SUMMARY:A Greener World - Empowering Sustainable Agricultural Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Emily Moose\, Director of Communications and Outreach for A Greener World\, will speak to us about the work of the organization and her role in it.  In addition to helping farmers get certifications for animal welfare\, grassfed beef\, non-GMO\, and organic foods\, they also help you\, the consumer\, become informed about what labels mean and how you can help fuel these critical practices with your smart purchases.  Understanding food labeling is as important and as confusing as ever.  Ms. Moose will provide us with the information we need to be good consumers. \nEmily Moose developed a love of agriculture at an early age during summer visits to her cousin’s hog farm in eastern Virginia. She is a graduate of UNC-Asheville and the NC State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Agricultural Leadership Development Program and is based in rural North Carolina. Emily leads AGW’s outreach team throughout the U.S. and Canada\, guiding communications and developing new programs and initiatives within the organization–including AGW’s labeling support\, volunteer and membership programs.

SUMMARY:Addiction Medicine – Dealing with Addiction in Real Time in a Community Mental Health Clinic
DESCRIPTION:(Rescheduled from an earlier date) \nThe Opioid Epidemic is being talked about widely in the media.  Dr. Amelia Davis will speak to us about her work in treating opiate addiction. \nWe will specifically focus on opiate addiction\, including heroin and various oral pain medications (whether prescribed or street) and various illicit substances.  We will also talk about hidden addictions\, how people are able to hide addiction from their families\, and also about how their dealers are cutting street drugs with other high addictive substances\, most specifically cocaine and fentanyl combinations.  We will talk about how to deal with these multiple dynamics in a compassionate and humane manner\, and how this affects patients\, their families\, and how it is seen in all sectors of society. \nDr. Amelia Davis\, MD\, graduated with a BS from University of Minnesota\, and a Master’s degree in Science from University of Florida in Gainesville\, in psychiatric academics.  She earned her medical degree from the University of Minnesota\, and did her residence at the University of Minnesota Hospitals\, with a one year fellowship in psychotic disorders\, and three peer certifications in various addiction medicine components.  She is a certified buprenorphine prescriber and will be sitting for her addiction boards in October of 2019.

SUMMARY:Editing Life: Ethics & Governance of New Genetic Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer Kuzma\, Ph.D.\, will speak to us on  on “Editing Life: Ethics & Governance of New Genetic Engineering.”  \n \nThis talk will explore emerging biotechnologies applied to agriculture and ecosystems\, namely gene editing and gene drives\, and whether developers are repeating the mistakes made with the 1st generation of GMOs while expressing a desire to “do better” with regard to public confidence and trust.  Dr. Kuzma will examine key ethical issues associated with how decisions about gene edited crops are being made and how gene drives are likely to be regulated\, followed by a group discussion  about whether we are on the “right path” (responsible and sustainable) with 2nd generation GMOs.  You can read an article by her which is related to her talk: https://issues.org/regulating-gene-edited-crops/ \nJennifer Kuzma\, Ph.D.\, is a Goodnight-NC GSK Foundation Distinguished Professor\, School of Public and International Affairs\, and Co-Director\, Genetic Engineering & Society Center of North Carolina State University. \nJennifer Kuzma \n \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:A Palestinian Patient Advocate with Rabbis for Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:Zakaria Sadeh is a Muslim Palestinian from the West Bank.  He was born in 1978\, ten years into the occupation\, and grew up in a Muslim village near Nablus\, within close proximity to several Jewish settlements.  From an early age\, Zakaria felt comfortable talking to his Jewish neighbors.  He learned their language\, and because of his fluency in both Hebrew and Arabic\, he eventually found his calling in helping Palestinians who required medical care in Israeli hospitals and clinics.  These people were often intimidated by the Israeli bureaucracy and their own inability to understand the language.  Thus began his work\, since the time of his early adulthood\, in serving as a patient advocate\, accompanying them\, jumping through the hoops and the hurdles of red tape\, and interpreting for them.  As security became more intense in the intervening years\, Zakaria’s expertise was also required to get these patients through the myriad of checkpoints\, which were designed to make it as difficult as possible for Palestinians to get to Israel to receive badly needed medical care.  Mr. Sadeh has worked in this capacity\, both as a volunteer and as a paid consultant\, with Physicians for Human Rights\, Machsom Watch\, and other organizations\, but primarily as a Field Director for Rabbis for Human Rights. \nBecause of his gift for helping people\, he became very well known and highly sought after throughout the West Bank.  Tragically\, however\, there were also very serious threats against him and his family\, and Mr. Sadeh made the decision to move with his family to the United States\, where they now reside.  He continues to work via Skype as a consultant for Rabbis for Human Rights. \n\n
