Episode Description
Famine, severe climate change, global conflict, and vast wealth inequalities threaten our survival. Philosopher Jon Mills explores the potential for apocalypse in his urgent book, examining the crises that could end civilization. He argues that humanity's passive attitude towards these threats could be due to a collective desire for self-destruction, analyzing psychological and societal factors that contribute to our perilous situation.
Women, Life and Science
Wednesday at 7 AM Pacific on VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel
We are women, living a full life, have a professional career in science or in some form or another have been involved in the industry. We have stories to tell and knowledge to impart. We overcame challenges, uncertainties and continue to navigate the ever evolving professional and personal balance. We share in kindness and we share openly. We are grateful for many things. We have little regrets but easily forgive ourselves for our missteps. Women, Life and Science is the open forum for dialogue, knowledge presentations and story-telling.
