Finding Clean Water
Unclean water currently kills more people in the developing world than HIV and malaria combined, and the technology used to test for bacteria in water is 30 years out of date.

Alex Patto joins us to discuss how a portable microscope system developed by his company WaterScope is on the cusp of changing how water is tested for bacterial contamination in the developing world. The topics we discussed included everything from WaterScope's field testing in a Tanzanian refugee camp, to Alex's experience transitioning from academia into a CEO position, and how he is learning new skills on the job.
