Episode 18: Talking to Monika Snowdon about antiviral formulations and a career path in Nanotechnology

My co-host Jacob Schekman and I had our very first interview as a duo! Together, we had a very enlightening conversation with Dr Monika Snowdon about her PhD work, the projects she is currently busy with, and we learned more about her very own Podcast show, called the IMNano podcast, which she hosts with her co-host, Irfani! Monika obtained her doctorate in chemistry from the University of Waterloo. Part of her doctoral research was pursued at the National Institute for Material Science in Japan at the soft materials chemistry group under the supervision of Dr. Dai-Ming Tang. She is passionate about making nanoscience and technology more accessible to a wider audience; this drive led to the creation of the nanotechnology podcast which is all about translating cutting-edge research and its applications to society.    Please follow the links below to find out more about Monica and her work: Podcast Website: https://www.imnano.org/about   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/monikasnow/   Thank you for listening!
