Deeper Levels

Join me as I speak with three knowledgable, funny, and insightful Pathologists. We talk about their journeys into medicine and research, what is happening in the field now, and favorite things to do in their spare time.

Dr. Brittany Bankhead-­Kendall is an Assistant Professor of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery at Texas Tech University. We discuss her path to Surgery, doing a fellowship while Covid-19 hit the US, being a parent and physician, and the importance of being yourself at work (let the glitter fly!) An empowering show.

Join me as I speak with Drs. C. Matt Quick and Karen Talia. We talk about their journeys into medicine and Pathology with many detours, laughs, and great advice for those thinking of a career in this field! Read more about the episode by clicking here.

Season 2 Premiere with a special guest and friend, Josh Sommer. He is the founder of the Chordoma Foundation. We talk about his experiences with chordoma, creating the foundation - from cell lines to fundraising, and what's on the horizon for treatment and research. An inspiring listen!

A look back at 2020 with my friend and first guest! We also get into choosing Pathology as a career (the need to deeply understand things and flexibility play a role), how to get a good night's sleep, and why our news diets have changed.

Join me as I speak with Drs. Jennifer Bennett and Joe Rabban. We talk about their journeys into Pathology and cover a lot of ground, including community versus academic practice, an interest in science that began with a nuclear reactor, Aesop's fables, mentorship, and what one should look for in a Gyn Pathology fellowship.

I'm joined by Dr. Bryn Nelson, a microbiologist and scientific journalist who discusses his work covering HPV in the prison population, Covid-19, and the book he is working on concerning human waste, aptly titled Treasure in Wasteland.

I'm joined by Dr. Laura Wood, Associate Professor at Johns Hopkins. We were fellows at the same time at JHH. In this episode, we discuss her journey to loving science (orange juice is involved), what it's like to run her own lab (Covid makes an appearance), the importance of collaboration, and what to eat for lunch!

I'm joined by Drs. Lora Hedrick-Ellenson (Director, Gynecologic Pathology, Memorial Sloan Kettering), Glenn McCluggage (Consultant Histopathologist in Royal Group of Hospitals Trust, Belfast) and Dr. Fabiola Medeiros (Director, Gynecology, Placental and Perinatal Pathology, Cedars-Sinai).

I'm joined by my brother-in-law Dr. Josh Kim, and his co-author Dr. Edward Maloney to discuss their new book "The Low-Density University: 15 Scenarios for Higher Education." We discuss online education, working from home, and higher education in America.
