The LabOpp Global Leaders podcast is a series of conversations about Careers, the Lab Industry, Training, and People.

In this episode, I was pleased to interview Shadrack Were from Kenya. Shadrack guides us through a journey from mouth pipetting, and manual CD4 counts to current day technology and the interchangeable roles more current technology is making possible. He shares key lessons for those in the field and several warnings, which should be strongly considered if you intend to pursue a future in the lab.

Shadrack is well known to many in PEPFAR supported countries. He has been your trainer in a multitude of areas and is well respected for the contributions he had personally made to so many.
