Sounds of Science

Patients who need kidney dialysis live all over the world - even in some of the remotest regions. They need updated equipment, trained healthcare staff, and lots of clean water. Chris Atwater, Director of Technical Operations at the nonprofit Bridge of Life, helps bring hope to these areas. He has traveled to six continents for his life's work, using skills he learned as a United States Marine and the education he acquired for this role.

If you are interested in learning more about challenges facing dialysis patients in remote areas, check out this video we made about services in the Australian bush. 

What is Sounds of Science?

Sounds of Science is a monthly podcast about beginnings: how a molecule becomes a drug, how a rodent elucidates a disease pathway, how a horseshoe crab morphs into an infection fighter. The podcast is produced by Eureka, the scientific blog of Charles River, a contract research organization for drug discovery and development. Tune in and begin the journey.
