A multi-faceted team at UNeMed - the University of Nebraska Medical Center TTO - has launched a podcast series designed to take some of the mystery out of tech transfer for a broad audience while promoting the school's research successes as well as a positive message about academic innovation and commercialization in general. The series, called "Innovation Overground," will run episodes approximately 15 minutes long on consecutive Mondays. "To oversimplify it, it's basically the kind of conversation we have around the office," says communications specialist Charlie Litton, part of the three-man team behind the series, and the only one without a science or tech transfer background. "Joe (Joe Runge, one of the podcasts' three co-hosts and UNeMed's business development manager) would write a blog post and I'd say, 'What does this mean?' We'd then have some very interesting conversations."
