Open-Source PPE Manufacturing and Sterilization | The Symbiotic Podcast - S2E2

In this episode, recorded via Zoom on May 11, 2020, we talked to Penn State personnel about their involvement with the Manufacturing and Sterilization for COVID-19 Project, or MASC. We discussed how University staff and researchers used their resources and expertise to produce and extend the effective life of personal protection equipment needed by medical providers during the pandemic. We were joined by Moriah Szpara, Associate Professor of Biology, Biochemistry, and Molecular Biology; Tim Simpson, Professor of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering; and Melissa James, Facilities Coordinator at Penn State's Eva J. Pell Lab—an Animal Biosafety Level 3 Facility.
