Civil Eats reporter and former host of the Farm Report, Lisa Held, was at the conference and can give listeners an informed recap of this long overdue conference. From root causes of hunger, to expanding the role of government in nutrition science, and much more, this conference was based on 5 Pillars of action proposed by the Biden Administration. Learning what those goals are and the proposals to achieve them can help us all understand why America lags in public health, and inform who we vote for in the future.

Paid sick leave is a benefit many of us take as a given, but almost one-quarter of workers in the United States don't get any paid sick leave at all.

That puts the employee in a very difficult position - reluctant to not go to work even when sick because they can't afford to lose their wages. Other high-income countries mandate sick leave and in 2012 Connecticut became the first state to adopt a sick leave mandate.

Fifteen other states and the District of Columbia have followed suit.

It might not be surprising to learn that paid sick leave mandates reduce the likelihood of people going to work when they're sick. But do these mandates affect the use of emergency room?

Yanlei Ma from the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute joins A Health Podyssey to discusses the relationship between state paid sick leave mandates and emergency department use.

Ma and coauthors published a paper in the August 2022 edition of Health Affairs examining the effect of state-level mandatory sick leave policies on emergency department visits. Listen to learn about the relationship they found.

How are farmers doing financially in the wake of the trade wars and historically low crop prices.  The ERS, or Economic Research Service agency within the USDA, (yes that agency, now located in Kansas City) keeps tabs on those numbers and what they mean to the agricultural community.

Today we talk with Bryce Oates of the Daily Yonder. If you have been paying attention, there has been a fair amount of new about the proposed relocation of the ERS and NIFA, two agencies within the USDA that deal with farming and grants. Moving the agencies from their DC locations keeps them away from legislators who need their information. More alarming still is a new rule that the ERA cannot publish reports without being given an ok by USDA head, and will carry a caveat that says they are not official!

Filler words are a natural part of everyday conversations, and in fact, if they aren’t there, you’ll actually sound strange (or even fake) to the audience, so you don’t want to eliminate the filler words altogether. However, that doesn’t mean they have to be a major part of your speeches and presentations either. Overuse of the filler words has the potential to detract from your message, so as you become more and more comfortable speaking in front of a group, it might be a good idea to fine-tune your message by reducing these distractions. The best speakers in the world have trained themselves, over time, to minimize their use of filler words. (Notice that I said minimize, not eliminate.) Excessive use frustrates the audience and makes the speaker less credible. With a bit of practice, though, you can minimize filler words as well.

Relying largely on satellite data, the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) programme will provide accurate and timely data to better manage the environment, understand and mitigate the effects of climate change and ensure civil security. ESA is responsible for the Space Component of GMES. It will provide continuous, accurate satellite data from Earth observation satellites, like Envisat and ERS. As part of the GMES programme, ESA is also developing, building and launching a new series of Earth monitoring satellites called Sentinels. The Sentinels are five families of satellites that will monitor the land, oceans, ice and atmosphere for markers of environmental change. Data from the Sentinel satellites as well as other ESA and non-ESA missions contributing to GMES will be combined with measurements taken on Earth. As changes in parameters such as air quality and ocean height are recorded over time, legislation can be put in place to tackle issues such as flooding, deforestation and drought.
