Putting a Face on Clinical Laboratory Sciences w/ Dr. Rodney Rohde
On this episode we talk with Dr. Rodney Rohde, a Regents’ Professor at Texas State University, and the University Distinguished Chair and Professor for Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS). Dr. Rhode helps us to better understand what a Clinical Laboratory Scientist does, why they are so critical to healthcare delivery, and why it’s so important to raise awareness of the profession, as well as the risks we face due to the shortage.
The Future of Hand Washing with Max Simonovsky
On this episode, we talk with Max Simonovsky, Founder & CEO of Soapy.
Max founded Soapy after an interaction with his young child regarding handwashing. It got him thinking about how environmental triggers and our perceptions of them can impact our behaviors. He followed that thread, and it became Soapy.
Soapy’s hand-washing technology educates, validates, and modifies behavior. In the field, Soapy technology has been used to increase hand-wash adherence by up to 98%. Adherence paired with proper technique, which Soapy also teaches, has a chance to significantly reduce hospital-associated infections (HAIs).
We Have the Tools but We’re Not Using Them – Dr. Deborah Birx

Had they not seen it, or decided not to pull, our modern human experience would have been drastically different.

Making the Invisible, Visible: Monitoring Air and Surfaces for Pathogens with Elizabeth Caley and Sam Molyneux of Poppy
On this episode, we talk with EC and Sam, Co-founders, and Co-CEOs of Poppy, about the importance of understanding indoor air quality. This, of course, is tremendously important and obvious during the COVID-19 pandemic (especially with the growing evidence that SARS-CoV-2 may be primarily transmitted by aerosols). However, it has always been this important and always will be. We spend much of our time indoors and the quality of those spaces has a dramatic impact on our health and wellbeing. We get into the why, the science and technology (which is fascinating), the potential for impact and scale (which is tremendous), and more
