Summary
Mosquitoes have historically been a significant threat to human life, reportedly killing nearly half of all people who have ever lived. In response, scientists, with backing from the Gates Foundation, have developed innovative bed nets capable of killing up to 90% of mosquitoes, which has led to a substantial reduction in malaria rates. This advancement represents a critical step towards a healthier future for populations at risk.
The episode delves into the complexities of public health, particularly how social determinants like income, education, and housing impact individual health outcomes. Health literacy emerges as a vital resource, enabling individuals to navigate the healthcare system effectively. The discussion highlights the interplay between financial resources and knowledge, emphasizing that autonomy over one’s life significantly influences health.
Chronic stress, often exacerbated by systemic issues such as racism and economic inequality, is identified as a major factor affecting health. The concept of "weathering," introduced by Dr. Arlene Geronimus, illustrates how prolonged stress can lead to accelerated aging and poorer health outcomes, particularly among marginalized groups. The episode also introduces intersectionality, explaining how overlapping identities can compound discrimination and health disparities.
Public health experts are increasingly recognizing the need for tailored interventions that consider the unique challenges faced by different communities. By understanding the intricate relationship between identity, societal acceptance, and health, there is potential for more effective public health strategies that address these disparities.

Our identities, societies, and health are all mixed together in cool, weird, and often deeply unfair ways. One of the big factors that comes out of that mix is stress. Stress impacts our health in a number of ways. In this episode of Crash Course Public Health, we’re going to go beyond the basics and look at the ways society affects our stress, which in turn impacts our health.Check out our shared playlist with APHA: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDjqc55aK3kywF2dd97_Jh5iP0d2ARhdo Vanessa’s channel: https://www.youtube.com/braincraft Sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OHJiQ1njj5jWJC1YLDBzQgKC1QfnVgqJbbpK6qs7ekA/edit?usp=sharingChapters: Introduction: Society and Your Health 00:00Health Literacy 2:05Stress 3:45Measuring Stress 6:26Adverse Childhood Experiences 7:36Identity and Health 8:51Review & Credits 11:31***Crash Course is on Patreon!

In this episode of Black American History, Clint Smith teaches you about the complicated history of racial tension in South Central Los Angeles. You'll learn about the Watts Rebellion of 1965, a 6-day uprising in response to police brutality that shaped the landscape of racial tension in southern California for years to come. This tension culminated in two major events -- the murder of Latasha Harlins and the beating of Rodney King in 1991 -- which incited the L.A. Uprisings of 1992.

Despite all the hardship of being a Black person in Colonial America, some Black people were able to defy the harsh conditions and create art. Today we're learning about a teenager who attained literacy and wrote poems that reached a large slice of the population and helped changed the ways that white Colonists thought about Black people.Clint's book, How the Word is Passed is available now! https://bookshop.org/a/3859/9780316492935VIDEO SOURCESCatherine Adams and Elizabeth H.

Public health activities are all the ways society coordinates to deliver better health to people. That may sound super broad, and it is, so in this episode of Crash Course Outbreak Science, we'll take a look at public health works to prevent outbreaks. We'll learn what public health is and what public health agencies do, look at the three tiers of public health responses, and revisit one of our favorite fictional cities to see these responses in action.This episode of Crash Course Outbreak Science was produced by Complexly in partnership with Operation Outbreak and the Sabeti Lab at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard—with generous support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.Sources:https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/determinants-of-healthhttps://www.rcn.org.uk/clinical-topics/public-health/the-role-of-nursing-staff-in-public-health/managing-outbreakshttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-40ac92b1-1750-4e86-9936-2cda6b0acb3fhttp://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/329438/9789241516839-eng.pdfhttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/05/health/coronavirus-swiss-cheese-infection-mackay.htmlhttps://www.open.edu/openlearn/science-maths-technology/science/public-health-approaches-infectious-disease/content-section-3.2https://www.open.edu/openlearn/science-maths-technology/science/public-health-approaches-infectious-disease/content-section-3.3#:~:text=Medical%20treatment%20to%20prevent%20the,the%20spread%20of%20infectious%20disease.https://www.iwh.on.ca/what-researchers-mean-by/primary-secondary-and-tertiary-preventionhttps://www.cdc.gov/onehealth/basics/index.htmlhttps://www.cdc.gov/winnablebattles/report/foodsafety.htmlhttps://www.cdc.gov/training/publichealth101/documents/introduction-to-surveillance.pdfhttps://static01.nyt.com/images/2020/03/22/science/11SCI-VIRUS-CURVE1/11SCI-VIRUS-TRACKER1-superJumbo.jpg?quality=90&auto=webp***Watch our videos and review your learning with the Crash Course App!

In which John Green returns to teaching World History! This week, we'll be talking about the idea of civilization, some of the traditional hallmarks of so-called civilization, and why some people would choose to live outside the civilization model. It turns out that not everyone who lives outside of what we traditionally think of as a "civilized" social order is necessarily a barbarian! To defuse any tension you may be feeling, I'll just tell you now that the Mongols are back. You'll learn about Zomia, swidden agriculture, and even a little about anarchy!Crash Course is on Patreon!
