Profiles in American Funded Research

In this episode I talk to Derese Getnet, the CEO of Simmbion (which is now called Chariot Biosciences and can be found here: https://www.chariot-bio.com/) about the project which is partially funded by the NSF entitled: "Living Pharmacy for Diabetes and Obesity Treatment". Derese explains how his company has developed a technique which may revolutionize the way we deploy medication.

In this episode I discuss the NSF project "RISE: Generalized dynamic frameworks for exploring ancient marine communities through time" with Dr. Greg Breed. We discuss the implications of ecological change, modeling and the fossil record all in the interest of getting an idea of what happened in ancient times. Greg also explains where his research funds have gone and how he got interested in science in the first place.
