Andrew Pelling, a professor at the University of Ottawa with appointments in the Departments of Physics and Biology, has a fresh approach to practicing science. He utilizes fruits and vegetables to create naturally degradable scaffolds for tissue regeneration. His lab is a cross-pollinating hive of diverse disciplines, unencumbered by the rigidness of conventional approaches that favor a narrower focus. With the innovative flexibility to pursue understanding for its own sake, Andrews laboratory tests innovate options for some of the most challenging medical research study questions. In this episode, Iris Kulbatski from The Scientists Creative Services Team spoke to Andrew to read more about his distinct approach of science. Science Philosophy in a Flash is a series of mini podcasts produced by The Scientists Creative Services Team. With a focus on the individuals behind the science, this podcast highlights scientists distinct outlooks on what inspires their pursuit of science and what it implies to be a researcher.
