Okay. What happens is you get to bed and something is happening cognitively and you're like, I need something to switch me off melatonin is I use it every night to go to sleep and or I wake up in the middle of the night, can't go back to sleep, I
bleed a bit, or it changes over time. So this trial then was looking at people who had what's called high- risk melanoma. Uh it was what's called a phase three trial. So quite advanced down the route of testing this new drug. And it involved more than a thousand patients who had this high-risk stage two, three or four melanomas, meaning
OK. So Lauren Kiana of house Palmer, first of her name, muse of the millennials, commander of her craft, melanin magnificence, teller of truths, creator of paths for our community, builder of Black excellence, consummate entertainer, keeper of the bag-- Oh.
I was born with a genetic condition called albinism and, basically, albinism means that my body does not produce melanin, which is pigmentation. So when you look at me, for those who can see me-- if you're on audio, sorry, but I'll describe my best.
Today I'll be talking with Melanie Parker, and she is chief diversity officer of Google. I love her to death. Melanie, come on out here. Beautiful. Let's talk. Hi, Erica. Nice to be here.
Julian got distracted en route by three lambs gambling in a makeshift chicken wire pen. Melanoma, Ted answered. I have to go into Iowa City. This remark was mumbled in a distracted way, as he was getting a voice call, faintly and tinnily audible to them on the flip-up earplugs cantilevered out
So that's one of our differentiators. Melanie can talk a little bit more about the human connection element here. Yeah. So during those outreach drives, kind of like Neal mentioned, something that I think I've never experienced anywhere else, was going beyond just putting together the care packages,
And you've also got sort of caffeine. melatonin is a natural hormone, as we saw.
caused by six hours of sleep. Melatonin helps time the onset of sleep, but it doesn't help in the creation of sleep itself.
caused by six hours of sleep. Melatonin gathers all of the racers to the starting line and begins the race, but that official themselves does not participate in the great sleep race itself.

directly like that but this is how this is the trigger is cortisol melatonin what in the world does this have to do with fat loss this is fascinating we're at Google you guys are nerds too and I dig that I'm a super nerd so I'm looking at Medical journals so in the journal the uh Journal of
cortisol or melatonin according to research but at night every hour of use leads to 30 hours of suppressed melatonin okay every hour of use 30 minutes of suppressed melatonin so this is brings up the situation where you can physiologically be passed out you can just go to sleep from exhaustion but you're not actually getting optimal
off the lights and everything is dark then the pineal gland injects a little bit of melatonin into the bloodstream and you feel very sleep okay now when you have a jet lag what happens is your sleep wake cycle which
And I don't think we're tracking how many pounds people have actually lost. Melanie is here, our CEO.
External pressure. Melanie, so your character is one who doesn't necessarily have imposter syndrome. She knows what she's doing but isn't really, at least in the first episode, hasn't been given the chance to kind of show her stuff.
If not, I'm going to-- so we're going to do today, we're going to do kadaifi-wrapped shrimp on a eggplant caviar, melanzane with marinated tomatoes. And what I want to focus on today a little bit is the eggplant caviar.
Melanoma, the lethal skin cancer everybody is afraid of, always always develops in the places that have not been exposed to the sun.

melanoma so if that's the case in melanoma what might be the biological uh features that would distinguish a young
melanoma so again when we start to take a look at these big epidemiologic Trends and put data from thousands and
melanoma specifically how do we move from biology like that to treatment so I mentioned before one of
melanoma we based hos 2 with this vague idea that maybe the immune system could be active in treating cancers like
melanoma so how might it work well it's right here um you can see at the top we

melanoma um and each of the lines is an individual patient so the zero of the dash line would be if you took the

Okay. What happens is you get to bed and something is happening cognitively and you're like, I need something to switch me off So melatonin probably has more evidence than the rest of these things combined because it's a medicine. It's a drug.

Like I said, we're a support organization, which doesn't mean that we don't want to see the impact down the line. So Melanie, you want to talk about the next one? Yeah. So mobile outreach IDs in collaboration with Health.
We're trying to leverage technology in ways other nonprofits have not been able to. Both Melanie and I come from consulting business backgrounds, so we're trying to use some of our methodologies and some of our knowledge from the private sector and apply it to the nonprofit work that we're doing.
I think, Sarah, you had some questions. Like Melanie was saying, the research is years old.
Your melatonin is actually still going.
And melatonin increases neurogenesis.
So Melanie Moore's advice in the book, and I'm echoing that, is to build a business with customers, try and go around these obstacles.

entirely person specific and even beyond that it's tumor specific. So if somebody develops a second melanoma, this wouldn't work on that second melanoma. So it's really about that cancer. It's it's super personalized therapy where you know what works for one person
of course and creates hurdles around manufacturing and distribution. Here's Dr. Ryan Sullivan, director at the Center for Melanoma at Mass General Bighgam Cancer Institute. You know, it's not trivial to make thousands of vaccines that are personalized. You have you like when
