In this episode of CNTV News, Brad Clonch and Quin Tran meet with Chief of Research and Public Health, Dr. Daniel Molina, and discuss one of his recent achievements: completing his tenth Ironman Triathlon, an event that requires participants to swim, bike and run over 140 miles in a day. He shares his motivation for overcoming such a difficult challenge, the trials one faces during the event and what inspires him to continue the labor-intensive training regimen.

Next month, March 14-18, visit the Three Sisters Celebration. Held at the Chickasaw Cultural Center, the Three Sisters Celebration heralds the beginning of the planting season. It also recognizes the importance of the Three Sisters crops—beans, corn and squash—three vital plants that grow well together.

Lastly, Quin Tran talks to the second of two recipients of the Enel North America scholarship for Chickasaw STEM students. Hank Snyder is a geoscience student at Texas A&M. He is passionate about engineering and renewable resources, and he credits the Chickasaw Nation for helping him throughout his academic career, from the scholarship itself to even providing him with hearing aids as a young student. And though he is far from Ada, he says he still feels embraced and supported by the Chickasaw Nation.
