For many people who have had Covid, it isn’t always over once you’ve recovered from the virus. According to a study from the Penn State College of Medicine, more than half of the 236 million people worldwide who have been diagnosed with Covid-19 will experience what is commonly known as Long Covid.
In this episode we hear from Dr. Jeff Demain, an allergist and immunologist with the Allergy Asthma Immunology Center of Alaska. ATMI senior producer Daisy Carter talked with Dr. Demain about Long Covid, its various lingering symptoms a person can have, how it should be treated, and the role vaccines play.
They spoke on July 19th, 2022.

In her second book, Message Not Found, high-schooler Bailey loses her best friend unexpectedly. To work through her grief, she creates a chatbot, only to discover things she had never even known about her best friend.

There are numerous different ways in which infectious diseases are tracked to give us an understanding of how they affect our community. One of those ways is something called Syndromic Surveillance.
It’s a system that allows public health officials to keep an eye on what’s going on in emergency departments and urgent cares around the state. Alaska has been using syndromic surveillance since 2014 to track things like influenza and opioid-related medical emergencies.
Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, syndromic surveillance has been used to monitor the virus and related health effects.
ATMI senior producer Quinn White spoke with the person running Alaska’s syndromic surveillance system, Anna Frick, an epidemiologist with the state health department. Frick breaks down how the system works, the specifics of personal data that it is and isn’t collecting, and how it’s not as dystopian as it may sound.
They spoke on May 23rd, 2022.

For this episode we’re talking about the new movie Everything Everywhere All At Once, directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, also known as Daniels.
When it premiered at the South By Southwest Festival this spring, it was described as “a hilarious and big-hearted sci-fi action-adventure about an exhausted Chinese American woman who can’t seem to finish her taxes.”
Hong-Kong action star Michelle Yeoh plays that exhausted woman who, in struggling with a tax audit, gets taken on a wild journey through the multiverse.
Our youth film critics got together to talk about Everything Everywhere All At Once, how it uses maximalism to tell its story, its unique approach to the multiverse, and the legacy they hope the movie will have.

After her husband was stationed in Poznan, Poland, Delaney Clodfelter and their son moved there in 2021. They had no idea that they’d be moving to a country just next door to a brutal war.
When Ukrainian refugees began pouring into Poland, fleeing the Russian invasion, Clodfelter knew she had to help out. She began raising money to provide displaced Ukrainians with basic needs. Gaining funds locally and back in her hometown of Anchorage, she has since raised nearly thirty thousand dollars.
ATMI senior producer Daisy Carter spoke with Clodfleter about her efforts to aid Ukrainian refugees, stories from those who have escaped the violence brought on by Russia, and how her church in Poznan has provided a haven for those who’ve left their homeland.
They spoke on April 25th, 2022.
