A new virtual interview series and podcast from LabXchange at Harvard University, the Xchange showcases the diverse roles, projects, and initiatives that make up the intersecting fields of science, education, and health. Hosted by LabXchange Faculty Director Robert Lue, the first season features a range of perspectives on the impact of COVID-19.

This podcast series is presented by LabXchange with support from the Amgen Foundation, new episodes are released weekly on YouTube, SoundCloud, and LabXchange.org.

Thank you for kicking off these conversations that bring in people from different fields. We are dealing with complex problems: inequality, poverty, structural exclusion. No one discipline, no one person has all of the answers; to bring in a lot of people from a lot of disciplines to have these conversations is needed.Dr. Anthony Jack, Assistant Professor, Harvard Graduate School of Education
