A Day In the Life of a Hopkins Bloomberg Public Health Student - Duration: 3:09.
GIBBS NASIR: One of the great things about playing
in the morning, when the sun is just coming up,
is that I'm usually the only one in the court,
and I'm shooting around.
I'm not thinking about the basketball,
I'm really thinking about trying to get my head clear.
I have lived in a lot of different places within the US,
and I think Baltimore is a really wonderful, vibrant city.
There's a lot of variety in cafes and restaurants in Fells
Point.
It also has a lot of history, and I love the waterfront,
as well.
I think the shuttle really is an amazing resource.
It takes me about 25 or so minutes
to get to school from Charles Village.
It's so convenient because every 15 minutes there's
a bus that you can catch.
The Bloomberg School is one of the oldest
schools in the country.
And I think what's amazing about studying
here is that you're really standing
on the shoulders of giants who've
made countless contributions impacting massive public health
problems, such as the smallpox eradication, polio, tobacco
control.
The Bloomberg School is well recognized
and the Malaria community is very well known.
We have an insectory-- it's the largest insectory
anywhere in the country.
My work specifically looks at the details
of how the malaria parasite interacts
with different proteins.
I feel this sense of purpose to finish my projects,
because I actually think that the work that I'm doing
might actually hopefully lead to something one day.
The sense of purpose permeates through the community.
I think that just because the way the Bloomberg
School of Public Health has all these departments housed
together has been invaluable for me,
because now I know people from all these different departments
who have been very influential in the way
I think about research.
I think kind of interesting to think about how
diverse these topics are.
One of the reasons why I picked Bloomberg
was because of my early interactions
with my current adviser.
She makes time for her students, and she's a great mentor.
And you can talk to her not just about the academics,
the science, but also about potential career opportunities,
and networking opportunities.
I think what I really love about Bloomberg
have been my interactions with the other students.
I feel indebted to Hopkins for giving me the opportunity
to be among such a diverse group of people
who have been very influential, actually, on my development.
My name is Gibbs, and I'm in the ScM program
in the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology.

John Mielke - School of Public Health and Health Systems, University of Waterloo - Duration: 1:55.
The relationship between a mother's nutrition during pregnancy and the
health of her baby is well established. But the impact of her social experience
is less well understood. My name is John Mielke and I'm a researcher in the
School of Public Health and Health Systems. I'm interested in how a person's social
experiences become biologically embedded. In particular experiences during the
very earliest parts of life. I think in part what's going to come out of our
work is in a deeper understanding and appreciation for maternal newborn and
child health - a recognition that if we want to truly target to reduce adult
levels of disease we need to think decades before they actually appear.
I think supervising graduate students is important because certainly in
biomedical research the vast majority of what's done is as a result of the input
effort and time of graduate students. Graduate studies in neurobiology is
important because really the brain is the most fascinating organ system in the
body - and of course I'm biased - but when you think about it the brain is truly
the only organ that we have that is more than the sum of its parts.
It really is everything that composes you. Teaching is the reason I came to the
University of Waterloo. Before this I was a government scientist for five years
and while that was interesting I really felt as though something was missing and
what that missin part was is the opportunity to work with students.
I've decided to make the University of Waterloo my academic home because I feel
that they have a very strong student base they have wonderful support for
research and I feel that the School of Public Health and Health Systems in
particular is a very unique place because it has great support for a
multidisciplinary view of health.

Powered by Public Lands, BLM California's Oil and Gas Program - Duration: 3:52.
Nearly 120 years ago, a chance discovery in the San Joaquin Valley
would change the course of California's history forever –
oil.
From the first hand-dug well, 70-feet deep
to today's steam and thermal-enhanced extraction technologies,
hundreds of land-lease holders now extract millions of barrels of oil from these public lands each year.
Oil and gas has been around here since the late 1800's.
In fact, before that, there were natural oil seeps that Chumash Indians used to waterproof their canoes.
It was probably in the late 1800's that they started commercially increasing oil production and actually selling it.
They even dug for the oil in pits.
Then after a while they figured out a way to get it out by drilling a well
and by the turn of the century things were going pretty strong here.
They had hundreds, even thousands, of wells in the area by the early 1900's.
Initially, they used wooden derricks and then they moved on to steel derricks
and then after that they came up with portable derricks to both drill the wells and pull the wells when they needed.
This area plays a critical role in the America First Energy Plan, which supports the production of oil and gas,
strategic minerals and renewable sources on California public lands, helping power the state and the country.
The Midway Sunset field is one of the largest fields in the country.
We have as many as four wells per acre. In fact, the lease we are on right now
has several hundred wells in very few acres.
Our largest lease in fact has 1,600 wells on only 480 acres.
It produces about 75,000 barrels of oil a day -- nearly 30 million barrels of oil a year.
At that rate, it's enough to fuel tens of thousands of homes,
it helps make America energy independent
and the amount of oil that comes from this field could be producing for another 30, 40 or 50 years.
The Bureau of Land Management in California manages nearly 300 leases,
covering more than 200,000 acres of public land for the production of oil and natural gas.
That's encompassing over 7,000 usable wells
that are helping America become more energy independent,
while also creating a significant economic impact.
In addition to generating jobs,
the state's oil and gas industry paid $55 million in rent and royalties last year alone.
I'm proud of the working relationship Chevron has with the Bureau of Land Management,
where we cooperatively work with the BLM
to produce much-needed oil and natural gas for our state.
The petroleum industry in Kern County is essential to our community.
Oil and natural gas power our lives, providing good jobs,
generosity supporting our local nonprofits,
paying millions in taxes for schools, roads and public safety.
To keep production running smoothly and safely,
the Bureau of Land Management has a team of oil field inspection staff
that closely monitors drilling operations, production equipment and environmental compliance.
With oil production increasing, BLM California is at the forefront of energy, by Californians, for Californians and the nation.

Stéphane Bonifassi: dialogue between the public and private sectors - Duration: 2:16.
Stéphane Bonifassi is a lawyer at the Paris bar and his firm, Bonifassi Avocats, specializes
in complex financial crimes, with a focus on fraud, corruption and asset recovery.
He moderated a panel on establishing dialogue between the public and private sectors.
This panel was extremely interesting
because we saw extremely different approaches to the issue.
To me, the Italian situation is very striking
because they have asked the CONFINDUSTRIA,
which is the association of companies, Italian companies,
to come up with guidelines that are considered as the standard
and enforcement authorities are considering them as something that is relevant.
We have very diverging attitudes towards this issue of guidelines.
Another example, which is the French example, is the creation of an administrative entity
which will be in charge of giving guidelines and making sure that they are implemented
within companies and go within those companies to check that they are doing a proper job.
So we are seeing very diverging attitudes towards the issuing of guidelines.
At the end of the day, I think that the French model
is going to be interesting to watch developing.
Will they embrace what the private sector has to say?
Will that agency be in an attitude which will be for prevention rather than for repression?
We are going to see how that develops here.

Public Health: Online Master's Degree - Duration: 2:39.
Well, one really cool thing about public health is that it's multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary.
Public health students are so varied and are coming from so
many different backgrounds that it was expanding how I was thinking about
public health, not just at a local level, but at a state a national and a global level,
and the interconnectedness of all of these health topics.
The most pronounced characteristic of interactions between the faculty and
staff and the students, to me, was the fact that that you were constantly
challenged and, the same time, encouraged to contribute.
And in the process of reviewing the syllabus,
I asked them to identify,
"what do they expect of me as a professor and an instructor?"
and "what do they expect as a student who is coming to learn in an online environment?"
and "what did they expect of other students who are also learning with them online?"
I had no idea, prior to taking my courses online, that online courses would be so interactive.
Pretty much every class I've taken, we do have online group projects, which you know,
sometimes can be a bit of a challenge, but, at the same time, I think it's beneficial.
That cross-pollination of ideas, of experiences, really gives the
learning experience an enrichment that, I mean, that I enjoy and I'm sure the students enjoy too.
You learn a lot about other cultures, communication, how to deal with different people,
from different walks of life, from different perspectives, from different religions.
The coursework I took during the MPH program
made it so that I was knowledgeable and could speak with
people from a lot of different backgrounds in the public health field.
Now, I work with scientists. I work with health educators, with communication staff.
I work with researchers, with policy folks,
and it takes all of those jobs to make change.
I work in Atlanta, Georgia, at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
as a health communications specialist.
I work at Clay County Public Health Center as an epidemiology specialist.
I'm currently working as an environmental health specialist for the
Boone County Department of Public Health.
So when they started to to see that they
are now agents of change and, then they are now going to be able to do what,
I mean, what they have always desired to do,
that's when I get the most, the most excited.
