Water, waste and guts: engineering better health outcomes with Lee Voth-Gaeddert

Lab Coat Optional by Arizona State University

Episode notes

How often do you think about where your water comes from? Lee Voth-Gaeddert spends a lot of time doing just that — as well as how clean that water is. In this episode, the engineer from the Biodesign Institute takes us along on his winding research journey ranging from water harvesting in the U.S. Virgin Islands and chicken slaughterhouses in Indonesia to agrarian communities in Guatemala. His work touches on water, microbes, gut health and malnutrition — the hidden systems that keep us all healthy.
