Creativity Sparks Innovation

Today's guest is the one and only Dr. Barbara Wirostko, MD, FARVO! As a clinician-scientist and entrepreneur, Barb is currently a Clinical Adjunct Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at the Moran Eye Center in Salt Lake City, the Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Qlaris Bio, Inc., and the Medical Consultant at MyEyes, LLC. Cynthia and Barb talk about the power of human connection, believing in yourself, and how the combination of scientific knowledge, business acumen, and creativity can propel your career into the directions that you truly desire.

Towards the end of this episode, we delve into a deeply personal topic for Barb - the creation of the Joseph James Morelli Legacy Foundation, a charity she created alongside her husband, which provides scholarships and guidance to high school and college students with dyslexia who want to persue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
