    When it comes to making change, art is one of the most powerful tools we have. It has the ability to start conversations, provide new perspectives and share stories in an accessible way.

    Which is exactly what over 100 people are doing as part of the Through Positive Eyes project, a wide-ranging collaboration that uses photography, video and personal interviews to share the realities of those living with HIV and AIDS in order to combat stigma around the disease.

    Dr. David Gere, the Founding Director of the UCLA Art & Global Health Center, will be talking more about this project and the impact art can have on our lives as part of the Bodies of Work: Art & Healing Exhibition being hosted by the Sun Valley Museum of Art. He joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

    GOP lawmakers introduced a new library bill into the Idaho Legislature this week that the Idaho Capital Sun says is a "combination" of previous bills that could restrict children’s access to some materials.

    And last week, we told you about a new survey that found that over half of all the librarians in Idaho are thinking about quitting their jobs because of bills like this.

    Our Morning Edition host George Prentice sat down with Huda Shaltry, a librarian at the Hillcrest Branch of the Boise library system, and Mary Dewalt, director of the Ada Community Library and vice president of the Idaho Library Association, to talk about how librarians are feeling.

    Last September, Idaho found quagga mussels along the Snake River in Eastern Idaho, particularly around Shoshone Falls. The mussels pose a big threat to the entire Columbia River basin because of the damage they can do to infrastructure, including irrigation, hydropower and drinking water equipment — destruction that could cost Idaho hundreds of millions of dollars per year.

    Idaho took quick action, killing thousands of fish after chemically treating more than six miles of the river and trying to get rid of the mussels.

    Meanwhile, another invasive snail was recently discovered in the largest Alpine Lake in our region. The Mountain West News Bureau’s Kaleb Roedel tagged along with researchers working to monitor – and control – the spread.

    Why one Idaho county is treating invasive weeds from the sky Feb 08, 2024

    When it comes to managing noxious weeds, it can be a time-consuming and sometimes hazardous job.

    Which is why officials over in Fremont County are taking a new approach, choosing to tackle the invasive plants from the sky instead of the ground.

    Steve Stuebner, writer and producer for Life on the Range, took a deep dive into this new method of treatment and how it's being used over in Eastern Idaho. He joined Idaho Matters, along with Chase Hirschi, the assistant weed manager for Fremont County and a drone pilot, to talk more about the practice.

    This winter, COVID-19 has surged nationally. The Idaho Statesman reports Idaho's COVID wastewater levels were the highest they'd been in two years.

    This comes after Idaho lawmakers rejected about 16 million dollars in federal grant money that would have helped pandemic response efforts, with a direct result being that Idaho's wastewater tracking dashboard likely has less data.

    Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St. Luke's Health System, joined Idaho Matters to help break all of this down.

    How cloud seeding could increase the amount of snowfall in Idaho Feb 07, 2024

    For about two decades, Idaho has been changing the weather through a process called cloud seeding. It gives clouds a boost to produce more precipitation like snow.

    Now, scientists here are researching a new way to seed clouds that could work better in a changing climate. Rachel Cohen reports.

    For the first 12 years of school, there are tests, cafeteria lunches and classes you may not want to take, but you learn something new every day and can feed your mind while making friends and feeling a sense of community.

    But after college, it can be hard to find a place where you can learn about new and interesting topics without re-enrolling in school.

    That’s what the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is for: it’s continuing education designed for folks 50 and older who are "intellectually curious” and still want to learn new things while making new friends.

    Steve Thaxton is the executive director of the National Resource Center that supports all the Osher programs around the country, including the one here in Boise, and he joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

    Idaho legislature has new school choice proposal: community schools Feb 06, 2024
    Show notes

    The Idaho Legislature has a new school choice proposal this year that would give out tax credits to parents who enroll their kids in private school.

    Some say this will take much-needed money away from public schools, especially in rural areas, and that there are other solutions to creating better school outcomes in Idaho.

    We’re taking a deep dive into school choice with conversations about how this would affect kids and parents, public and private schools, charter and religious schools, taxpayers and educators.

    School choice is a big issue, and we’re just starting to scratch the surface. So we asked Rep. Lauren Necochea (D-Boise), the house assistant democratic leader and the chair of the Idaho Democratic Party, to join Idaho Matters to talk more.

    Will Trump get the chance to run for president in 2024? Feb 06, 2024

    A Washington D.C. district court made a ruling in a case involving former President Donald Trump on Tuesday. The court said Trump does not have broad immunity from federal protection, according to NPR.

    And this Thursday, Feb. 8, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments over whether former president Donald Trump was part of an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, and if his name can be taken off the Colorado primary ballot. You can hear those arguments live on Boise State Public Radio Thursday morning, starting at 8 a.m.

    Trump is also facing a bill for more than $83 million after a judge and jury decided he had defamed E. Jean Carroll after calling her a liar for accusing him of sexual assault.

    And the constitution is also in the spotlight as the fight between the federal government and the state of Texas heats up over control of the nation’s border with Mexico.

    Dr. David Adler, the president of the Alturas Institute, joined Idaho Matters to help us break down these topics. He'll be hosting one of his Constitutional Conversations Thursday evening, Feb. 8, at the Yanke Center in Boise.
