#S2:E6 — Paul K. Wallace of the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center was one of the first clinical cytometrists. He has had a huge influence on the field of flow cytometry, particularly in developing assays to track immune function. In this engaging episode of Flow Stars, Paul chats to Peter O’Toole about his early ambitions to become a vet, the importance of education and training in flow cytometry, and how his role has led him all over the world. We also discover what’s Paul’s favorite foods are (tip: don’t serve him liver!), whom from history he’d most like to meet, and what he’s got planned for retirement.

#S2:E3 — Kylie Price is the Head of Research Technology at the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research in New Zealand and current Secretary of ISAC. She is a tireless proponent of the benefits of cytometry and of improving science and technology in New Zealand. She’s also pretty tireless in general, it turns out, as we discover in this episode of Flow Stars.

Whether it’s introducing her children to the wonders of the natural world, climbing, diving, horse-riding, or beekeeping, Kylie’s passion is evident in abundance. We learn more about how she got into cytometry, and her passion for conservation and science outreach, as well as how her energy and enthusiasm have led to the establishment of several philanthropic partnerships, all of which continue to benefit science.
