Stuart Kelter interviews Richard Ambron, a Columbia University professor emeritus of cell biology, anatomy, and pathology, specializing in neuroscience research, working in the same lab as Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist, Eric Kandel. For 25 years, he taught clinical anatomy to medical and dental students and was ten times voted teacher of the year. For forty years he ran a neuro-research lab at Columbia, focusing on the mechanisms of neuronal regeneration and the identification of the molecular signals for pain, which succeeded in patenting a potent and selective drug that targets a key enzyme in certain kinds of chronic pain. He is the author of the soon-to-be-published book, The Brain and Pain: Breakthroughs in Neuroscience, which is the subject of today’s interview.
Pathik Strand is the author of a new book, Flowering Into Awareness: A Spiritual Manifesto for the 21st Century. He joined Rev. Xolani Kacela, host of Take On Faith, for a lively conversation about the nature of consciousness. Strand’s book, out on January 28, is described as “a collection of passionate and inspiring essays on the nature of reality, as seen from the perspective of the unity of all life.” During the interview, Strand shared his understanding of the world’s most pressing problem: the lack of self-knowledge in the world. The solution, according to Strand, is knowing oneself, accepting consciousness as all there is, and living and giving love in ways to the world. Listen in for a lively conversation about consciousness, or awareness, and how it can change your life.
Las Cruces Bulletin publisher Richard Coltharp and writer Mike Cook recap the week's news and preview some upcoming events as they highlight some of the articles in the latest edition of the newspaper.
Wayne Pacelle, of Animal Wellness Action, will discuss their End Cockfighting campaign. New Mexico was the second-to-last state in the nation to ban cockfighting in 2007, when the persistence of former Sen. Mary Jane Gaecia was finally rewarded. But a new report by Animal Wellness shows a network of cockfighting rings still exists in the state.
Maya van Rossum, founder of the Green Amendment Movement, will call in from Santa Fe to discuss their effort to pass a constitutional amendment ensuring clean water and air; a stable climate; and healthy environment for both current and future generations.
Walt and Peter discussed items in the news, including the Biden legislative agenda, a possible Russian invasion of the Ukraine and a new Roundhouse session in Santa Fe.
Peter and Walt talked with Marisa Sage, director of the University Art Museum at NMSU, and artist Nikesha Breeze. They discussed the museum’s grand reopening, which will feature the works of artists Jackie Mitchell-Edwards along with Ms Breeze. The exhibition opens Friday evening, and events are scheduled throughout the nearly two-month run.
Republican lawmakers in New Mexico have alleged for years that our elections are plagued by massive voter fraud. They finally had their chance to prove it in 2011, with Susana Martinez as governor and Dianna Duran as secretary of state.
Duran was the first Republican secretary of state since E.A.Perrault in 1929. And, she came into office bound and determined to prove that claims of rampant voter fraud were real. Ed Williams, an investigative reporter for Searchlight New Mexico, has been covering ongoing problems with CYFD, The New Mexico State Children’s, Youth And Family Department. Under Governor Lujan-Grisham, the department has been operating in turmoil for months, and in November it was met with further chaos as yet another high level Deputy Director stepped down. Ed will be on the phone live from Santa Fe with Café con Leche host Nan Rubin to outline the troubled history of this department and the impact it is having statewide on foster care and child welfare services.
