BUILD's Voter Sign-Up Drive; Touch & Emotions; Rousuck's Review: "Sweat;" Hospital Patient Safety

buildiaf.org

Today we’ll talk about the city-wide voter registration drive that “BUILD” launched last October.  The Rev. Glenna Huber and The Rev. Andrew Foster Connors are the co-chairs of Baltimoreans United in Leadership Development; they join Tom in a discussion of how their coalition of clergy and citizens has been working to get people added to the rolls, and-- by promoting a progressive economic and social development agenda --giving Baltimorians more reasons to vote. 

Then, neuroscientist and author David Linden discusses his latest book, Touch: The Science of Hand, Heart and Mind, which explores the surprisingly complex emotional connections we have with our sense of touch.

Plus, Dr. Peter Pronovost, director of Johns Hopkins’s Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality, describes how a tragic error led to innovative new hospital procedures that are helping to reduce medical mistakes, and save patients' lives.

And our theater critic, J. Wynn Rousuck, has a review of Sweat, the powerful new drama at Washington's Arena Stage.
