About this episode
Innovative, new technologies are rapidly being introduced into the medical world, as scientists and inventors continually discover solutions to all kinds of health issues. However, comprehensive education in medical product development, business process and strategy is distinctly lacking for science students who aspire to become commercial medical innovators and entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurially minded professionals at the New York University Grossman School of Medicine developed, implemented, and integrated programs to train early scientists in the business side of science to accelerate the pace of commercialisation and encourage individuals to pursue venture creation and entrepreneurship to impact highly relevant healthcare solutions.

Dr. Rodica Gilca | When Winter Viruses Lost the Calendar
For decades, respiratory viruses seemed to follow a familiar seasonal script. As autumn cooled into winter, influenza returned, respiratory syncytial virus, better known as RSV, filled pediatric wards, and a collection of other viruses circulated alongside them. Hospitals could never predict the season perfectly, but experience provided a rough map of what was coming. Then COVID-19 arrived, and the map stopped matching the territory.
Prof. Dr. Winnie-Karen Giera | Learning to Argue: How Debate, Planning and Strategy Can Build Better Writers
What happens between having an opinion and writing a convincing argument? For many teenagers, the distance is surprisingly large. A student may argue energetically with friends, spot weaknesses in someone else’s reasoning, and explain why a rule seems unfair, yet struggle when asked to turn those abilities into a formal essay. On the page, there is no opponent waiting to respond and no immediate question demanding clarification. The writer has to create that dialogue alone.
Dr. Kendra Pugh | Mapping the Hidden Geography of Gambling Risk
A lottery ticket is small enough to slip into a pocket, but the forces that shape gambling behavior can stretch across families, neighborhoods, shopping districts, and entire communities. A Massachusetts study led by Dr. Kendra Pugh asks an important but deceptively simple question: when gambling becomes risky or problematic, how much depends on the person, and how much depends on the place?
Dr. Shimaa Ghazal | Reading the Mosquito: What Two New Genomes Can Tell Us About Malaria
A mosquito’s whine is easy to dismiss as a minor irritation. Yet some mosquitoes carry one of humanity’s oldest and deadliest diseases. Malaria is caused by microscopic Plasmodium parasites, but those parasites depend on Anopheles mosquitoes to move from one human host to another. Understanding the mosquito, therefore, is an important part of understanding the disease. Every new genetic reference gives researchers another way to investigate what makes these insects effective vectors, how populations differ, and how their biology may shape transmission. Two recent genome announcements involving Dr. Shimaa Ghazal and student researchers at Phillips Exeter Academy add new genetic resources for studying two particularly important malaria vectors: Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles stephensi.
