Guest: Laurie Nadel, PhD, Psychotherapist, Hurricane Sandy survivor, Author, “The Five Gifts: Discovering Hope, Healing and Strength When Disaster Strikes” People from Texas to Florida will spend the coming months and years rebuilding their homes and lives after the devastating hurricanes and flooding of the last few weeks. Irma is still churning her way up the Gulf Coast, no longer a hurricane, but still a large, powerful storm.  Psychotherapist Laurie Nadel had built a career helping people overcome trauma when, in 2012, she lost her own home to Hurricane Sandy. She would go on to lead support groups for Sandy survivors and has a forthcoming book about healing from a disaster.

Saving Lives with Medicine Pouch

Guest: Robert Malkin, PhD, Professor of the Practices of Biomedical Engineering and Global Health, Duke University More than one million children in the world have HIV. Many of them got it from their mothers at birth. Transmission of the virus from mother to child can be prevented if the baby receives HIV drugs soon after being born. But many babies in the developing world are born at home and either don’t get the medicine or receive it too late.  That’s why Duke University Professor Robert Malkin and his engineering students invented the Pratt Pouch—it’s like a ketchup packet of antiretroviral drugs that can last up to a year and doesn’t need any refrigeration. The mother just tears it open and squeezes the medicine into her baby’s mouth after birth.
