Innovation Overground: Recent Episodes
UNeMed
We find all the cool academic innovations so you don't have to. Sponsored and produced by UNeMed, the technology transfer and commercialization office for the University of Nebraska Medical Center and the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
What’s light as plastic, strong as steel and less expensive per pound than the chassis of an Italian sportscar? Carbon fiber reinforced polymers, duh! Join the Overground as they extend their tour of the mind-bending world of materials science to the juncture of additive manufacturing, uncompromising structural rigidity and sustainable sourcing. It’s the only podcast in your feed that will point you in the general direction of building your own Pontiac Fiero chassis from locally sourced organic ingredients.

Join us as we explore further innovation involving sheets of carbon – rolled up into a delicious churro of nearly infinite reinforcing strength: carbon nanotubes. It’s awesome rebar, it’s the business end of a molecular analyzer, its formed from advanced chemical deposition, and scientists are cranking it out – by the centimeter.

We begin season three(!) as materials science makes astonishing leaps forward. Join the Overground as we shelter in place with a limited series on materials science innovation. First stop, friend of the show, Graphene! The crew discusses how graphene will be the optical interstate onramp to the rail network of our information science infrastructure... or something... and smart medical instruments that will measure your vitals while they save your life.

What if the lasting legacy of COVID-19 is...not all bad? Leavening the horror of pandemic disease is the shockingly fast development of a vaccine. Right now, two COVID-19 vaccine candidates are roaring into full-on human testing, and may be ready to inoculate the world by 2021.

This week the OG crew discusses all that is unknown about COVID-19, and what that means. Still up the in air: basically all the complex biology, infectious rate, latency, immunity, co-morbidity and potential vaccine efficacy. But take heart, listeners because there are a few things science is confident about.

Social distancing will not disrupt innovation! Join the Overground from home as they do their part to catalog how university innovation is addressing this historic pandemic. The crew discusses the multifaceted innovative response to COVID-19 coming from the University of Nebraska Medical Center, including a new approach to sterilize equipment using ultraviolet radiation, the early results of the Remdesivir clinical trial and a slew of other new inventions: face guards, intubation shields, aerosol mask filters, diagnostic kits and a COVID-19 screener app. Most importantly, learn the most comfortable (or maybe least uncomfortable) way to get a nasal swab!

Even as we drown in more and more information we grow more and more uncertain about what’s true. The Overground takes a turn for the morally ambiguous as they discuss how human technology has made it harder to know what to believe. University innovation to the rescue? University innovation is, um, reading the text messages, ahem, between patients and... uh... their therapists. Which, could have some beneficial impact, right? Also, Tyler talks about the ethical dilemma of information technology.

Rare earth elements are supposed to be rare, but this is getting ridiculous. Rare earth elements make highly efficient catalysts and magnets, and they’re critical resources for the electric-driven green economy. Demand is outstripping supply, and the elements are not evenly distributed across the nations of the earth. University innovation to the rescue! There are now next-generation magnets that are rare-earth element free, and in the future, these precious elements will come from a place they’re not, well, rare.

Joe’s calling it: The U.S. silicon solar panel party is over. Done. Last one out please turn off the lights... ‘cause we’re all heading to the Overground after-party! Join the Overground as they discuss how to “level-up" current solar technology and the truly wide-open future of electricity generation, which may or may not include a giant Acme-style magnifying glass hanging off the moon.

Did you know that you’re living in the biotechnology century? Decades of innovation have made DNA sequencing cheap and easy, littering the world with piles of genetic code. Tyler guides the Overground through the innovative software applications that turns piles of sequence data into clinically relevant information. Join the crew they discuss how bioinformatics detects diseases, keeps you healthy and why we have a spleen.

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.

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.

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.
