The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

Bami Farinre returns to the podcast for an in depth discussion of her new book The Mentor's Journey - From Learning to Leading. The book has been a long time coming, inspired by the Bami's early career experiences in STEM as a biomedical scientist and the need for mentorship. She guest grew up in a community where mentorship was intrinsic and not formally defined, with a strong emphasis on education and support from the community. Bami believes mentorship is crucial for developing future leaders and emphasizes the importance of passing on knowledge. The book is part instructional and part autobiographical, using personal experiences to make it relatable. Emotional Intelligence is essential for managing expectations and emotions in mentorship relationships, fostering trust and open dialogue. Allyship is advocating for inclusion and standing in solidarity with someone, while sponsorship involves actively using influence to create opportunities for someone else. Mentors gain fresh perspectives, sharpen leadership skills, and experience fulfillment from their mentees' successes. Reverse Mentorship: Younger mentees can teach mentors about new technologies and perspectives, enriching the mentor's experience. Bami emphasized the importance of passing on knowledge and creating a legacy through mentorship.

Anna Dhody is back for Part 2 of our conversation. What we discuss in Part 2: How the pandemic prompted the Mutter Museum to increase its online presence, leading to a virtual tour that garnered over a million views. A significant event during this time was the donation of a human heart from a living donor, Rob, who wanted to contribute to the museum after receiving a heart transplant. Anna filmed an unboxing video of the heart, which unexpectedly went viral, attracting a wide audience and generating interest in the museum. The success of the heart unboxing led to a series of educational videos about the preservation and display of biological specimens. Anna's videos fostered a community where viewers shared personal stories and experiences related to medical conditions, leading to increased awareness and support. After leaving the museum, Anna founded the Dhody Research Institute to continue her work in science communication and education. The institute aims to increase accessibility to medical and scientific information and inspire young people to explore STEM careers. Anna is developing new video series, including "What's That For?" which invites viewers to guess the purpose of medical objects and learn their stories. The Dhody Research Institute is running a fundraising campaign to support the production of more educational content. Anna emphasized the importance of educating young people to become informed citizens and critical thinkers in today's world.

Episode 194: Anna Dhody Part 1 - Bones, Museums, And Seizing Opportunities 43:08

πριν 11 weeks43:08

43:08

My guest today is Forensic Anthropologist Anna Dhody. What we talk about with Anna in part 1: Anna initially studied archaeology, influenced by visits to the Penn Museum in Philadelphia as a child. She developed a passion for archaeology at a young age, around 9 or 10 years old. Chose Boston University for its separate archaeology department, which offered more opportunities than those combined with anthropology departments. After attending an excavation in Belize during her sophomore year, she became interested in biological anthropology, focusing on human bones and their stories. She realized the competitive nature of academia and planned to pursue a master's in forensic science instead of a PhD. Anna wrote a thesis manual titled "The Underground Crime Scene" for law enforcement on how to excavate buried crime scenes, which gained unexpected international circulation. Applied for jobs after graduation and was scouted by the CIA but ultimately accepted a position at Harvard's Peabody Museum due to the need for osteologists for a NAGPRA project. Worked at the Peabody Museum for four years, taking advantage of free classes and gaining valuable experience. Became involved with a United Nations project in Peru to train local medical personnel in forensic anthropology, which turned into a significant teaching role. Returned from Peru and took a temporary position at the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia. What was initially meant to last five months ended up lasting nearly 20 years. Anna’s career path was shaped by a combination of luck and the challenges faced in the museum world, emphasizing the importance of seizing opportunities.

Dr Denise Gemmellaro is a forensic entomologist, and my guest today. We discuss how she initially pursued medical school but found it was not for her. She found forensic entomology to be a complete and engaging field that allowed her to work on real cases and teach. Dr. Gemmellaro emphasized the importance of students realizing they can change their career path and explore different avenues. Forensic entomology involves the study of insects and arthropods in medico-legal investigations, providing valuable information on the circumstances of death and post-mortem events. In entomotoxicology, substances found in maggots can indicate what was present in the body prior to death, aiding in toxicology analysis. Dr. Gemmellaro has conducted training for law enforcement in forensic entomology, emphasizing the importance of proper evidence collection and handling. She has also been involved in international projects in Africa and Central America to introduce forensic science and inspire local professionals in the field. Dr. Gemmellaro encourages those interested in forensic entomology to explore entomology programs and resources, as well as consider related fields like law enforcement or lab technician roles.

Today Dr Ritcha Saxena returns to the podcast. She integrated virtual teaching methods into her educational approach, including online lectures, Zoom discussions, and virtual microscopy. Dr. Saxena was involved in a study analyzing pathology education in medical schools in the U.S. and other countries, focusing on curriculum content, teaching methods, and instructional time allocation. The study showed differences in pathology education between the U.S. and other countries, with more lecture hours and active learning strategies outside the U.S. We discuss the 2010 Carnegie Foundation report on medical education reform, emphasizing integration of basic sciences with clinical training and active learning strategies. She is currently working on integrating pathology into interprofessional education and writing a manual on AI's impact on medical education. Dr. Saxena is dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in healthcare education and has received recognition for her contributions in this area.
