The Deonandia Podcast

This is part 4 of 4 brief podcasts recorded on location in Guyana, all about development issues affecting that country.  This one is about 12 minutes long and was recorded in a “hotel” room in Bartica.  I put quotation marks around the word “hotel” because I want to make it clear that these aren’t exactly […]

This is part 3 of 4 brief podcasts recorded on location in Guyana, all about development issues affecting that country.   This one is about 12 minutes long and was recorded in the AmerIndian community of Capoey in the Essequibo area of Guyana. If you missed them, check out parts 1, 2 and 4.

This is part 2 of 4 brief podcasts recorded on location in Guyana, all about development issues affecting that country.  This is one is 15 minutes long and was recorded in the AmerIndian village of Capoey.  Sound quality is pretty good, for a change.  In fact, you can hear the glorious sounds of tropical nature […]

This is part 1 of 4 brief podcasts recorded on location in Guyana, all about development issues plaguing that country.  This one is 6 minutes long.  I apologize for the sound quality.  It was recorded on a pier over lake Capoey, and the sound of whipping wind is playing havoc with the microphone. When you’re […]

On March 29, 2014, I gave a presentation to attendees of the 2014 University of Ottawa Health Symposium, which are mostly health sciences and biological sciences students.  The lecture was misnamed, “Do What You Love, Love What You Do,” which is something I do not believe in. The audio is actually of not bad quality, which is a […]

On March 27, 2014, graduate student Kahina Abdesselam graciously gave a guest lecture to my 4th year Epidemiology class on the topic of, “The Challenges Faced in Methodology and Topology in Sexual Network Analysis: RDS Estimators and Small World Structure.” A PDF of her slides is available here. The audio was recorded crappily on my phone […]

This is a live lecture that I gave to the graduate students of the Interdisciplinary School of Health Sciences at the University of Ottawa, on March 18, 2014, on the topic of career planning for health sciences students. The audio is pretty crappy (again, sorry).  But if you’re interested, the slides from the presentation are available here.  Please […]

On March 11, 2014, I gave a presentation to the graduate students of the Interdisciplinary School of Health Sciences on the topic of the ethics of reproductive tourism.  The slides from the presentation are here, though do note that the contents of the slides are proprietary and cannot be shared without my permission or attribution.

This is a live lecture (from Feb 28, 2014) given by me (Dr Raywat Deonandan… in case you don’t know what site you’re on) at the Elizabeth Bruyere Hospital in Ottawa, on the topic of global population health indicators. The audience consisted of family medicine residents. The audio is absolute shite.  But that’s what you get. […]

On  Jan 25, 2014, I had a great conversation with two impressive scholars, Dr Graham Sanders and Dr Aparna Halpé, lubricated by unspeakable amounts of alcohol. The topic of conversation was educational reform. I was still experimenting with my audio recording equipment, so sometimes the voices get warbly.  I made the mistake of live streaming […]
