Thank you for joining Spencer and Ricardo again for another intriguing conversation. Ricardo is a Veteran NASA Engineer and Manager, and we always enjoy having him on.   

We are living is a unique time in history. COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on global supply chain, and it is making it difficult for companies, labs, and agencies to acquire supplies which would normally be no problem to get.   

One supply which is in short demand is microchips. Not even NASA is safe from the consequences. In this episode, NASA Program Manager Ricardo Olivarez gives a one-of-a-kind inside account of what it is like trying to secure a chip that is in limited production. Please comment if this effects you as well.
