    Cuban Health Care: The Ongoing Revolution - Don Fitz

    Quiet as it's kept inside the United States, the Cuban revolution has achieved some phenomenal goals, reclaiming Cuba's agriculture, advancing its literacy rate to nearly 100 percent - and remaking its medical system. Cuba has transformed its health care to the extent that this "third-world" country has been able to maintain a first-world medical system, whose health indicators surpass those of the United States at a fraction of the cost.  Don Fitz combines his deep knowledge of Cuban history with his decades of on-the-ground experience in Cuba to bring us the story of how Cuba's health care system evolved and how Cuba is tackling the daunting challenges to its revolution in this century.

    Cosmic Tusk and Comet Impacts - George Howard

    Explore abrupt climate change and pandemic induced by comets and asteroids during human history at George Howard’s blog called The Cosmic Tusk. The Tusk also contains a treasure trove of scientific documents in The Cosmic Tusk Bibliography or The Complete Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis Bibliography and Publication Archive. Links to fascinating findings throughout. For many years, George has been in close touch with a group of scientists known as the Younger Dryas Boundary Team, or Comet Research Group, which studies and proposes the Younger Dryas Boundary Hypothesis, which we’re going to talk a lot about here very soon.  At the Tusk and during this episode, you can find out about topics like what a Cosmic Tusk actually is, the recent findings of a cosmic impact at ancient Abu Hureyra, the mysterious and impressive Carolina Bays, the implications of the discovery of the Hiawatha Crater under an ice sheet in Greenland, and we even touch on infectious microbes inside cosmic dust collected from the OUTSIDE surface of Space Station windows. Yeah, links are in the show notes for your further exploration. Thanks for listening, subscribe if you haven’t already, and...for a little context, we recorded this a couple of months ago, when life was still relatively normal, despite the knowing that coronavirus impacts, pardon the pun, were on the way. You’ll also hear some curious audio sounds when I talk, in the early part of the episode which I minimized as much as possible while keeping all of the fun stuff. I think you’re going to enjoy hearing about all of this I mentioned earlier. So which one should we start with?  If you haven’t already, please tap subscribe in your preferred podcast player, and if you’d like to get email reminders when new episodes are published, click the link in the show notes to join the podcast email list.  Subscribe HERE for Email Episode Reminders Episode’s Music by Chris Candito and Abe Vandenberg Bandcamp -> “Time’ll Say”  All Podcast Music Album HERE THIS EPISODE’s WEBPAGE >>>>> Questions about this episode?  Want to share a comment or a topic for a future episode?  You can send me (Abe) an email using this online message form: Click Here Links and References: The Cosmic Tusk - Exploring abrupt climate change and pandemic induced by comets and asteroids during human history.
