Travel where and when you can. Even better if you can incorporate your love of travel into your day job. Best if you can share that love and knowledge with others. This week – educational travel on the podcast. Join me this week as I continue my conversation with Deb Naybor, assistant professor of Environmental Studies at Paul Smith's College. 

What does it mean to be a curious traveler? How can you make an impact while you travel?

Why is learning a language important? Why should we study abroad? What does it mean to be a curious traveler? Join me this week as I talk to International Educator, Sarah Craver. We discuss the importance of learning a second (or third) language, why it's important to travel abroad, and how to do it with relative ease. We also share our nightmare travel stories as well as the importance of respect when traveling. 

Join me as I share places I've been that have been impactful. I will tell you why I travel, where, and how you should travel with an open heart, mind, and soul.

We are in the middle of National Public Health Week whose theme is Public Health is Where You Are. I am joined by Matthew Tyssee, health educator for the Cattaraugus County Health Department. We talk about what public health is, what disparities we see, and how we might improve health care for all.

I also highlight the social determinants of health and the themes for each day of National Public Health Week. Join me.

March is Women's History Month and each year for the past five (this is the sixth year), we have developed the March Into Women's History bracket. Each year the bracket has a theme. 

This year our theme is women who were overshadowed by men and the 50th anniversary of Title IX in the U.S. These women may have had their work and accomplishments completely stolen or they may have participated in a significant way on projects and been completely ignored in any praise and recognition of said project.

Data Doyenne interviews Nichole Gonzalez, Dean of Students & Executive Director for College Diversity, Equity and Belonging, Title IX Coordinator Elizabethtown College in PA, and Tori Harris, Division I basketball player at St. Bonaventure University, sports media graduate and digital journalism master's student. 

Disinformation, political discord, anti-vaccination, distrust - none of these is new and none of these is specific to the U.S. We see them all around the globe.

What role does the media play in disseminating disinformation and in combating its effects? 

This month I am joined by Santi Indra Astuti, lecturer in the faculty of communication science in the Department of Journalism at Bandung Islamic University (UNISBA), Bandung City, Indonesia and cofounder of Mafindo, a non-profit dedicated to combating hoaxes and disinformation, and Dr. Richard Lee, associate professor, Jandoli School of Communication, co-editor TAPinto Greater Olean, and director, Jandoli Institute.

This episode is the debut of my new monthly format. I take a look at what’s real and what is not. What is true and what is false. Come along on this journey with me.

What is trust? How do we measure it? Who and what do we trust? This week I take a look at how we define trust. I examine the Edelman Trust Barometer, a Pew Research study and Our World in Data to see who and what we trust globally. I also discuss how that impacts how we develop measures to change people's actions.
