An Interview with A Mentor- Dr. Robert Langer, Sc.D. (MIT Institute Professor) on aspects of the Future of Diabetes Medicine Research ====== Diabetes therapy is entering a new phase. For decades, the central challenge was how to deliver insulin more safely, more intelligently, and more responsively. The research work by Dr. Langer has produced a generation of technologies aimed at making therapy more autonomous: glucose-responsive insulin systems, microneedle patches, implantable rescue devices, lipid nanoparticles, and mRNA-based approaches to protein replacement. At the same time, a separate revolution emerged from pharmacology. GLP-1 receptor agonists, dual GIP/GLP-1 agonists, and now triple GIP/GLP-1/glucagon agonists have changed expectations for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. ===== Music by ⁠ANDRII KORNIEV⁠ from ⁠Pixabay⁠ ==== Views of this interview reflect those of my guest and I.

An Interview with A Mentor- Chancellor Gary May, 7th Chancellor of University of California, Davis- Recorded in 2026 INTERVIEW OVERVIEW Chancellor Gary S. May 7th Chancellor, University of California, Davis KEY FIGURES • 433 underrepresented students earned Ph.D.s in science and engineering at Georgia Tech — most in the nation • 73% of SURE program participants went on to graduate school • 200+ technical publications; 15 book contributions; 1 patent • $13.2 billion annual economic contribution to California • 40,000+ students enrolled at UC Davis • $1 billion+ in annual sponsored research Some of the questions in this interview included: Background: Created the Summer Undergraduate Research in Engineering/Science (SURE) program backed by NSF. Founded FACES and the University Center of Exemplary Mentoring with NSF and Sloan Foundation grants. Produced the most Ph.D.s among underrepresented groups in science and engineering in the nation. Q3. SURE sent 73% of participants to graduate school. What design principles separate a research experience that genuinely transforms a student from one that's merely decorative on a résumé? Q4. Through FACES and the University Center of Exemplary Mentoring, 433 underrepresented students earned Ph.D.s — the most in the nation. If a provost called you tomorrow wanting to replicate that, what's the one structural element they cannot skip — and the mistake institutions most often make? Background: Steve W. Chaddick Chair, Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Dean, Georgia Tech College of Engineering — largest and most diverse engineering school in the nation (400+ faculty, 13,000 students). Executive Assistant to President G. Wayne Clough. Elected to the National Academy of Engineering, 2018. Q5. You went from the Chaddick Chair to dean of the largest, most diverse engineering school in the country while sustaining 200+ publications. How did you manage the scholar-administrator tension, and what did serving as executive assistant to President Wayne Clough teach you about executive leadership before you ever held the title? Q6. Leaders keep emerging from your Georgia Tech orbit including President DesRoches at Rice, Isbell at UIUC, President Ayanna Howard now at Spelman, President Blake at Georgia State, Provost Beyah as provost. Coaches have coaching trees — you have a leadership tree. Was this the product of a deliberate, repeatable system for developing leaders, or a culture that leadership simply grows in? Q7. Often a mentor sees leadership potential in someone before they see it in themselves. When you spot that raw material in a young faculty member or administrator, what exactly are you looking for — and how do you have the conversation that plants the seed of "you could run an institution one day"? Background: 7th Chancellor, UC Davis (2017–present). Four colleges, six professional schools, 40,000+ students, $1B+ in annual sponsored research. Ranked 3rd best public university in the United States (Wall Street Journal/College Pulse, 2024). Ten-year strategic plan: To Boldly Go. Music by Nikita Kondrashev from Pixabay

The Blueprint: Designing the Future of Surgery - Dr. Cray Noah, MD Returns- 2.0 (UCLA/Harvard/Georgia Tech) --- Innovation isn't accidental; it's designed. Welcome to The Blueprint, a show committed to inventing the future and closing the gap between aspiration and achievement. We deconstruct the mechanics of success in modern science to provide access to the insights that matter most. On this episode with Dr. Cray and Chadwin Hanna (MD-PhD Student at University of Florida), we sit down again in December 2025, five years after his initial guest appearance with Dr. Cray Noah, a General Surgery Resident at UCLA and an emerging leader at the intersection of engineering and medicine. A graduate of Harvard Medical School and a summa cum laude Biomedical Engineer from Georgia Tech, Cray has a track record of moving technical ideas from concept to clinical practice. We dive deep into his journey, and have real conversations on wellness, success and the journey of being a surgery resident. Also, this conversation includes: The Future of Transplants: His current feasibility study using hematopoietic stem cells to eliminate long-term immunosuppression in liver transplant recipients. From the GT environment to the operating room, this is a masterclass in navigating—and leading—the next era of discovery. Definitely an episode worth listening to.

Oye 4 DC City Council- The Blueprint: Evidence Over "Rearrangements and Vibes" — No “SN1 Chemistry-like Policies” with Dr. Oye Owolewa, PharmD- Oye 4 DC City Council -- Blueprint: Evidence Over "Rearrangements and Vibes" — No “SN1 Rearrangement-like Policies” Guest: Dr. Oye Owolewa, PharmD Guest Bio United Sates Representative Oye Owolewa (D-D.C.) is a dedicated public servant and community advocate committed to uplifting the voices of underserved communities. Elected in 2020 as the U.S. Representative for the District of Columbia, Rep. Owolewa made history as the first Nigerian American elected to Congress. His leadership is rooted in a passion for equity, social justice, and empowering marginalized populations. Born to Nigerian immigrant parents, Rep. Owolewa grew up in Massachusetts before moving to Washington, D.C., where he earned his Doctorate in Pharmacy from Northeastern University. His background in healthcare has fueled his advocacy for accessible and affordable healthcare, mental health resources, and economic empowerment. Prior to his role in Congress, Rep. Owolewa actively served his community through various grassroots initiatives. He worked closely with local organizations to provide educational support, mentorship, and resources for D.C. residents. His focus on youth engagement and civic education has inspired young leaders to become active participants in their communities. In Congress, Rep. Owolewa continues to champion policies that promote racial and economic equity, expand mental health support, and address systemic injustices. He is a strong advocate for D.C. statehood, ensuring that residents of the nation's capital have full representation in Congress. His legislative priorities include economic development, healthcare awareness, and youth empowerment, aiming to create opportunities and resources for all D.C. residents. With a steadfast commitment to service, Rep. Owolewa remains dedicated to improving the lives of his constituents and building a more inclusive and just society for all. Episode Summary What happens when you apply mechanistic thinking—Woodward-level rigor and Percy Julian-level ingenuity—to public policy in Washington, D.C.? In this episode of Blueprint: Inventing the Future, we speak with Dr. Oye Owolewa, PharmD, who is running for DC City Council, exploring how clinical precision and evidence-based reasoning can translate into durable solutions for STEAM education, workforce development, digital equity, mental health, and civic empowerment. We frame D.C. governance like an organic synthesis problem: stabilize intermediates, control reaction conditions, eliminate “side reactions,” and design for yield—so opportunity is not theoretical, but repeatable.
