2019/04/29

Stronger than steel. More conductive than copper. Able to flex around corners with a single strand. Yes, it’s graphene, the super-material that can power optical detectors, make nanoparticle drug delivery systems. Tyler Scheer, mild-mannered scientist in the great field of technology transfer, describes the University of Florida’s never-ending fight for truth, justice and the graphene way. And now, another exciting episode in the adventures of Innovation Overground! Featured

Did your life go exactly as planned? The Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM) is a trade group of technology transfer professionals that trains scientists and lawyers to do all the things discussed on the Overground. The Overground discusses how they ended up in this hybrid career; the difficulties of subverting career expectation; and seductive pull of transferring technology.

Innovation Overground: Toiling in billionaire data mines

Innovation Overground ·

2019/03/25

We ask a lot of our listeners, but trust us, stay with us on this one. Either billionaires are going to own all the data, or we all are. Tyler's gift for analogy goes into fifth gear as he cracks open the book of life...and looks at the pictures? The Overground wrestles with difficult questions about what can be done with bioinformatics data; who owns it; and what it means to be a healthy human.

The next generation internet-of-things/augmented-reality/blender-resistant-cellphone-network ain’t going to make itself, people! If 5G is going to change everything—and it might definitely maybe—then there’s still a lot of stuff to figure out, and universities are leading the way. Joe goes on a tour of fascinating university technologies that will help blaze the 5G trail, and Charlie combats foreign intelligence with amateur dermatology. Featured Technology:

Humanity went 200,000 years without genetically modifying a baby. Then some knucklehead went ahead and did it in 2018. Tyler perp-walks the baby-modifying science hooligans to the Overground firing squad. Joe adds how the original CRISPR patents are made commercially available by their respective institutions, as well as the therapeutic applications of the UNMC-co-invented EASI-CRISPR.

Innovation Overground ·

2019/01/21

Set your minds for blown as Joe leads the Overground through the latest on quantum computing and something involving a cat in a meow-proof box. Also, if no one listens to a quantum podcast, then the podcast both exists and doesn’t exist at the same time...unless there’s a dead cat in a box? You should probably just listen to this one for yourself. Featured Technologies: https://techlaunch.arizona.edu/news/tech-blog-college-engineering-faculty-advance-world-quantum-computing;

Live! From the llama pit at the Wylie Park Zoo in beautiful Aberdeen, South Dakota, (in spirit) the Overground crew explains why the flu vaccine only works 30% of the time. Tyler explains how sneaky the flu really is, how a new invention from the University of South Dakota may make a better vaccine and why llama’s don’t get the flu, but if they do...

Happy birthday Bayh-Dole! The Overground crew celebrates the law that created university technology transfer and closes out 2018 with hard hitting questions: Why are we so fat? Can technology change our daily behavior? When do the things we do become our legacies? Is that robot inside you doing surgery? Thank you to everyone who listened in Overground’s freshman year. We left our yearbook in our locker so you’ll just have to come find us again next year. Featured Technology:

The obvious common thread between batteries and English muffins is, of course, contact lenses. An unusually high-energy Joe unravels that mystery after whining about battery chemistry and how it basically remains unchanged from Thomas Edison's ideas more than 100 years ago.

Innovation Overground: Bacterial Dilemma

Innovation Overground ·

2018/12/03

We live in a brief moment where bacterial infections do not routinely kill people...which is coming to a close. Each day, the medicines we use to treat bacterial infection are getting a little less effective and there are not enough new drugs coming to market. The Overground crew discuss a technology that uses viruses to kill bacterial infections, and the hard choices that confront new technologies throughout the world. Featured Technology: Phage Lysins
