Pathologists examine organs, tissues, body fluids cells and molecules to look for clues to disease and injuries. Penn Vet does this same work ... but with animals. We look at how veterinary pathology impacts the intersection of human, animal, and environmental health through extensive disease surveillance. Penn Vet's research has direct influence on agricultural systems, animal welfare/law enforcement (which has important ties to human social welfare), as well as "mad-made" ecosystems on wildlife. To learn more on these research contributions, Host Dan Loney talks with Dr. Julie Engiles, an Associate Professor of Pathology at Penn Vet’s New Bolton Center, and is also the Section Head for Avian and Mammalian Pathology for the Pennsylvania Animal Diagnostic Laboratory System (PADLS) program, on Knowledge@Wharton.

We're featuring a series this month called “2019: A Look Ahead” and continue with a look at the future of the auto industry. In 2018, car makers announced the end of many lines of sedans and coupes to focus on more popular SUVs and trucks. Companies like Ford, General Motors and Toyota are looking to spend more resources on autonomous vehicles and electric cars. The companies are also dealing with rising interest rates and trade tariffs that impact steel prices as well as sales in China. If the disappointing reviews coming out of the motor city are a sign, 2019 could be a rough year for the auto companies. Host Dan Loney talks about these contributing factors with John Paul MacDuffie, Professor of Management at the Wharton School and Director of the Program on Vehicle and Mobility Innovation at Wharton's Mack Institute, and Paul Eisenstein, Publisher and Editor of TheDetroitBureau.com on Knowledge@Wharton.

Legendary investor and Vanguard founder John "Jack" Bogle passed earlier this month at the age of 89.

Vanguard, which Bogle started in the late 1970s, now has over $5 trillion in investor assets. Host Dan Loney talks with Jeremy Siegel, Professor of Finance at the Wharton School, and Burton Malkiel, former Director of the Vanguard Group, Chief Investment Officer at Wealthfront, and Economics Professor Emeritus at Princeton University, about their memories of John Bogle and their insights on his legacy on Knowledge@Wharton.
