I am beyond excited about this interview with Dr. Robert Langer! Bob shared his career path, the story behind the development of novel therapeutics for cancer and blindness, his work with many biotech companies (including Moderna), what it's like being in his lab, what he likes to do outside of science, and more. Bob is one of the most prominent scientists (220+ major awards) and most prolific inventors (1,000+ patents) in medicine. He was also impressively down-to-earth and friendly!

Hello everybody. Now I have a job posting up for a Research Technician to do all of the mouse neuroscience things. Re-toot s'il vous plaît. Here is the info: https://monell.org/research-technician-bolding-lab/
The chemical TCE and related chemicals like PCE have been used for a wide variety of purposes for many years, but evidence is mounting linking exposure to these chemicals with adverse health effects, including cancer and Parkinson's disease. I had a chance to speak with Dr. Sam Goldman about his recently published studies examining Parkinson's disease risk in veterans exposed to TCE at Camp Lejeune and also a cluster analysis investigating Parkinson's disease diagnoses in people who worked near a contaminated site.
