A virologist by training, she’s worked in universities and industry. Now she is living the SciComm dream by working as a science writer. This episode has been a long time in the making, but it’s a pleasure to share this conversation about making science more accessible because it seems more urgent than ever.

    Cancer in our Community - The caregiver's episode pt 2

    This episode is dedicated to my beautiful sister Sukhneil, also known as Sukhy and Pickle. Terms like hospice and palliative care can instantly make us think of worst case scenarios, but whether you are a patient or a caregiver, they should be considered a normal part of the experience offered by experts in Supportive Care Medicine. Treating a patient is not just about killing the cancer, but doing everything you can to improve their quality of life, a subject that Dr. Saima Rashid is familiar with as a specialist in palliative care, and Parmvir as a caregiver to her sister Sukhneil. Join us to learn more about how and when to request services, and the benefits that they offer. Find out about the work being done by Moffitt’s Department of Supportive Care Medicine and how they can help you: https://www.moffitt.org/treatments/supportive-care-medicine/ Learn more about our guests: Dr. Saima Rashid: https://www.moffitt.org/providers/saima-rashid/ Dr. Parmvir Bahia: parmvir.com This is the second part of a conversation for the Cancer in our Community podcast, which is produced by: The Office of Community Outreach and Engagement at Moffitt Cancer Center and Artha Science Media.

    Cancer in our Community - The caregiver's episode pt 1

    Cancer is a profoundly disabling illness, whether that is due to side effects from the life-saving treatments or the disease itself. Understandably then, patients need constant and vital support in the form of caregivers, but who do we consider to be a caregiver, and what does their role involve? In this episode we discuss the essential role of caregivers, who qualifies as a caregiver, and the responsibilities they take on. We also address an important question: who looks after the caregivers when they themselves are impacted? Join us as we uncover the challenges and rewards of caregiving in the context of cancer, and highlight the importance of support for those who give so much to others. This episode is part of the Cancer in our Community series making cancer care more equitable for all patients. Learn more about our guests Mr. Travis Coy and Dr. Parmvir Bahia. Learn more about our host Dr. Brandon Blue. This podcast is produced by: The Office of Community Outreach and Engagement and Artha Science Media.The featured music is: Sunlight Cascading Through the Clouds — Artificial.Music [Audio Library Release] Music provided by Audio Library Plus Watch.

    Neobe and the cancer matrix

    Using bacteria to treat a disease like cancer may not seem very intuitive, but there are very smart reasons for doing so. No one knows this better than Dr. Pedro Correa de Sampaio, co-founder of Neobe, a company doing just that. No, the name isn’t a reference to the Matrix movies (for those of us old enough to remember them). It’s derived from “neo” as in new and “obe” as in the end of microbe, which makes perfect sense since they synthesize bacteria from scratch. We also talked to Pedro about traveling as a scientist, setting up his own biotech company and the need for science communication. Keep up with Pedro’s work and advances on Linkedin and check out the website for Neobe. We’re very much enjoying listening to Afonso Cabral’s album Morada, which you too can download from Bandcamp, or check out his website for more info about his music.

    The pharmacovigilante

    He’s here, he’s there; Dr. Hillman brings drug safety everywhere! So given the rules and regulations he needs to follow, the title “vigilante” could be nothing but ironic. We chart David’s progress through choosing pharmacology as a subject to study, and settling on pharmacovigilance as a career to pursue.
