Come meet your favorite podcast hosts! Dr. Amit Khera: Hi, this is Amit Khera. I'm digital strategies editor for Circulation, and boy, do I have a treat today? I get to step in for Carolyn Lam and Greg Hundley, but wait, I actually get to interview Carolyn Lam and Greg Hundley today. So we have a very special Circulation on the run. Well, the interviewer becomes the interviewee. These two you get to hear every week and hear this amazing back and forth and deep insight into Science and Circulation. But, who are these folks behind the Circulation on the Run podcast? And boy, what interesting life stories they have and how they work through this. And wait, we also have a third joining us today, and that is Augie Rivera, who is the managing editor of Circulation. So we get to see the mastermind behind how all this runs. Well, Carolyn, Greg, Augie, welcome you three. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Thanks, Amit. Feels weird. Dr. Amit Khera: Good. Then mission accomplished this week. Well, first let me start with you, Carolyn. I know you and I started this long ago, with help from so many folks. People hear you every week and I'm sure many people know you quite well. I will say you have one of the most interesting backgrounds, incredible scientific and personal accomplishments, professional accomplishments. So we're very fortunate to have you as leading this podcast in the beginning, but a lot of people may not know your background story about sort of your training and your day job, because you do have a day job outside of podcasting. So tell us a little bit about yourself, about how you got here in life. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Oh my gosh. Amit, I'm humbled by your question. My goodness. I feel just very lucky to be part of the Circulation editors. And I humbly did my med school in Singapore, and did cardiology here, and traveled and lived overseas for the first time. Guess where, in Rochester, Minnesota. Tropical Singapore island to refrigerator state. Other than that, it was absolutely the most pivotal moment of my life. Met my first female mentor and Dr. Margaret Redfield. Really, really just came into my own and got involved in population-based research. And then hopped on over to Boston where actually I was working at the Framingham Heart Study. So continuing sort of the epidemiologic work, but then I think another mentor I really have to call out too is Dr. Scott Solomon, who kind of took me under his wing a little bit and showed me a little bit of the world of clinical trials. And boy, all I can say is I haven't looked back. And so here I am. Dr. Amit Khera: I think you took a detour in the Netherlands too. Am I right to say that? Dr. Carolyn Lam: Oh yes, but that was quite a late detour in life. I was really, really fortunate meet Dr. Adrian Voris who supervised my own PhD. That was a really interesting thing because I come from a family of a pediatrician in my mom, and a scientist, a biologist really, specialized in fish, in my father. And I'm saying this because my father told me never ever follow his footsteps and do a PhD. Make sure I follow my mom's footsteps and be a clinician, and go into private practice. Dr. Amit Khera: Well, it looks like you followed both of their footsteps, maybe the best of both, so they're very proud of you for that. We recently had the privilege of having you give us grand rounds and get to hear your impressive work in clinical trials. And I have to say, the work you're doing in half half and really with some great clinical trial and cohort data involving Asian populations was quite inspiring and impressive. How did you sort of get things going? You've traveled around and moved back and how did you start getting y
