In this Episode: Elaine, John and Yannii are back with a very important topic. The world has changed as we know it. Our news headlines, our conversations, our thoughts are all centred around the one entity - that is COVID-19. We come prepared as best as we can with the latest information from the WHO, Australian government and other professionals. Disclaimer: We are not experts. In this trying time, we hope to bring some light into the situation and encourage you all to do your own research and stay safe! Our statistics and research are as accurate to the date of Wed 18/3/2020 at approximately 1:02pm. These are the resources mentioned in the podcast; WHO.int, ‘Why outbreaks like coronavirus spread exponentially, and how to “flatten the curve”’ by Harry Stevens in the Washington Post, OurWorldInData.Org for the Flatten the Curve graph, type in ‘Dr Michael J Ryan speech’ in google, and finally The Australian Government’s National coronavirus helpline is 1800 020 080. Be alert, but not anxious. Stay safe, stay golden and stay informed.
In this Episode: Elaine and John sit down and chat to a very special guest - Mr Calvin Wong, the AUDSS President for 2020. We talk about his first impressions of Adelaide, how he came to sit on the presidential throne and of course what his interests are outside of dentistry. We have a laugh with this one so we hope you do too!
Welcome to the Al Dente Podcast - a podcast hosted by three dental students who are sick of talking about teeth, but can’t help bringing it up anyway. In this episode, fourth year students and Adelaide University Dental Students Society committee members Elaine Yu, John Bouras and Yannii Pouferis introduce themselves. We talk about how we got to thinking a podcast would be a good idea, as well as what’s to come in future episodes. All we want is to have a little fun, don’t take us too seriously! Stay tuned, this is only the beginning.
A big thanks to Chris Wheate, our sound guy, who has masterfully created the intro and outro, as well as somehow manage to make an iPhone Voice Memo recording sound semi-decent. Thanks also to Andreas Ktoris, for getting this podcast out to you listeners (if there are any). Please excuse the poor grammar/vocabulary (@ElaineYu was meant to say *NOT attest* to Melbourne being better than Sydney), awkward ums and table-tapping (@JohnBouras, he’s too excited for this podcast). Hopefully, we will get better as time goes on…
