It’s been really fun getting the chance to interact with MSEs from around the world, so we just wanted to thank you all for listening to this podcast and joining us as we uncover the unique ways materials science makes an impact all around us. In our fifth edition of Q&A, we will answer questions like:
🔹️What continues to be exciting in both of your jobs? What do you most look forward to during the average work day?
🔹️How much of what you learned while obtaining your MSE degree do you apply on a daily basis at work? How much of your job uses skills you gained outside of school?
🔹What have you observed about MSE’s in more senior roles? Does higher seniority come with more science-focused work or less?
🔹 And much more!

VEIR’s passive evaporative cryogenic cooling delivers 20 times the cooling power per kilogram of nitrogen flow compared to mechanical subcooling. VEIR’s innovations enable reliable, cost–effective HTS transmission over very long distances through narrow rights–of–way, connecting lowest cost renewable resources to where they’re needed, when they’re needed.
In today’s episode, we welcome Max Luke, the Director of Policy and Regulatory Affairs at VEIR, a company focused on developing superconducting transmission power lines. Max’s expertise is in advocacy for innovative technologies in the electric power and energy industries. With him, we discuss:
🔹️How VEIR’s technology is different than current and traditional transmission lines?
🔹️How specifically does technology help address this front versus legacy transmission line technology?
🔹VEIR transmission lines use liquid nitrogen to cool the transmission line below a certain temperature. Are there any safety implications related to the use of liquid nitrogen?
🔹 And much more!

According to research, what you say to an audience isn’t nearly as important as how you say it. Studies suggest that effective presentations are 38% your voice, 55% non-verbal communication, and only 7% your content. That means that you should spend even more time preparing your delivery than you do developing awesome content.
In today’s episode, we welcome Neil Thompson. Since earning his Master’s in Bioengineering and his Master’s in Biomedical Engineering from Clemson University and Columbia University, Neil has held various roles in biomedical engineering, technical communication, and with patent law. He is the founder of Teach the Geek, an educational network centered around enhancing the technical communication skills of STEM professionals. With him, we discuss:
🔹️ What audience does Neil primarily work with (i.e., students, 1-on-1 coaching, corporate seminars, etc.)?
🔹️Ideas on coaching strategy for this particular audience and these particular skills.
🔹Tips or common issues for students and early-career professionals to look out for while trying to improve their technical communication.
🔹 And much more!
