The History of Israel and Palestine

Hey everyone, in this episode I talk about the history behind the Israel and Palestine war and what led up to it. Hope you learn something new! Also, quick correction- at the beginning of the episode I meant to say October 7th, 2023, but said October 23, 2023 instead.

Interviewing A Professor About NIH Budget Cuts

Hey everyone, in this episode we had the amazing opportunity to interview my (Celine’s) dad, a professor at UCCS who has a lot of insights to offer on the topic of NIH budget cuts. We talk about indirect costs, why the proposal to cap indirect costs at 15% harms research institutions, and what the future might look like for universities. Enjoy!

The Truth About Puppy Mills

Hey everyone! Going along with our current theme of advocating for animal welfare, this week we decided to talk about puppy mills. Puppy mills are unethical mass breeding sites for dogs that are often sold to pet stores. The conditions dogs are forced to endure in these places are egregious, and Celine herself has seen the impacts of the mills on her dog Alfie. We hope this episode sheds light on these issues and empowers you to contact your legislators to enact change and end puppy mills!
