In this podcast, I talk with Dr Donna Duffy about the issue of head injuries being unreported in women’s sport, her work as part of the Female BRAIN Project, and future research needs in the area of concussion among female athletes. Dr Donna Duffy is an Associate Professor in the Department of Kinesiology and the Director of the Program for the Advancement of Girls and Women in Sport and Physical Activity at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG). Dr Duffy completed her PhD at UNCG in 2007 and completed her MEd (1999) and her BSc (1996) at Boston University in Boston, MA.

Dr Duffy is the Co-Director of the Female BRAIN Project at UNCG, where she leads an active research team of research collaborators from Boston University’s School of Medicine and the Female Athlete Clinic at Boston Children’s Hospital, all focused on the neurological and physiological implications of head injuries in different types of high contact and collision-based sports, including women’s tackle football, roller derby and rugby. Dr Duffy and her research team are focused on better understanding the role of sex hormones in moderating and mediating head injuries among female athletes in paediatric and post-collegiate female athlete populations. In addition to her position at UNCG, Dr Duffy served as a Visiting Research Scientist in the Department of Neurology at Boston University’s school of Medicine and as a Visiting Research Scientist in the Female Athlete Clinic at Boston Children’s Hospital.

More than half of the women who drop out of college say it's due to finances and sometimes it can be as little as the $50 they need to buy a stroller. The Women's Resource Center at the University of Utah is working to ensure both women and men are getting the support they need to finish their education. Let's Get Moving Host Maria Shilaos interviews Krista Parry, who sits on the community advisory committee for the center, about the important mission of this group.
On this episode, we talk with Sharon Barker, co-founder of Mabel Wadsworth Center and former director of the University of Maine's Women's Resource Center. Shortly after Sharon retired from the University of Maine, the Women's Resource Center abruptly closed. Due to committed student activists, the WRC has reopened without a director or a budget. Sharon explains what happened to the Women's Resource Center (WRC) and why it was so important. We also discuss the overall landscape of women in higher education. In our "ask Mabel" segment, Terry Marley-DeRosier explains the cause and remedies of dysmenorrhea (painful periods).
In Episode 20, we have a very important and emotional conversation with the creators of Break the Silence: Sexual Violence Awareness Art Exhibit - campaign coordinator Stephanie Santore and photographer Ashley Matthews of Simply Lush Portrait Boutique. Before and during the interview, we drink some crowlers provided by our sponsor, Beer Boys in Wilkes-Barre, of three varieties of Single Origin Coffee Brown Ales by Terrapin Beer Company in Athens, Georgia made with coffee from Ecuador, Indonesia, and Kenya. Everyone agrees that, whether you love coffee or just beer brewed with it, these are worth drinking. Then we talk about this powerful exhibit before it debuts at The Leonard Theater during First Friday Scranton on Aug. 4, what motivated them to start this project and how their respective professions helped in its creation, the difficulty in discussing the issues of sexual violence and domestic abuse, photographing the brave volunteers who have endured this trauma and shared their stories, how this project affected them, why Stephanie felt it was time to share her own personal story, empowering women through photography, what the Women's Resource Center does for local women and families, statistics from and raising money for the center, sexism and focusing on the issue at hand by not getting bogged down by “whataboutism” and other tactics, the healing process, the future of Break the Silence after Friday night and the possibility of future projects, and more.

Wenatchee developer Rory Turner is helping transform the Wenatchee Valley by transforming old historic buildings into creative redeveloped spaces that bring new businesses to the community. This work is bringing new vibrancy and a unique urban vibe to the valley. Turner and his wife Laurel, who runs the Women's Resource Center, are helping build a cultural of adaptive reuse of classic buildings. In this conversation, we discuss his philosophy of development, the opportunities in downtown Wenatchee and particularly how excited he is about the potential to redevelop the Chelan County PUD headquarters into a vibrant place for business and housing, if the utility chooses to build a new headquarters. He's won state awards for refurbishing buildings in Wenatchee and Ellensburg. The secret to his success is creating financially successful projects that create a more vibrant community. He describes his work as "adaptive reuse." The only downside to his work is that his projects always seem to involve buildings inhabited by "a lot of pigeons."

Pastor Brian reminds us that it is the Sanctity of Life Season for the evangelical world. Since legalized abortion in 1973, there have been 53 million abortions in the United States. There is a fine line between righteous indignation and fleshly indignation. If not handled in the right way, our anger/wrath can make it 1. an unforgivable sin (which it's not) and this can lead to unconsolable grief and 2. a disservice of not "winning the loss". We have to learn to think consequentially when making decisions. We also need to remember that there is nothing outside of God's control and He will allow things to get worse to bring us to Him. We need to show with style what God proposes to those involved with abortions. We need to help the cause of Christ without condemnation and hatred. These are not family values! We need to build a bridge of humanity between prolife and prochoice...just like God has done by sending His Son. One thing that will help us to fight for life without making a god of life, is prayer. It changes hearts. It is our most powerful weapon. That is what the Women's Resource Center is asking for this next year.
