Innovation Overground: Actual things

Innovation Overground ·

2018/11/26

The Overground takes a moment to discuss an example of what Universities should aspire to: Creating actual things that touch people’s lives. Jonathan Vennerstrom, Ph.D., invented a new formulation for malaria drugs that will dramatically improve access to medicines…prevent the world's leading cause of death for children.

2018/11/12

A great invention can come from anywhere, and sometimes not on purpose. As the wise and powerful Bob Ross once said: “There are no mistakes in this world, only happy accidents.” The Overground crew uses a variety of inspirational quotes—spolier: “Anyone can cook!”— to address how inventors often back into their best inventions; and how the best inventions often come when not trying to invent anything at all.

The internet has made education a little weird. Barriers of distance and resources are crumbling around us. So, if anyone can learn to be a mechanic or a therapist or a surgeon, then how do you know who to trust? The Overground crew discusses E-learning and how the internet is dragging the University of Nebraska into the 21st century.

The Overground welcomes its first-ever guest: Dr. Michael Dixon. He tells the tale of Creatine Ethyl Ester—an actual thing, actually produced in Nebraska that you can buy from a store shelf...today. Yay! Michael tells how the University had to use its intellectual property to ensure knock-offs and unsafe products were removed from the market.

When they asked you when Innovation Overground finally figured itself out you tell them, "Episode 14." The Overground crew uses its newfound charisma and chemistry to dissect Charlie’s beef with his brother’s boss... with a rollicking discussion of inventorship and authorship. This is the first episode of a brand-new era. Oh, and that’s right, its "share" not "sure." Featured Technology: WeChart https://www.unemed.com/blog/capstone-drives-innovations Hosts: Charlie Litton

Innovation Overground: Picking winners

Innovation Overground ·

2018/10/15

The market wants what the market wants. The trick to picking winners from losers in technology transfer is to let the market pick them for you. The Overground crew discuss the surprising results of selling inventions – even the ones that don’t seem sell-able.

Innovation Overground: Biomechanics is the future

Innovation Overground ·

2018/10/01

Biomechanics is the next big thing. Skeptical? How about using biomechanics to make affordable 3D-printed prosthetics for children. Or what about using biomechanics to revolutionize the world’s fifth leading cause of death. Still skeptical? Fine. We also have an exploding shoe.
