The latest episode of Ceramic Tech Chat is out! In this episode we meet Courtney Calahoo, research and development team lead at Genics Inc. Glass is generally considered inert, but recent decades have seen increasing interest in glasses that react more readily with their environment. Calahoo shares her journey to working on dissolvable glasses, describes some of her current projects, and provides examples of how Indigenous knowledge can benefit modern scientific research. Listen at the link below, on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Amazon Music. #glass #Indigenousscience https://lnkd.in/g2PhPPGb
