Dr. Arthur “Tim” Garson is Provost of the University of Virginia, and the former Dean of the Medical School. He joins Coy Barefoot on the February 14th edition of WINA’s “Charlottesville–Right Now!” to weigh in on the health care debate currently going on in the U.S. Presidential Race. Garson is also the author of Health Care Half Truths: Too Many Myths, Not Enough Reality.
Meredith Gunter is the outreach specialist with the Demographics and Workforce Section at the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service at the University of Virginia. Gunter joins Coy on the October 13th edition of WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now to talk about the population milestone crossed in the United States. As of this past Tuesday, the U.S. Census bureau lists the population as being over 300,000,000 people. Gunter’s unit sponsored a major conference on the topic last week.
U.Va astronomer Ed Murphy drops by WINA to talk with Coy Barefoot for his regular update on space and the solar system. Ed explains the International Astronomical Union’s decision last week to reclassify Pluto as a dwarf planet. Pluto lacks the mass to “clear out its neighborhood” and is no longer considered to be a full planet. Ed gives his opinion on this, and also gives an update on the two Voyager probes and the Pluto Express mission.
