Episode 12: Fluorescence Guided Surgery with Dr. Christie Lin
05/25/21 • 54 min
In this episode, we talk about ways in which light-matter interactions are revolutionizing surgery. We are joined by Christie Lin, VP of Research at OnLume - a startup based in Madison WI dedicated to improving patient outcomes through innovations in Fluorescence Guided Surgery (FGS). Christie prompts us to revisit some of our favorite topics, including SWIR fluorophores and gamma rays, and she also introduces us to regulatory policy for combination drug and medical devices! The results of our first ever Twitter poll are announced, and we finally answer a question that has been vexing us since Episode 1: How DO you focus a proton beam? The answer might leave you speechless.

Episode 11: Statistical Mechanics with Prof. Katja Lindenberg
We're unbelievably honored and excited to have the legendary Prof. Katja Lindenberg on the show to take us through her life in physics and physical chemistry. We talk to Prof. Lindenberg about her early life and education, her transition from mathematics to physics, and of course her incredible 50 year career at UCSD, during which she used "the language of science" (statistical mechanics) to describe problems involving random processes in nearly every discipline you could possibly imagine. We also get to hear a few stories about some of her first friends and mentors at UCSD, Maria Goeppert Mayer and her husband Joe Mayer!

New season, new format - we broadcast in-person from a hot tub in Atlanta during the Fall 2021 ACS Meeting!

And by "review" we really mean talk about how amazing this album is.
