Dr. Rhode helps us to better understand what a Clinical Laboratory Scientist does, why they are so critical to healthcare delivery, and why it\u2019s so important to raise awareness of the profession, as well as the risks we face due to the shortage. Dr. Rohde tells us that a big part of who he is today is because he is trying to put a face on this critical function that happens entirely in the background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Rohde is not just an educator in academia. Throughout\nour conversation, and in everything he does, his goal is education. This is evident\nin each topic we discuss including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Airdropping vaccines to quell a canine rabies\nepidemic in Texas. <\/li><li>Raising awareness of Antimicrobial Resistance\n(AMR)<\/li><li>Using social media to combat misinformation (and\nwhy more scientists need to do this)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond all of this, Dr. Rohde is a founding member of TIPS. He was with us from the start and continues to be one of our most impactful board members. We\u2019re grateful for Dr. Rohde\u2019s contribution to TIPS and are thrilled to share his story with you today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Dr. Rodney E.
