This episode first aired on October 26, 2024. Clostridium botulinum is a bacterium that can cause botulism, a serious illness caused by a toxin that attacks the nervous system and can lead to paralysis, breathing difficulty and death. Botox is short for botulinum toxin.
In small doses, the toxin can be used to treat medical conditions such as strabismus (misaligned eyes) and blepharitis (abnormal blinking or twitching). More recently, Botox injections have become one of the most requested procedures in facial rejuvenation. Tune in to learn more from Dr. Bruce Brod, professor of dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania.

Education is the most reliable way to escape poverty by completing college or a certain program. However, many students in community colleges, especially those on scholarship, fail to complete their program due to food insecurity and drop out. Dr. Matthew Carabasi and Mr. Jim Rafeedie have launched FAST with their Princeton ’74 classmates and the American Association of Community Colleges. 100% of the money raised with this website-based campaign will go directly to the 39 participating community colleges to support student food pantries and help a struggling student realize his/her dream.
