Show Notes
This week, it’s a Dr. Data Takeover—and we’re hungry for solutions.
Co-hosts Dr. Chris Kulesza (Rice University) and Dr. Shreela Sharma (UTHealth School of Public Health) lead a special episode dedicated to one of the most urgent issues facing Texas families: food insecurity. From pediatric clinics to City Hall, we spotlight the people and policies working to feed children and families in crisis.
First, Dr. Sandy McKay shares how pediatricians are screening for food insecurity and supporting families through clinical care. Then we dive into community solutions with Mike Pomeroy from Brighter Bites, Steven James from the City of Houston, and Shariq Ghani, Chair of the Houston Food Insecurity Board.
Plus, Katarina Reyes returns as Ms. Data with a new Data of the Day, and Rebecca George serves up fresh slang in this week’s Hip Speak segment. From research to real-world response, this episode is all about turning data into action to ensure every child has access to nutritious, affordable food.
