  3. Public Health Explained - How AI Affects Learning

    Show notes

    The effects of injecting AI in learning environments like K-12 or training for healthcare professionals is concerning to say the least. Deskilling and never-skilling is a danger that is not knocking on our doors, it's already inside.

  6. Public Health Explained - Ultra Processed Food

    Show notes

    What is ultra processed food? Is it good or bad for us? Turns out, that's the wrong question to ask. Also, the "eat real food" crowd are doing us no good.

    Conservative parenting doctrine part 2. How the deeply rooted and problematic gender norms of women needed to stay at home is making life miserable for all of us. Why can't we have a working childcare policy in the United States?

    EDIT: The Biden Administration clarified on 2021-06-04 that the administration aimed to end pandemic relief and protection as soon as possible, that these programs were always meant to be temporary.

    Conservative parenting doctrine part 1. Some parents see children's right to privacy as a threat to them, somehow. They see children as property, not people.

  10. Standards - Screwworm Prevention

    Show notes

    Guess which completely preventable thing is back? New World Screwworms! Prevention was working as intended, then the DOGE cuts happened, and now the Republicans are using funds for food banks to fix a problem that they created. This administration said "tear down all the Chesterton's fences".

  13. Public Health Explained - Do we have a literacy crisis or not?

    Show notes

    Have you come across any video title, headlines that said something to the effect of "Americans can't read" or "kids can't read" or "America's literacy crisis?" Yeah, me too. It's a moral panic disguised as a genuine concern.

    To be clear, United States certainly has issues with reading comprehension, but calling this a literacy crisis is inaccurate. To solve a problem, we have to accurate describe it first.

  16. Death by Doctrine - "We're bringing back coal"

    Show notes

    From the Death by Doctrine podcast, more episodes here.

    After doing an episode on coal in our Standards series, we must answer the question: Why do coal miners support conservative politics despite how harmful it is for them?

    "We're bringing back an industry that was abandoned. With us today are some of the amazing workers who will benefit from these policies." Trump, a liar.

    "For too long, coal has been a dirty word that most are afraid to speak about, but we are still strong. We are still here. And we're still needed in order to make America great again. " Jeff Crowe, a coal mine manager from West Virginia, definitely not wrong about this. /s

  18. Standards - English as a Second Language (ESL) programs

    Show notes

    Equity, not just equality. It is not enough to simply have availability, there needs to also be access. Learn about the laws and supreme court case that gave us ESL programs.

    This administration's bigoted and xenophobic attack on this country extends to the department of education, which they are actively attempting to dismantle.

    Black lung disease and silicosis making a completely unnecessary return. Miners protection, early screening, and compensation being repealed. This administration is seemingly doing everything they can to kill miners.
