The second episode of the University of Illinois System's "Rising to the Challenge" podcast series discusses aspects of COVID-19 testing.
We learn about all the steps that the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign has taken in developing the rapid saliva test with Dr. Martin Burke. Then look at the SHIELD Illinois Program with Ron Watkins from UIUC. And bringing COVID-19 testing to the homeless with Dr. Stockton Mayer from the University of Illinois Chicago and Rebecca Singer a Doctor of Nursing also at UIC. Then we talked to Anant Naik, a third-year medical student at Carle Illinois College of Medicine in Urbana-Champaign, about the children's book he wrote about COVID. It's called Heroes of the Pandemic: Those Who Stood up Against COVID-19.
