We sat down with Melanie Hingle just before Thanksgiving, and yes, pumpkin pie is on her plate. From there, Lisa and Laine explore Melanie's work in nutrition science and public health. She shares how her passion for nutrition began with a chance encounter and has grown to include multiple community partnerships. Along the way, she reflects on balancing work and life—whether through family meals or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Prepare to be inspired by her fresh perspective on health and community!
We cut to the chase and ask Sudha Ram about her adorable pup, Griffey. After establishing he's a very good boy, Lisa and Laine learn about analyzing large data sets to improve quality of life for everyone from asthma patients to new U of A students on campus. Sudha's innovative ideas positioned her to be a pioneer in her field as the Internet was just taking shape. Her career shifted from business and profits to public education, and we are all fortunate she pursued her passion. Enjoy!
