In this week’s episode, hosts Maris Schneider and Meghan Voll interview Carly Charron, a PhD candidate in Biology, and previous GradCast host! Carly breaks the news about the dangers of eating raw chicken and eggs (say goodbye to that cookie dough batter!) as she researches how to make food safer for consumption, starting at the source – chickens. She is designing a plant-based vaccine to administer to chickens to induce immunity against Salmonella. Carly has just finished her first round of chicken trials, administering her vaccine to a group of chickens who will be studied in various ways to test their immunity. Join us as we talk about her research, her experience patenting her vaccine, and all the educational outreach she does along the way.
