The Lattice (Official 3DHEALS Podcast)
Welcome to the Lattice podcast, the official podcast for 3DHEALS. This is where you will find fun but in-depth conversations (by founder Jenny Chen) with technological game-changers, creative minds, entrepreneurs, rule-breakers, and more. The conversations focus on using 3D technologies, like 3D printing and bioprinting, AR/VR, and in silico simulation, to reinvent healthcare and life sciences. This podcast will include AMA (Ask Me Anything) sessions, interviews, select past virtual event recordings, and other direct engagements with our Tribe.
While there is no rule for our podcast content, the only rule we follow is to provide our listeners with a maximized return on their attention and time investment.
