University faculty share their research and expertise with various audiences.  In doing so, faculty build a brand that promotes their own careers and the university they serve. 

On this episode, I talk with Regents' Professor Dr. Rodney E. Rohde - chair of the Clinical Laboratory Sciences program at Texas State University.  When the pandemic hit, media outlets around the world were looking for answers about COVID 19. Journalists and news outlets turned to Distinguished Professor, Microbiologist, and Virologist Dr. Rodney E. Rohde.  During our interview, we talk about how faculty can leverage their expertise for the benefit of their career and the university.
