This week, Nicole Black, PhD from Harvard and Mass Eye and Ear Hospital introduces us to a biomimetic device that could revolutionize ear drum repair, and Samantha Lott Hale joins us to talk about Girl Scouts programming and of course our favorite topic, Girl Scout cookies.

Each week, Woods engages national leaders and local experts from the clinical, business, scientific, academic, and political communities in an honest and upbeat dialogue about today’s healthcare realities and tomorrow’s developing opportunities. From emerging technologies to evolving policy work, personal fitness to public health, each show showcases the thinkers and explore the thinking that will help us change the conversation – and ultimately change the world.
