Welcome to the After-On Podcast. I'm your host, Rob Reed.

And this is a series of conversations with thinkers, founders, and scientists.

Take a little time and stretch out because these talks are unhurry and meant to bring you

to a top percentile understanding of something important.

Also, whether you're ready to start up or ideas, a techie or a lit major, take your time,

engage your mind, and you'll be glad you did.

Especially this week when we'll be talking to Stanford immunologist, Carina Doe.

Carries among the world's leading experts in the mysterious epidemic of food allergies,

which now afflict several hundred percent more people than just a few decades ago.

She runs the Sean Parker Center for Allergy and Asma Research at Stanford.

Sean, whose resume famously includes a stint as Facebook's first president,

enabled the launch of that center with a $24 million check, in large part, out of his enthusiasm

for Carries groundbreaking work.

Before we dive into that work, I'd like to quickly welcome those who are new to this show.

Each episode of it is built around a sweeping conversation with a world-class thinker,

founder, and or scientist about their domains of knowledge.

In the course of this, I try to bring you and myself a serious grounding in something

complex and important that we should all probably understand a bit better.
