  • Prof Thomas McDade, Covid-19 Testing Research

    Professor Thomas McDade is a professor of Biological Anthropology. He’s also a faculty fellow at the institute for policy research, and director of the laboratory for human biology research. With a group of collaborators, he created a Covid-19 at home test kit that uses dried blood on filter paper from a finger prick. This kit is then shipped from the user's home to the lab to determine if the person has had exposure to the Sars-CoV-2 virus.

  • Prof Ermin Wei, Algorithm Research

    For this episode, I interview a very impressive researcher at the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern University. Talking to Professor Ermin Wei, we touch on a variety of very technical topics like household robotics and algorithms used to make our electric grid more efficient. We spent most of the conversation talking about algorithms in general, her area of vast expertise. Hope you enjoy this episode.
