Methods of Microfluidics and MEMS Development

 

The following podcast takes on the form of an episode of a talk show called Science Today.  In the episode, two specialists in the field of nanotechnology are interviewed about methods of microfluidics and MEMS development.  Microfluidics deals with the behavior, control, and manipulation of fluids on a nanometer scale.  The importance of these technologies lies in the evolution of healthcare, specifically with the development of point-of-care diagnostics.  MEMS stand for microelectromechanical systems; they are small devices that integrate mechanical and electrical components.  Photolithography is one fabrication method of a MEMS device, as you can see illustrated in the graphic above.

  1. I really enjoyed your podcast! By changing speakers and having everyone participate, you made it easy to remain interested throughout the podcast. I also really like how you tied together microfluidics and MEMS to conclude your segment. The only thing I would have done differently was shorten the transition music. Awesome job!

  2. I liked the music at the start, it was very good podcast music. I liked how the information was presented in a conversation format. I liked how everything was tied together at the end. I would recommend taking out the click in the beginning when you start/stop recording.

  3. Great job guys! I found your podcast to be informative, well organized and interesting. Having a host address the issues of MEMS and microfluidics helped tie the podcast together and provide a nice flow. My only suggestions would be to shorten the length of the transition music and to make the conversation between the host and guests sound more natural.

  4. It’s very clear that you guys knew what you were talking about, and the science portion of your presentation was solid. However, the transition music seemed a bit long, and the conversational aspect of the show seemed kind of unnatural. Overall, the information was there, and I especially liked how you tied your topic in with POC diagnostics. Well done.

  5. Very nice job. All the speakers sounded very knowledgeable about their respective topics. However, the transition music was a bit too long, and the conversation could be made to seem a bit more natural. Overall, well done!

  6. I liked how informative the podcast was and how you answered interesting topics such as why do we put some much time and research into MEMS. Apart from the slightly too long transition music, you guys did a good job

  7. I really like the energy you guys had throughout the podcast. Your podcast was rich in content and great in delivery. Besides the long music transitions, everything else was amazing!

  8. This was a very interesting and engaging podcast. The information provided was all very well thought out and easy to understand. Also the music was very catchy, but the transition did seem to be a little long. Other than that this was very well done.

  9. Very informative and I liked the music choice as well. The only thing I would suggest is try to get the “Click” sound off the end of each section. Overall very good podcast.
