From cutting-edge electrolysis tech to top sustainability awards, this episode dives into Bondalti’s strides in innovation, growth, and community commitment.

In Episode 62, I interviewed two Reuters journalists about how industry and government in the United States use conservation easements to avoid rigorous cleanup of contaminated sites. Today, one of those journalists, Jaimi Dowdell, is back to discuss how a federal agency responsible for community health assessments has a history of failing to protect the communities that seek its aid. Jaimi was part of the Reuters team that won the 2021 Pulitzer Prize in Explanatory Reporting. Today we discuss the

Ciprofloxacin—once hailed as a miracle of modern medicine—takes center stage in this expansive episode of The Deep Dive. We trace its journey from its roots in the quinolone family to its transformation into a potent fluoroquinolone following a key molecular tweak: a single fluorine atom. Developed by Bayer and launched in 1987, Cipro rapidly became a staple in the fight against infections ranging from UTIs and skin infections to anthrax and plague. We explore its versatility in

In this Deep Dive, we unravel the intricate story of Levofloxacin, a third-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic with a sweeping medical profile and a regulatory history to match. Originally patented in 1987 and approved by the FDA in 1996, Levofloxacin quickly became a go-to option for serious bacterial infections like pneumonia, prostatitis, skin infections, and even life-threatening threats like anthrax and plague. The episode explores the drug’s mechanism of action—how it targets DNA gyrase and

Clindamycin may not be the flashiest antibiotic on the shelf, but its journey from a chlorinated cousin of lincomycin to a crucial treatment for bone infections, surgical prophylaxis, and penicillin-allergic patients tells a powerful story of medical utility and regulatory evolution. In this Deep Dive, we trace its origins back to 1970s FDA approvals and follow its regulatory path through updated labeling standards and quality assurance milestones, including how clear packaging and prescribing

In this sweeping exploration of Metformin, we uncover the remarkable transformation of a medieval herbal remedy into one of the world’s most essential medicines for managing type 2 diabetes. Originating from Galega officinalis—also known as goat’s rue—this botanical curiosity led scientists on a century-long quest, culminating in the rediscovery of Metformin after earlier biguanides proved too toxic. The episode traces its winding regulatory journey, including a decades-long delay before FDA

In this epic exploration, we trace the astonishing story of insulin, a life-saving hormone that reshaped modern medicine—and human destiny. From its biological roots in ancient evolutionary systems (even cone snails use insulin-like molecules as venom!) to its discovery by Banting and Best in the 1920s, this episode unveils insulin’s complex journey through science and society. We unpack how this peptide hormone works at the cellular level—signaling muscles, fat, and the liver to regulate blood

In this foundational episode, we explore how medical devices are defined and classified by the FDA—a critical first step in navigating the regulatory landscape. Starting with the legal distinction between devices and drugs, we unpack the FDA’s risk-based classification system that categorizes devices into Class I, II, or III based on their potential harm to patients. The discussion delves into how classification affects everything from pre-market submission pathways (like 510(k), De Novo, and PMA)

As part of the US HUPO sponsored "Alt Proteomics" series highlighting alternative proteomics things, Ben and Ben sit down to talk with Dr. Jeff Nivala, University of Washington.Intro/outro music by Jeff.Keywords: nanopore; biophysics; single molecule detection; ONT; oxford nanopore technologies

In this episode we run through the Greek alphabet and see the history behind each symbol as used in chemistry, from alpha for alpha particles to omega as in omega-fatty acids. We encounter a couple of Greek letters not used as chemical symbols too.
