In the inaugural episode of “Behind Our Science,” we embark on an enlightening journey that both introduces our dedicated team and dives deep into the captivating world of vaccines.
A Warm Introduction Our premiere episode, “Meet The Team”, serves as the perfect gateway into the universe of ‘Behind Our Science’. You’ll get acquainted with the passionate individuals steering this ship, their backgrounds, and the unique perspectives they bring to the table.
- Roberto Mota Alvidrez: Serving as a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh, Roberto brings a wealth of knowledge and academic rigor to the team. His dedication to unearthing new findings and educating the public is truly inspiring.
- Daisy Shu: As a postdoctoral researcher at the esteemed Harvard Medical School, specifically at the Schepens Eye Research Institute of Mass Eye and Ear, Daisy’s expertise and commitment to advancing medical science are pivotal to our show’s integrity and depth.
- Marina Anastasiou: Embarking on her academic journey, Marina, a PhD student at Tufts University, offers fresh perspectives and an undying enthusiasm for discovery. Her youthful vigor and innovative thoughts are a testament to the future of scientific research.
The paths of Roberto, Daisy, and Marina first converged through the American Society of Investigative Pathology (ASIP). With each immersed in their unique scientific pursuits, a shared interest in investigative pathology drew them together. What began as spirited discussions soon blossomed into a deeper collaboration. Recognizing their collective passion and diverse expertise, ASIP became an instrumental supporter in the inception of “Behind Our Science.” Further bolstered by backing from the Histochemical Society, the podcast was born, reflecting a union of innovative minds and the vision of two esteemed organizations.
