First hour: Previewing UCLM's Community-Police Summit
Second hour: The latest in Lyme disease research and treatmentHow can trust be built between community members and local police? United Christian Leadership Ministry plans to explore that question as part of its upcoming Community-Police Summit. We talk with Reverend Lewis Stewart and veteran law enforcement leader and former Deputy Mayor of Rochester Cedric Alexander about their recommendations. We also explore their ideas for criminal justice reform. Our guests:
- Reverend Lewis Stewart, president of United Christian Leadership Ministry
- Cedric Alexander, Psy.D., veteran law enforcement leader, psychologist, author, and former Deputy Mayor of Rochester
Then in our second hour, why is Lyme disease so often misunderstood or misdiagnosed? Some doctors say detecting the disease has become even more difficult during the pandemic because some symptoms are similar to those of COVID-19. The pandemic has also renewed interest in a Lyme disease vaccine; a new vaccine is in clinical trials and could be available to the public by 2024. This hour, we discuss what Lyme disease is, misconceptions of it, and the latest in research and treatment. Our guests:
- Ted Louie, M.D., associate professor of clinical medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center
- Holly Ahern, associate professor of microbiology at SUNY Adirondack, and co-founder and vice president of the Lyme Action Network
