Brian interviews Dr. Kevin Hewitt. He talks about the use of lasers for health and the importance for STEM education for everyone. Dr. Hewitt is being recognized for his work to foster interest in science among students of African descent in Nova Scotia, and his leadership with Dal’s Imhotep's Legacy Academy, an innovative university-community partnership that bridges the achievement gap for students of African heritage in grades six to 12. As a researcher, Dr. Hewitt supervises the Hewitt Bionanophotonics Lab that’s overseeing the development of three projects, including an optical diagnostic tool for disease detection that is a novel technology that will allow transplant surgeons to obtain accurate measurements of liver fat content during donor surgeries.
