As the youngest of my dad’s side of the family, I have always looked up to my older cousins. But physical distance and the age gap between myself and my cousin,Tony, discouraged me from asking him details about what he does for a living. That’s why this interview was particularly exciting for me! Tune in as Dr. Anthony Ham tells his baby cousin what it’s like to be a biomedical engineer. We talk about why he chose the field of engineering, what the process of making drugs into medicine looks like, his work in finding solutions and treatments for diseases like AIDS, and even the current climate within the industry concerning COVID-19.
