SUMMARY:National Geographic Live: Weird World of Frogs with Dr. Jodi Rowley
DESCRIPTION:Bright colors and captivating calls are just the start with some of Earth’s most amazing species. Frogs can turn nearly invisible\, leap more than 20 times their body length\, and defend themselves with poison. We go on assignment with conservation biologist and National Geographic Explorer Jodi Rowley to discover all kinds of incredible abilities and springy biodiversity. \nJodi Rowley is a National Geographic Explorer and conservation biologist. She is the curator of amphibian and reptile conservation biology at the Australian Museum and a conjoint associate professor at The University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney. Rowley’s research seeks to uncover and document biodiversity and inform conservation decisions\, and she also has a passion for communicating biodiversity conservation. Rowley completed her Ph.D. on rainforest frog ecology and conservation at James Cook University. Rowley has led dozens of expeditions in search of amphibians in Australasia and co-discovered 40 frog species new to science. She is the lead scientist of FrogID\, a national citizen science project developed by the Australian Museum that has engaged tens of thousands of people across the continent to collect over 1.4 million records of frogs across Australia. Rowley was named one of “100 Inspiring Australians” by Qantas in 2020\, and 2023 Field Leader in Zoology by The Australian’s Research Magazine. She has one snake and two frog species from Southeast Asia named in her honor.

SUMMARY:PHC Annual Ethics Conference
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Care Under Constraint: Ethics\, Scarcity\, and Possibility in Health Care \nScarcity is one of the defining ethical challenges in health care. It reaches beyond budgets\, beds\, and staffing into the time\, energy\, and emotional capacity needed to care. It is a moral invitation to reflect on what matters most and shapes not only what is possible\, but how choices are made\, values are tested\, and innovation takes root. PHC’s 2027 Ethics Conference will explore the ethical complexity of scarcity\, including its impact on patients\, providers\, and organizations. Join us for a day of learning and conversation about scarcity\, ethical discernment and practice\, and what becomes possible when difficult choices are faced with clarity\, imagination\, and purpose. \nJoin us at the Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue located at 580 W Hastings St\, Vancouver\, BC on April 30\, 2027.
