    Episode 11.7: Combining biology and engineering to build stronger tendons
    Apr 13 2026
    What is the difference between tendons and ligaments? Meet Nathan Schiele (go.uidaho.edu/4bXeg80), associate professor of chemical and biological engineering (go.uidaho.edu/4tz9MKB) at University of Idaho — and a researcher engineering the future of tendon repair. Schiele is applying his engineering mindset to the construction of a human tendon. He describes how his lab and team of students are investigating what gives tendons their strength, how to grow tendon-like tissue from mouse stem cells and how to image tendons.

  • Episode 11.6: How an old Constitution applies to modern life

    Episode 11.6: How an old Constitution applies to modern life
    Apr 6 2026
    Question: How much do you think about the Constitution in your day-to-day life? What does the Constitution actually do — and how does a document written more than 200 years ago still guide modern life? In this episode, University of Idaho law (go.uidaho.edu/4bKmRec) professor Richard Seamon (go.uidaho.edu/4sLjYQo) breaks down the basics of constitutional law, from individual rights to how judges interpret the document. Along the way, he explains how the courts handle everything from free speech to new technology — and why understanding the system matters more than ever. Visit our website uidaho.edu/vandaltheory.

    Episode 11.5: The forces shaping Idaho’s agricultural economy today
    Mar 30 2026
    How much are you spending on groceries? Meet Brett Wilder (go.uidaho.edu/4tdRA9s), an assistant professor and area Extension educator in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology (go.uidaho.edu/4rTG6qo). Agriculture shapes Idaho’s economy in profound ways — but behind the headlines about record revenues is a much more complicated financial picture. Wilder explains the forces driving today’s agricultural economy and why the industry is experiencing what he calls a “tale of two economies.” Visit our website uidaho.edu/vandaltheory.
