On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:

Jacob Birch, agrifood entrepreneur, Churchill Fellow, and PhD candidate with The University of Queensland, talking about Opinion article by Jacob Birch – Food, health and Country: Building a system that sustains. Jacob Birch is a PhD candidate within UQ’s Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation. His work focuses on Indigenous food sovereignty as nation-building, looking at the Gamilaraay peoples’ governance of their native grains industry as a case study. Associate Professor Kylie Gwynne, UNSW Director of Co-design Health Research and Innovation (CHRI) group, talking about Find it, treat it: 30-second test could help prevent stroke in Indigenous Australians. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be screened for a common heart rhythm condition at least 10 years earlier than current national guidelines recommend, say UNSW researchers. Research published today in the Medical Journal of Australia found Indigenous Australians develop atrial fibrillation (AF) nearly 16 years earlier on average than non-Indigenous Australians, contributing to substantially higher stroke rates at younger ages.
