Baloney Detection Episode 18 - Dr. Brian Merkel InterviewDr. Brian Merkel has been with UW Green Bay for 20 years and teaches courses courses in immunology, advanced microbiology, microbiology, and human disease in society. He currently studies the effects of the herbal supplement echinacea on the immune system in cell models and in human subjects. He's a pre‐health advisor for human biology and biology students and the advisor for UW Green Bay's chapter of the National Biological Honor Society, TriBeta. He also teaches medical students for the Medical College of Wisconsin in Green Bay. Dr. Merkel says that this experience has helped him become a better mentor, advisor, and teacher for all of the students he works with at UW Green Bay. I'd like to also add that Brian has recently won the UW Green Bay Founders Award for Excellence in Teaching for Faculty. Personally, Dr. Merkel is part of a couple of groups that I'm involved with, including a misinformation research group with several of our other colleagues, and also a set of rural health forums that we are a part of led by a friend of the podcast and former interviewee Amanda Hartlaub. View the transcript for this episode.
