Marisha Wojciechowska: Climate change preparation

By admin on November 1, 2024

Climate change preparation is happening in other countries. What can we learn from that? Marisha Wojciechowska is an international consultant, author, and mother of a true global citizen. She has traveled to over 30 countries, and has lived in Montreal, NY, Paris, Tokyo, and Bangkok. Her work in water policy for the United Nations and global experiences have inspired her 7 book series. Air France invited her in 2022 to create special editions with exclusive book signings at the airports in Paris.

In episode 509 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Marisha chose McGill University in Montreal, what it was like to work for the United Nations, why travel is so important for college students, what parents teach their children about manners in other countries, how countries like Japan and Singapore are preparing for climate change, how college students can build an International career, how other countries around the world ring in the holidays, and what our college students will learn by picking up Marisha’s Globetrotter Books. Enjoy!

Alan McGowan: Solving Science Denial

By admin on July 29, 2024

Solving science denial is a priority for you as well? Alan McGowan, selected as 2019’s Top Science and Technical Expert by the International Association of Top Professionals, also received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Marquis Who’s Who that same year. Now a Lecturer at The New School, he served first as chair of the Science, Technology, and Society Program (now called the Interdisciplinary Science Program) then as chair of the Environmental Studies Program. After graduating Yale University with an engineering degree, and a two-year stint at American Electric Power, a public utility, Mr. McGowan left to pursue graduate work in physics, then taught science and mathematics at private schools for ten years, winning the Teacher Recognition Award from the American Association of Physics Teachers in 1968. Following that, after serving for five years as Scientific Administrator of the Center for the Biology of Natural Systems, an interdisciplinary environmental research, and training program at Washington University in St. Louis, he became president of the Scientists’ Institute for Public Information (SIPI), which under his leadership became a major bridge between the scientific and journalist communities.

In episode 471 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Alan decided to go to Yale, what we can do to solve science denial, initiatives that we can take to reduce climate change, why nuclear power is part of our energy transition, why we are hearing so much scientific racism in this political election, what is the connection between mental health and social media usage, whether we should control and/or regulate Artificial Intelligence, and why college students should know who Franz Boas is.
