two big issues right now. One I think people can really understand is whether collegiate athletes will have an opportunity to share in the wealth they produce and whether they will be able to use their images and likenesses for financial gain. There's legislation in many states around the country that will permit athletes to profit from their images and likenesses. That means that if you are a popular athlete, you might be able to get a shoe deal where in exchange for an amount of money, you allow your name to be associated with an athletic shoe. That would be an example. Or you might be able to have branded apparel and then obtain profit from the sales of that apparel.”Greene has been the chief diversity officer at two institutions - the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of California-San Diego - and is a noteworthy scholar and commentator in this area. Diversity, equity, and inclusion will shape her vision as dean of MSU Law.“In a nation that is becoming ever more diverse, our future competitiveness and excellence as a nation, as a state, and as a university, depends upon our capacity to educate a diverse population of students. That is the only way that we are going to be able to draw on all of our talent for our creative scientific and social science advancements. I see our diversity as our future excellence, and I plan to collaborate with my colleagues at the College of Law and at MSU on a vision of excellence through diversity.”Greene shares her short- and long-term goals for the college. She'll work on the colleges' accreditations from the American Bar Association and the American Association of Law Schools.  “During the next academic year, we will complete a College of Law strategic plan. The ABA requires that we complete a strategic plan in conjunction with our self-study review. More importantly, the provost and I agreed that during my first year, we would conduct a strategic planning process so that we can identify our College of Law strategic priorities for the next 10 years. In that strategic planning process, we will be taking into account the strategic priorities of the university's strategic plan, which is close to completion. We'll also be establishing our own strategic priorities for the next decade.“It's really important that we recruit a more diverse cohort of students from every corner of the state, the country, and the world. This is going to be more important because the American Bar Association is considering a standard for accreditation that will focus on the diversity of the student body, staff, and faculty. Diversity is going to be not only important to our service to the state, but it's also going to be important to our success in our review process upcoming.“We want to be sure we're providing service to every corner of the state. Some of our clinics are engaged in that enterprise, but we need to do more. I talk about making sure that the College of Law is a significant presence in our historic home in Detroit. All the way up to the Upper Peninsula, we are Michigan's law school and we need to serve all of Michigan's people. I want to work closely with our alumni. They have so much to offer to our current students. And we also want to be sure that we understand their needs and that we are supporting their development throughout the arc of their legal careers. “Of course, a priority is to raise private money to support the College of Law. We have had some incredibly generous donors in the past. Now we need transformative financial support to retain and recruit faculty. We also need transformative scholarship support to maintain access and affordability to legal education.”What's the state of the legal profession your graduates are entering? How have legal education and the legal profession evolved over the years? What does the future look like?“Legal education is more important than ever. Every controversy and every challenge in which our society is embroiled has a legal dimension. From George Floyd to COVID 19 to the disputes over executive power, there are so many areas of society in which law plays an important role. This is probably one of the most important times for people to attend law school and to become lawyers. “What are some things that have changed? The legal profession and legal education have had a number of ups and downs. We had a diminishment of demand for legal education after the crash of 2008. And then what we're now seeing is a surge in interest in legal education. It's not just an interest in the legal education of the past, but a legal education that focuses on the most important issues in society. The challenges that we face in our communities, in our country, and around the world are significant, but those challenges are fueling a much greater interest in the study of law than ever before. And the challenge of a law school is to make sure that we prepare our students to address these evermore complex problems.“I look at legal education as the beginning of a long process in which our graduates will have to learn and re-learn and acquire new information in order to serve people effectively across a 50-year career. Many of them will practice law for 50 years or more. So how do we provide a legal education that provides a foundation not only in the areas that are currently important, but also the kind of foundation that will enable our graduates to be lifelong learners and leaders in the field of law? There's just more opportunity than ever. It's very exciting.“I would argue that at every stage of our country's development, law has always played an important role. It is the responsibility of the College of Law to provide the kind of legal education foundation that will not only prepare students to hit the ground running as lawyers today, but also to be leaders, policy makers, and servants throughout their careers. And those careers will extend 50 years and beyond. We've got to prepare them to serve society. And I'm so excited to have the opportunity to do that at MSU College of Law College.“The College of Law has a history of over a century of making enormous contributions to the state. This is a new phase of the College of Law's development, and we are very excited to play not only an important role in Michigan State University's activities, but to be an important player in every place in the state. In every place, every neighborhood, every community, we want Michigan State College of Law graduates to make a difference. That's our goal.”MSU Today airs Sunday mornings at 9:00 on 105.1 FM and AM 870 and streams at wkar.org. Find “MSU Today with Russ White” on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your shows.

What do students learn when they discuss controversial political issues? What are the benefits and limitations? How can teachers guide these discussions and maintain a positive classroom environment? In this episode, renowned social studies education scholar Diana Hess explores these questions, drawing on her two decades of research in classrooms. Hess is a professor and now dean at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Education and has written two award-winning books about how young people can learn about and productively discuss controversial political issues. In this episode, she describes her major research findings and what they mean for teachers, and she also considers how educators should help students understand some challenging current issues, such as claims of widespread voter fraud and Donald Trump's refusal to concede or facilitate a smooth presidential transition.Resources Related to this Episode:Article on Diana HessThe Political Classroom, by Diana Hess and Paula McAvoyVideos of Teaching Discussion Skills (by CERG)Structured Academic Controversy Discussion ModelBrett Levy's Article Featuring a Structured Academic ControversyBrett Levy's Other Open-Access Research ArticlesESD Episode on Teaching the Capitol RiotESD Episode on Teaching Elections & Political ToleranceSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/esdpodcast)

Today I had a wonderful time picking a fellow functional medicine pharmacist’s brain. I’m pleased to introduce to you Dr. Nicole Grams, PharmD, a Life Coach and Functional Medicine pharmacist - aka the “Offbeat Pharmacist.” I’m always surprised myself where the conversation goes on these podcast episodes, since I always lead with the same questions but get wildly different topics out of them! Dr. Nicole and I ended up talking mostly about environmentalism and what it means to have total health on a large scale. Dr. Grams uses her experience in health care combined with nutrition, self-awareness and empowerment to bridge the gap between standard medicine and optimal health and well-being.  A believer in the mind-body connection, she teaches clients how to tune in and listen to their body for clues - about their health, their needs and their desires, in order to break free from limits and live a deeply fulfilling life.  Dr. Grams graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Pharmacy and is currently pursuing her IFMCP certification through the Institute for Functional Medicine.

(1976) and Ph.D. (1978) degrees in continuing education in pharmacy from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In addition, he is licensed as a pharmacist in Wisconsin with experience as a pharmacy practitioner in both community and hospital settings, including a three-year tour of duty as a pharmacist in the U.S. Public Health Service. He joined the U.W.-Madison Pharmacy faculty in 1973 as an instructor in pharmaceutical dispensing and concurrently completed his graduate degrees. In 1979 he began work with Extension Services in Pharmacy at the U.W. School of Pharmacy. He has served as Chair of Extension Services in Pharmacy since 1996.  His current responsibilities include all phases associated with the planning, development, marketing, administration and evaluation of post-graduate continuing professional education/professional development programs at the state, national, and international level for pharmacists as well as personnel within the pharmaceutical industry. Dr. Hanson also has the distinction of serving as the Melvini H. Weinswig Distinguished Professor.Dr. Hanson is also involved in research as it relates to continuing education, lifelong learning and continuing professional development in pharmacy. His research focuses on methods by which providers of continuing education may better serve as "facilitators" of learning. A major component of this includes the exploration of means by which pharmacists' extent of participation in lifelong learning/continuing professional development may be predicted based on specific learning characteristics; armed with this information, the CE provider should be able to enhance the design of programs to better meet the needs of prospective learners. An additional research component related to the facilitation of lifelong learning focuses on the responsibility/role of schools of pharmacy to prepare pharmacy students to become lifelong learners and adopt the concepts of continuing professional development. The research efforts of Dr. Hanson (and his colleague Dr. De Muth) were recognized by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy which presented them with the Rufus Lyman Award for the best manuscript published in the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education during the 1992 calendar year. Dr. Hanson is active in numerous professional organizations in Wisconsin, the U.S., and internationally. He was a recipient in 1991 of the prestigious "Award of Merit" presented by the Section of Continuing Professional Education of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy.
