If you have taken Bioe 301, you know how much I love science news from NPR. Though I don't usually admit this in class, I also love Comedy Central's news. Because I go to bed early, I have to DVR The Daily Show and The Colbert Report and catch up the next day. Not only do I watch fake news, I watch it a day late.
Imagine my jealousy when I watched Emily Pilloton's appearance on Colbert last week:

But I got to thinking... I wrote a book. My students design cool stuff to solve socially important problems. Why shouldn't we be on Colbert? Along with our cool dosing syringe and salad-spinner-turned-centrifuge?
So I'm asking for your help. Let's start the "Get BTB on Colbert" campaign. Maybe you could e-mail the producers. Or edit his Wikipedia page to insert our names somewhere...
Next Week in BIOE 260: Oprah stops by class to announce that she is bringing back her book club and will feature Biomedical Engineering for Global Health as the next selection. We convince her to fund the international dissemination of the BTB curriculum. And I get a makeover. I really believe this could happen.
