In this episode, we sit down with Charles Chiu, the Executive Director at Toronto bike shop, Charlie’s Freewheels. Charlie’s Freewheels uses bicycles to "support the development of empowered young leaders, and self-assured young cyclists. They do this by improving youth access to bicycles, facilitating bicycle-related skill development, and inspiring youth to ride with confidence" (CFW, 2020).  Featured in this episode: Charles Chiu, Lyndsay Hayhurst, Mitch McSweeney Music by: Kevin McLeod and Broke for Free via the 'Free Music Archive’ Album Artwork by: Shawn Forde Resources Charlie’s Freewheels - https://charliesfreewheels.ca/mission/

The Bicycle's Role in Social Justice: Charles Chiu, Executive Director at Charlie's Freewheels

Most diagnostic tests look for a single microorganism, or at most a limited panel of microorganisms. Charles Chiu discusses his research on metagenomic sequencing as a diagnostic tool that can identify all potential pathogens in a given patient sample.
