Health educator Amber Foxx talked with Lynn Moorer about her mystery book, The Calling, in which her protagonist Mae Martin begins a personal training certification course at a local university, is introduced to alternative medicine, and reconnects with her psychic powers which she first experienced as a youth and which enable her to help other beings in the past and the present but which she doesn’t understand very well. Mae is faced with a conflict between her family—especially her husband, who takes a dim view of her psychic powers, and her strong urge to help people and other beings. As she delves into resources available to her in the university community, she becomes more confident in her abilities and resolves to solve the mystery as to why her mother cast her father out of their life when Mae was a teenager.

The Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium was started in 2005 to compile data on the cancers and other diseases that plague the communities surrounding the Trinity Test on July 16, 1945, and advocate for fair compensation for their conditions. On April 1 of this year, instead of holding their annual demonstration at the Trinity site, generally open for the day but closed this year because of COVID, Tina Cordova, Paul Pino and Bernice Gutierrez joined Nan Rubin in a conversation about the Downwinders and the recent Congressional hearing focusing on compensation for those exposed to radiation caused by above-ground nuclear testing. On this week's Earth Matters, host Kevin Bixby does a post-mortem of the NM Legislature, with guests Jessica Johnson, Animal Protection of NM, and Luis Guerrero, Sierra Club.

Stuart Kelter interviews Sheldon Krimsky, professor of humanities and social sciences at Tufts University and a fellow of the Hastings Center, an independent bioethics research institution. His long and distinguished career has focused on the links between public policy and science and technology, environment and health, and ethics and values. His work stresses the importance of public understanding of science-related issues, and his many books for the nonspecialist attest to his commitment to providing the public with the best information available about such issues, often well ahead of the general media. Today’s interview will focus on his 2015 book, Stem Cell Dialogues: a philosophical and Scientific Inquiry Into Medical Frontiers.
