Everyone get your thinking caps out and get excited, because the next interviews for "BOS Science" are right around the corner. But before I can get down to brass tacks with these scientists, I need your help!
Coming up, I talk to Professor Tyrone Porter and the lab members at the Nanomedicine and Medical Acoustics Lab at Boston University. Before I sit down with my next guests, I'm going to give you some details on some of the wicked cool science that is being worked on at the lab. Now you get the chance to submit your very own questions about this research, which will be answered by these scientists live on the show! And trust me, you're going to want to ask a million questions after you read all about this lab's amazing research.
Our next guests come from the NanoMedAL lab, who's main goal is to integrate the best of engineering, chemistry, and biology all in one using one common technology: ultrasound. These scientists are working on some truly fascinating research, including:
1. Microbubble Treatment for Vascular Dementia
2. Ultrasound-mediated Blood-Brain Barrier Opening
3. Acoustic Droplet Vaporization & Tumor Ablation
Take a listen to today's episode to hear a little about each of these exciting topics, or take a look at the article links to learn more about Professor Porter and the research being done at the NanoMedAL. With all the exciting science going on at this lab, you're bound to have a question or two floating around in that big brain of yours, so do me a huge favor and jot those questions down and send them to me. Every question is welcome here, no matter how big or small, complicated or simple; I accept and love them all <3
Write your questions in the comments below or send me an email if you want to stay anonymous (no judgement, your secret's safe with me). You can submit your questions until 8:00 am (EST) on Monday, June 29th, so better get started now!
Thank you guys in advance for your questions, I know they are going to be amazing because you guys are amazing! Subscribe to make sure you don't miss the next episode of "BOS Science", and I'll see y'all next time!

Hi Grace, Another question for you, I thought that when injecting medicine into the blood, it was important to make sure there were no air bubbles in the syringe, because it could be fatal if injected into the blood stream. I understand that micro bubbles are small, is that why they don't cause a problem? Is there ever a danger of the micro bubbles bunching together and merging into larger bubbles that could become fatal?

Hi Grace, Fascinating concepts, but how are these ideas tested to see that they really work? Has testing been performed on human subjects yet? If not how long until this treatment idea will be available for actual patients?

Hi Grace! Thanks so much for giving your listeners a chance to ask some questions about your next episode! You mentioned that the micro bubbles can help with cancer and Alzheimer's treatment. My question is would these microbubbles be useful in helping with treating mental illness? Depression, bipolar, D.I.D. etc? Thanks Grace! Keep up the fantastic work!
