    Description/Abstract:
    Major depressive episode (MDE) among adolescents is a significant public health issue. Approximately, 4.5 million adolescents have experienced an MDE in the past year. This study examined whether MDEs among adolescents differed based on specific parenting behaviors. A national sample of adolescents ages 12 to 17 years (n = 11,572) completed the 2023 National Survey of Drug use and Health. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine whether lifetime and past year MDE differed based on parenting behaviors. Results indicated that adolescents at highest risk for both lifetime and past-year MDE were female, older (14-15 or 16-17-years-old), and white. Regarding parenting behaviors, adolescents at highest risk for lifetime and past-year MDE were those who had parents never/seldom check their homework, never/seldom help with their homework, never/seldom limit the amount of TV, never/seldom tell them they did a good job, never/seldom tell them they were proud of them, and who argued/fought with them ten or more times in the past year. These findings show the intricate relationship between adolescent MDE and parenting behaviors. Public health educators should encourage parents to engage in authoritative parenting behaviors (defined as high levels of parental support, warmth, and clear expectations) to help prevent MDE among adolescents. Findings should be used to assist program developers in incorporating parenting components in MDE prevention and treatment efforts.

  • Occupational Injustice: Mental Stress and Chronic Pain in Gig Laborers

    Description/Abstract:
    This research analyzes the "syndemic" of mental stress and physical pain among 299 unregulated laborers in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Results reveal that psychological distress increased the risk of physical injury by 28-fold, highlighting a critical link between economic instability and worker health. These findings offer urgent parallels to the U.S. "gig economy," where delivery and warehouse workers face similar occupational injustices without safety nets. The presentation moves beyond ergonomics to propose a Social Justice Framework, challenging attendees to advocate for ethical supply chains and for mental health protections for vulnerable workers, both globally and locally.

    Description/Abstract:
    What happens when the biggest barrier to scientific discovery isn’t a lack of ideas, but the cost of the tools themselves? In this episode, Jarin Earle, a junior in Mechanical Engineering at North Carolina A & T State University, shares how a summer research project designing a low-cost viscometer changed the way he thinks about engineering; not as a way to build machines, but as a way to expand who gets the opportunity to do science.

    Description/Abstract:
    Through my college journey, the terms “research” and “zero-emissions” have become central to my academic identity. Not just because they reflect both my lab experience and keen interest in sustainable tech, but because they evoke a personal question that many high school seniors and college underclassmen grapple with: what does it mean to be a scientist? I’m Trevon Collins, a mechanical engineering student at Tennessee Technological University. In this podcast episode, I’ll share the answers I’ve found through investigating age-old secrets of phase change and their implications for the green transition.

    Description/Abstract:
    Kennedy Whiters lives by "Do not fear failure; rather, fear not trying." She participated in the REALIZE REU when she was a junior at Albany State University. Kennedy performed research on methanogens, a type of anaerobic bacteria that consumes carbon dioxide and turns it into natural gas, which we can use as a source of energy in power plants. In this episode, she describes her experience working in the lab of Prof Annie Rowe, where she found the lab group to be a good source of positive support, like her family.

  • Activation of a branched chain amino acid rheostat restores replication-dependent hematopoietic stem cell fitness

    Description/Abstract:
    Adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) sustain the lifelong production of all mature blood and immune cells. HSCs possess extensive regenerative potential, but their self-renewal is limited. A long-standing question has been why replicative history negatively impacts HSC functions. We found that accrued divisions alter HSC production; generating low-output bone-marrow landscapes that are highly variable in lineage contribution and transcriptionally divergent within individual lineages. Division-driven HSC functional alterations arise from redirecting branched chain amino acid (BCAA) usage from catabolic towards anabolic activity, causing faster HSC cell cycle kinetics. Adding a BCAA transamination product overcomes the BCAA catabolic checkpoint and slows down the cell cycle, durably rescuing balanced lineage output of HSCs with accrued divisions. Hence, our study suggests the paradigm whereby replicative history causes metabolic and transcriptional drift, generating divergent HSC output. Division-dependent HSC functional drift can be restored by metabolite replacement, which has long-term therapeutic implications for HSC regenerative medicine.
