On the House: The Household Management Science Insights Podcast (LMSL)

When it comes to the environment, aviation, fast fashion, and food waste typically join the usual suspects in conversations, but less frequently discussed are the effects of the average laundry routine. So, this week on On the House: The Household Management Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella consults biological sciences professor Judith Weis to learn more.

Based at Rutgers University in Newark, Judith Weis is a Professor Emerita of Biological Sciences, with over 300 refereed scientific papers and marine biology books to her name. Particularly interested in stresses in estuaries and their effects on organisms, populations and communities, Judith Weis sits on the editorial board for BioScience and has been on the advisory committees for various boards. 

In this episode, Judith Weis reveals that the first laws involving microplastics forbade the use of them in cosmetics, and that currently, a major source of microplastics derives from the tiny fibres in synthetic clothing. She highlights that, while the broader ecological impacts of microplastics have not been clearly established, they have been found within human bodies.

Together, Marie and Judith Weis weigh up various ways to reduce microplastic shedding during laundry without tossing our already-owned synthetic fabrics. So, tune in this week for expert insights on the best environmentally friendly laundry practices to exercise at home!

Housing is a basic human need, yet a lack of affordable housing perpetuates a housing crisis affecting over a billion people worldwide.

The air we breathe has more of an impact on our health and well-being than you might think. In this episode of On the House, host Marie Stella is joined by construction management lecturer Mary Myla Andamon to explore practical ways to improve the quality of air at home.

Prior to joining RMIT University as a lecturer, Mary Myla Andamon served as project coordinator and sustainability researcher in an Adelaide- and Sydney-based architectural practice specializing in shopping center planning and design, as well as commercial retail architecture. Currently, she is working on a number of research projects based on monitoring and evaluating indoor environmental quality, building thermal performance and energy efficiency and assessment of urban microclimates.

In this episode, Mary Myla Andamon sheds light on the various factors that affect air circulation, and why it is so important to ensure sufficient ventilation at home. She elaborates on basic, easy-to-practice habits that contribute massively to air circulation, from using the kitchen rangehood when cooking, to switching on the bathroom exhaust fan at least a few minutes before each shower.

At present, millions of people still face hunger and malnutrition, while the effects of climate change threaten agricultural productivity, and so, food security remains an urgent concern. So, this week on On the House: The Household Management Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella speaks to research scientist Graham Lyons to learn more about the threats we face in food security, and what we can do about it from our homes.

Based in South Australia, Graham Lyons also serves as the international agriculture and human health program manager at the University of Adelaide. His career in agriculture took root in family farms that he managed until 1997. Graham Lyons then went on to study public health, and completed a PhD on selenium in wheat and humans in 2004. Since then, he has worked across the globe, from China and Tibet, to East Africa and Colombia. 

In this episode, Graham Lyons starts out by describing food security as the provision of adequate food and nutrition into the foreseeable future. He then cites a decline in fertility from the 1930s onwards as an indicator of food insecurity taking place, combined with other factors.

Together, Marie and Graham Lyons weigh up various facets of gardening sustainability at home, from mulching, integrating pest-management plants, and inorganic fertilizers, to composting and kitchen waste. So, tune in this week for an eye-opening conversation about tackling food insecurity in our households!

Between work, kids, keeping active, and (occasional) socializing, who has time to be at home to accept a package? Or sit around at home waiting for the plumber to finally show up?

On this episode of On the House: The Household Management Science Insights Podcast, host Gabriella is joined by Louise Dunham, the CEO of Placement Solutions, Just Family Payroll Pty. Ltd., and Nurture Training College. Louisa had the great honor of being on the APNA awards committee and giving Barbara Kline of White House Nannies in Washington, DC, the 2019 Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2018, Louise won two prestigious awards from the Association of Premier Nanny Agencies, based in the United States. The first award was for leadership, presented to Louise for her 31 years of leading the industry and encouraging them to do better. The second was for Excellence as an Agency. This honor is particularly noted because it is the first time 2 awards have been won by one Agency in the same year, and it is the first time the award has been presented to a non-American Agency. In 2017, Louise published a book called The State Of The Nanny, a definitive look at this sector of the childcare industry. Louise was VP of the INA (International Nanny Association based in America). She chaired the Ethics Committee from 2012 until early 2017 and was the first non-American on the board. Gabriella starts this conversation by getting to know Louise’s favorite food and a recent book she has read before talking about the division of housework and how household managers can help in any home.

Gabriella and Louise also discuss three good things about dividing housework practices so that everyone can organize their homes well.

Sustainable cooking isn’t just about saving the planet; it’s about savoring every morsel with intentionality. This week on On the House: The Household Management Science Insights Podcast, host Gabriella Jourstra picks the brain of Tammara Soma, an assistant professor at Simon Fraser University’s School of Resource and Environmental Management.

With a research focus on food system planning, community-based research, waste management, and the circular economy, Tammara’s expertise transcends academia, making waves in media outlets such as the BBC, Huffington Post, and the like. Her extensive research, publications, and prestigious awards underscore her commitment to reshaping public perception of food consumption and waste management on a global scale.

In this episode, Tammara Soma asserts that through efficient meal planning, embracing seasonal and local ingredients, and making the most of every part of our food, we are able to nourish ourselves while reducing ecological footprint.

She illustrates the rising concept of ‘zero-waste cooking’, pointing to easily adoptable habits like reusing food scraps, reusable containers, and smaller portions as viable ways to implement it in our daily lives. Tammara Soma also reveals that she doesn’t peel her vegetables, not out of neglect, but to reduce waste and boost nutrients.

Together, Gabriella and Tammara Soma explore the intersection between technology and sustainable cooking, from traditional preservation methods like canning and freezing, to cutting-edge solutions that optimize efficiency and minimize waste.

So, grab your aprons and tune in for a culinary adventure that not only tickles the taste buds, but also nurtures the planet!
