In this episode we chat about the sub-committees that provide advice to the main Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee. We are joined by Prof Richard Norman from the Economic Sub-Committee (ESC), and Prof Chris Etherton-Beer, Chair of the Drug Utilisation Sub-Committee (DUSC).

Richard is a health economist, so talks us through some of the health economic measures and considerations that go into ESC deciding whether to recommend that a medication should be subsidised through the Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme (PBS).

Chris is a clinician at Royal Perth Hospital and pharmacology researcher at UWA. Chris talks us through some of the questions that around expected utilisation of drugs that are being considered for inclusion on the PBS. These include how many people would be likely to use the drug, and the health needs of populations that the particular drug may help.

Episode 11 | Well Actually...

On this week's episode we're diving into the warning signs of Texas gerrymandering that Isaiah Martin highlighted in Town Hall meeting weeks prior. As concerned citizens, it's essential to stay informed about the actions of politicians like Greg Abbott and their impact on our democracy. Jolanda Jones, a Democrat, would likely agree that we need to hold our leaders accountable. In other news, the Corporation of Public Broadcasting, also known as CPB,  is dealing with fallout from the Trump administration as funding for their programming has been CANCELED.  And, on a lighter note, a a man claiming to be Colonel Sanders great nephew, 3 time over, has beef with KFC, the fried chicken food chain, and has released the *official* recipe on social media. All of this and SO MUCH MORE. Tune in!

Isaiah Martin Warned Us About This - S9, E22

What if the trash polluting our environment could be transformed into schools, homes, and opportunities? In San Juan Comalapa, Guatemala, that's exactly what's happening thanks to the vision of Matt Panaitz and Long Way Home. Twenty years ago, Matt was a Peace Corps volunteer stationed in this predominantly Mayan community nestled in Guatemala's Western Highlands. Rather than returning to ordinary life in the United States after his service, Matt sold his car, moved back to Guatemala, and embarked on a remarkable journey. What began as building the town's first grass soccer field evolved into a revolutionary approach to education and sustainability. The Hero School campus now stands as a testament to possibility—20 buildings constructed from over 35,000 discarded tires and 100,000 plastic bottles filled with trash. This approach has earned recognition from UNESCO- aligning Education with Sustainable Development and ripples far beyond the school itself—in one village, students mapped every household, identified needs, and implemented 57 stove projects, with grateful residents throwing rose petals at their feet as they departed. By treating waste as a resource rather than a problem, they've created sustainable infrastructure while addressing poverty through education that empowers students to become heroes in their own communities. Learn more about volunteering, donating, or bringing these concepts to your community at LWHomeGreen.org.

Eps 508 Long and Variable Lag

Welcome to RESILIENT EARTH RADIO where we host speakers from the United States and around the world to talk about critical issues facing our planet and the positive actions people are taking. We also let our listeners learn how they can get involved and make a difference. Hosts are Leigh Anne Lindsey, Producer @ Sea Storm Studios and Founder of Planet Centric Media, along with Scott & Tree Mercer, Founders of Mendonoma Whale & Seal Study which gathers scientific data that is distributed to other organizations like NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration). A focus of this podcast series are Nature-Based Economies that help rebalance the Earth and raise awareness about the value of whales, elephants, mangroves, seagrass, the deep seas, waterways and forests - our natural world - towards that rebalancing. This addresses the effects of our own human-caused climate change, and what we can do about it - from simple steps to grand gestures! Global experts, citizen scientists, activists, fisher folk, and educators examine and explain ciritical issues facing our planet and actions people are taking to mitigate and rebalance climate. We discuss the critical role of carbon storage, and how it is essential for all life forms on earth.  This awareness could lead to new laws, policies and procedures to help protect these valuable resources, and encourage economies around them to replace the existing exploitation of oceans, forests, and animals.

Taking positive action, and getting people involved, that's our goal.
