Historical Trauma and Epigenetics ~ Trade War ~ Wild Strawberries ~ Equine Therapy

https://med.und.edu/news/2018/10/warne-named-director-of-master-of-public-health-program-at-und-smhs.html

Wednesday, May 29, 2019 – Major traumas rarely impact just one person. Historical trauma is the combined effect of mass tragedies. New research shows that mass tragedies, like genocide, have consequences on a cellular level. Dr. Donald Warne of the UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences spoke about the impact of unresolved trauma on American Indian health last month, as part of the health equity lecture series at the University of Washington School of Public Health. ~~~ Life is about to get more expensive. The trade war with China means prices will spike on hundreds of products ranging from steel to bacon. That’s the subject of a Trahant Reports essay from former UND professor Mark Trahant, who is now editor of Indian Country Today. ~~~ In this week’s Natural North Dakota, biologist Chuck Lura teaches us about wild strawberries. ~~~ Bison Strides is a program to help people with various challenges by introducing them to horseback riding. Here to tell us how this interesting therapy works, is director Erika Berg, associate professor in the Animal Sciences Department at NDSU.
