The Doctor’s In: What Electricity Tells Us About Our Health
One of the earliest lessons parents impart to their children is the importance of staying away from electrical outlets. In fact, it's currently at the top of my babyproofing checklist with my first child. It's a lesson grounded in our natural inclination to assume that our bodies and electricity are incompatible. However, the truth is quite the opposite. Our bodies produce electricity. Electrical impulses form the foundation of our nervous system, and electric potential literally keeps our hearts beating.December 14, 2023

The Doctor's In: Everything You Need to Know About Getting a PhD
Editor’s note: We welcome our new columnist, Henry Crandall, a doctoral student at the University of Utah and newest IPC Student Board Member. Henry plans to write about all things health engineering, graduate school, and wearable health monitors. When it comes to advanced degrees, the PhD is often a misunderstood and undervalued option. In a world where MBA programs have strong name recognition, and master's degrees can seem relatively easy to obtain, the PhD is frequently overlooked. In fact, many people couldn't even tell you what the initials stand for. (Hint: It’s Doctor of Philosophy.) As someone who has embarked on this journey, I am eager to share the insights I've gained along the way. I'll cover the value of a PhD, the requirements for earning one, and some advice for successfully completing the program.
