Welcome to The ReSisters’ podcast, “No Ostriching Here.”!   Christine Cooper and MJ Nabuurs have been cutting their chops in audio spaces for the last 3 1/2 years where they developed an international following and a reputation for being willing to talk about issues that many are more comfortable looking away from.

    Ep#9: Public HELLth, with Walker Bragman

    The ReSisters have a compelling and frank conversation with investigative reporter and Executive Director of the Accountability Journalism Institute (AJI), Walker Bragman. They discuss with Walker the current and ongoing need for independent and trustworthy journalism, the immense political influence on public health in the U.S. and around the globe, and the dangerous impacts of groups like the Brownstone Institute on public health information, messaging and government policy.   Christine and MJ also get Walker’s perspectives on the evolution of right-wing narratives, especially during the pandemic, genocide in the trans community, and the rise of fascism. And, as always, The ReSisters pull out where the hope is - to help us all keep swimming.

    Episode #8: Unapologetic with Dr. Jonathan Howard

    Christine and MJ speak to Dr. Jonathan Howard, a professor of neurology and psychiatry at NYU school of medicine. The ReSisters learn about Dr. Howard’s deep (and more than fifteen years long) understanding of the anti-vaccine movement. Dr. Howard provides insight into his two recent books, “We Want Them Infected” and “Everyone Else Is Lying To You”, both of which are bold and necessary accounts of how we have gotten to a place where, seemingly, science no longer informs policy and where bad actors are rewarded for their lack of expertise, knowledge, ethics, and compassion. Tune in to hear Dr. Howard’s takes on if there is light at the end of the tunnel!

    Episode 7: The Aging Immune System with Prof. Dawn Bowdish

    The ReSisters speak to Dawn Bowdish, a Professor at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and Executive Director of the Firestone Institute for Respiratory Health. Prof. Bowdish sheds light on the concept of aging, talks about her research regarding the link between respiratory infections and cognitive decline, and defines “macrophage”, the root of her social media handles. She shares her thoughts on the role vaccines play in society, how we might begin to work through increased vaccine hesitancy, and chats with Christine and MJ about the need for strong science communication in times of public health crises. Prof. Bowdish also explains how her one-woman-show came to be – reaffirming that scientists are often about more than just science!

    Episode 6: Talk About TCell Exhaustion! with Dr. AJ Leonardi

    The ReSisters have an enlightening conversation with Dr. AJ (Anthony) Leonardi, a very early and extremely vital noisemaker about the potential negative impacts to our Tcells/immune systems from Covid (SARS-CoV-2) infections and reinfections, and what that may mean on a population level. They delve into some of the issues in academia, medicine, science, politics, and human nature that have impacted how some have handled being faced with information and people - like AJ - who they’d prefer to dismiss. The ReSisters also learn about AJ's true love of the arts and his fascinating interests beyond science, and about how the values instilled in him at a young age continue to guide him in his actions and life choices.
