Welcome to another episode of Under the Microscope with Scintica. On this episode, we have two special guests, Dr. Ben Rush & Dr. Jevin Lortie.

Dr.Jevin Lortie is currently conducting post-doctoral research at the University of Wisconsin - Madison in the Nutritional Sciences Department. He grew up in the Chicago, Illinois area. He was first introduced to science by experimenting with cooking and baking. His current research involves muscle imaging, gut microbiome, and heart failure.

Dr. Ben Rush attended Indiana University Bloomington for his undergrad and masters in public health, where he served as a graduate student researcher. He served two years with the American corps as a personal chef. He later returned to graduate school to obtain his Ph.D. in nutritional sciences where he studied how various body composition and bio-imaging methods can capture muscle quality with the goal to use those methods in lung cancer and aging intervention.

Ben is also the founder of the Deeper than Data Podcast where he explores the personal journeys, failures, and successes of scientists through storytelling and humor. Listen to the Deeper than Data Podcast: https://deeperthandata.media/
