Some of the most exciting innovations in medicine today are almost too small to see. In this episode, host Angela Gill Nelms sits down with Professor David Myers, a biomedical engineer who loves building tiny technologies that tackle huge health problems. From microscopic sensors to real-world medical tools, Dr. Myers shares how curiosity, creativity, and a few unexpected twists led him to a career designing inventions that could make health care more accessible and convenient. Along the way, you’ll hear about hilarious lab moments, surprising science, and why the future of medicine might be smaller than you think.
