S2 E10: Mike Walsh and Troy Thomas - Essco Lab

This episode was recorded while I was on the road to Chelmsford, Ma in November 2022 when I got the opportunity to visit Essco Lab. In this interview I sit down with Mike and Troy to talk about many different calibration topics to include the current struggles that labs face when trying to find technicians to hire. 

S2 E9: Danae Powell

Danae started her career in metrology in 1986 as a Test Measurement & Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE) Technician in the USMC. Her background includes the alphabet soup of regulated industries to including DOD, FCC, FDA, cGMP, DOE, FAA, SAE, IATF, and NRC. Working in multiple industries and disciplines has
given her an opportunity to experience the field of metrology from many perspectives. She is passionate about training up the next generation of metrologists and driven to see metrology advanced as a recognized critical
infrastructure to nearly all areas of business. Danae joined Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in the Energy & Environment Nuclear Sciences Division working as a Metrologist for Radiation Measurements
and Irradiations (RMI) at the Hanford site in Richland, WA in 2022. She is also currently serving as the National Conference of Standards Laboratories International Vice President, Industrial Metrology Programs and
is active in multiple working groups.

S2 E8: On the Road In Denver: Mike Schwartz

This episode was recorded on 10/5/2022 while Ryan was on the road in Denver, Colorado. Ryan sits down with Mike Schwartz of Cal Lab Solutions and Cal Lab Magazine to talk about many different calibration subjects.
