Public spaces like parks are increasingly becoming less accessible. This phenomenon, observable from London to Lima, affects how we socialise, engage in physical activities and participate in our communities. One reason for this lack of access is the commodification of these spaces but what are the consequences of charging a fee to access a park? 

In this episode, Onya speaks with Nadir Chioino, an MSc PIE alum and multidisciplinary designer, and Daniela Chong, a city planner, architect and designer from Lima, Peru. What are the benefits of public spaces for our well-being, and what are the consequences when these spaces are privatized and become less accessible?

The Cost of Losing Our Public Spaces: From London to Lima

The discussion details the life and work of Selskar Michael Gunn, a pioneering public health advocate who made significant contributions to global health in the early 20th century. Gunn's career spanned various roles, including work with the Rockefeller Foundation, the League of Nations Health Organization, and the establishment of the Peking Union Medical College in China. Gunn championed a holistic approach to public health, emphasizing disease prevention, education, and international cooperation. His work, which aimed to improve health outcomes worldwide, had a lasting impact on modern public health systems, and his legacy continues to inspire public health professionals today. The discussion also highlights the historical significance of Gunn's 1932 US passport, which features visas for trips to China and offers insights into the travel practices of the time. https://www.passport-collector.com

The Tate Chronicles: Technology Roadblocks in Healthcare with Mark Massing

This two-part episode of the "Plugged In to Public Health" podcast features an interview with Dr. Jun Wang, an accomplished scientist and professor in the field of atmospheric sciences at the University of Iowa. 

Dr. Wang grew up in a rural community in eastern China, where he developed a fascination with weather and climate from a young age. He was inspired by observing the daily changes in weather and its impacts on agriculture in his hometown.

After completing his bachelor's degree in atmospheric science in China, Dr. Wang pursued a master's degree and then a Ph.D. in the United States, where he specialized in satellite remote sensing and atmospheric chemistry.

Dr. Wang's research combines satellite data and chemistry transport models to investigate critical topics such as air quality, wildfires, and the interactions between aerosols, clouds, and the land-atmosphere system. 
He has contributed to 10 satellite missions and holds numerous prestigious awards and accolades.

In the interview, Dr. Wang discusses the collaborative, interdisciplinary nature of atmospheric research, as it intersects with fields like public health, agriculture, and renewable energy. He also provides insights into the accuracy and challenges of numerical weather prediction models.

The second part of the interview will explore Dr. Wang's latest research projects, the future of remote sensing, and the next big challenges in atmospheric science.

In this episode of the 'HEAL Security Dispatch Daily Digest,' Richard Simmons dives into a range of recent cybersecurity incidents impacting multiple sectors, with a focus on healthcare, finance, technology, and the public sphere. Simmons opens with the sentencing of a prominent cryptocurrency launderer involved in extensive dark web operations, marking a pivotal move in the fight against cybercriminal networks. He further highlights a significant malware breach affecting SelectBlinds, where credit card data for nearly 200,000 customers was compromised, raising serious concerns over financial and data security. The episode also details a targeted phishing attack leveraging a Microsoft 365 vulnerability to spread the Remcos remote access Trojan through Microsoft Excel, which has added to the growing list of threats aimed at stealing sensitive data from unsuspecting users.

Throughout the briefing, Simmons underscores recent government and corporate responses to these cyber threats, including the FBI's alert on fraudulent emergency data requests aimed at U.S. organizations, which emphasizes the importance of verifying data requests to prevent breaches. He also discusses cybersecurity challenges within critical infrastructure, such as a ransomware attack that cost Halliburton $35 million and the launch of a Public Health Cybersecurity Readiness Survey, which aims to strengthen the resilience of healthcare agencies against ransomware and other cyber threats. Further updates include legal battles and cybersecurity adjustments from tech giants Facebook and Microsoft, as well as clarifications from Palo Alto Networks on a reported vulnerability. This comprehensive update captures the ongoing challenges and efforts across industries to address and mitigate cybersecurity risks in today’s digital landscape.

From Cryptocurrency Crackdowns to Healthcare Cybersecurity Readiness

This is part 2 of Lauren's conversation with Dr. Wang about his work in atmospheric science and implications for public health.

Dr. Jun Wang's lab at the University of Iowa is developing innovative technologies for satellite remote sensing and low-cost environmental sensors to better understand and combat challenges like wildfires, air quality, and climate change.

The satellite remote sensing allows them to extract 3D information about smoke layers and fire lines, providing critical data to predict air quality and support firefighting efforts.

The low-cost "iCanopy" and "iAir" sensors measure air and soil conditions at a neighborhood scale, helping to address environmental justice issues and inform decision-makers about resource allocation.

Dr. Wang's lab is leading an interdisciplinary project to study how severe weather and climate change are affecting rural communities, using sensor networks to collect high-resolution data and make it accessible to local citizens.

The research aims to provide tangible, data-driven solutions to help rural communities better prepare for and adapt to the impacts of a changing climate.
