On this episode of #ShareScience, we spoke with Meaghan Loy, Senior Category Director of In Vivo Services with Scientist.com, on Rare Disease Day.
A disease is rare when it affects fewer than 1 in 2,000 people. Research needs to be international to ensure that experts, researchers, and clinicians are connected. In this episode, Meaghan explains her perspective on clinical trials, having recently been involved in one. After years of performing research within the biopharma industry, she was diagnosed with an orphan and rare disease that unfortunately required less than ideal treatment options.
Listen to hear the full story of Meaghan’s journey from behind the microscope to under it, and what she learned along the way.

On this episode of #ShareScience, we spoke with Dr. Oliver Wearing, Mitacs Industrial Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Cellular & Physiological Sciences at the University of British Columbia. He recently won the InsideScientific Science Communications content creator kit giveaway at the American Physiology Summit 2023.
Oliver’s research looks at developing next-generation radiotelemetry devices to monitor cardiovascular function in small and large animal models, to better enable us to generate safe and effective translational therapies for humans with spinal cord injury to restore their cardiovascular function. Oliver shares what led him to study the relationship between cardiovascular physiology and the autonomic nervous system, how achieving his various positions and awards have allowed him to pursue his research goals, and where he hopes to take his work next.
