Description
Now more than ever, it’s essential to engage the public in the work of biomedical engineers, especially those advancing science and medicine from within universities.
To help bridge that gap, BMES has launched a new podcast platform that takes listeners inside the world of biomedical engineering, from the day-to-day lives of researchers to the long-term innovations shaping the future of healthcare.
Office Hours with Liz Wayne is the first show, hosted by Dr. Liz Wayne, Assistant Professor at the University of Washington. Tune in as Dr. Wayne explores some of the most pressing topics in science and medicine, breaking them down in thoughtful, accessible conversations.
