Does all research get the chance to improve our lives? Unfortunately, pressures from institutions and investors are among the reasons research falls by the wayside, becoming a mere footnote, or decoration, on a researcher's CV (in the USA, the academic version of a résumé). Join us as Joseph B.V. Arrington, scientist, patented inventor, doctoral candidate, and co-host of this podcast, talks about some of the reasons research doesn't make its way to mainstream adoption.

This episode is the introduction of the new podcast "Where Science Meets Life." In it, hosts Jacob Rueda and Joseph Arrington introduce themselves and offer their perspectives and insights on science as well as talk about some of the issues in science and what listeners can expect in future episodes.
