Would you believe it if we told you this interviewee met President Obama because of science? Tune in to find out! On this week's episode of the ChemTalk podcast, hosts Scott Gietler, Lawton Long, and Rylie Maziek interview Dr. Michelle O'Malley, a Professor of Chemistry at UC Santa Barbara. Dr. O'Malley speaks about her research on biomaterials, her education, and what it's like to be a professor. Dr. O'Malley's lab studies how proteins are synthesized, but approaches the mystery as both a biologist and an engineer.

Science should be an unbiased agent of good. It is rigorous, methodical, and systematic. Yet, it still brings controversy and mystery; Misinformation can spread like wildfire; Scientists can be ignored. Dr. Joe Schwarcz, the Director of McGill University’s Office for Science and Society, is an expert in separating sense from nonsense. On this exciting episode of Let’s Talk Chemistry edited by Emma Stewart, hosts Jasmine Winter and John Strojny talk about our interview with Dr. Schwarcz. He touches upon vaccine hesitancy, fact-checking, and effective scientific communication. If you would like to learn more about Dr. Joe Schwarcz, you can reach him by email at [email protected]
