Two researchers at UCF are developing a cough drop that can reduce the spread of COVID-19 by making saliva heavier and stickier - it makes sneeze and cough particles fall rather than float. But is there really a market for such a product? Paul Jarley talks with researchers Michael Kinzel and Kareem Ahmed to find out the science behind the lozenge, how soon it could hit store shelves and the similarities to products you already have around the house.   Featured Guests Kareem Ahmed - Assistant Professor, College of Engineering & Computer Science, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Michael Kinzel - Assistant Professor, College of Engineering & Computer Science, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Cameron Ford - Director, UCF Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership Michael Pape - Dr. Phillips Entrepreneur in Residence; Lecturer, Management Episode Highlights 0:49 - The origin of the COVID-19 cough drop idea 2:58 - How mechanical engineers got into cough drops 5:18 - How can the COVID cough drop make it to stores? 7:58 - Legal hurdles for the COVID cough drop 11:53 - Who is the target audience for this? 16:27 - How long will it take to get to market? 25:42 - ...Ketchup? 28:48 - What are the learning lessons for students? 33:07 - Final thoughts from Paul Jarley, Cameron Ford and Michael Pape Click to listen to the extended "geek" edition of this episode or visit business.ucf.edu/podcast!   Episode Transcription Paul Jarley:                         2020 has been the year of the coronavirus, and big money is being put in to find a vaccine. But what if I told you that the spread of COVID isn't a medical problem, but rather an engineering one. And that two UCF Aerospace Engineers might have a simple, low-cost solution. Would you invest in their project? Paul Jarley:                         This show is all about separating hype from fundamental change. I'm Paul Jarley, Dean of the College of Business here at UCF. I've got lots of questions. To get answers, I'm talking to people with interesting insights into the future of business. Have you ever wondered, is this really a thing? Onto our show. Paul Jarley:                         Ideas come from unexpected places. Listen to Michael Kinzel, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at UCF. Explain the origin of the idea for a COVID cough drop. Michael Kinzel:                 It was kind of funny, right? My wife was arguing with one of our neighbors on Facebook, about aerosols and how far they can kind of pass from one person to another. And one of the things about aerosols is they're very small, and if you cough, for example, at that time, they were showing that... Actually not cough, sneeze, if you sneeze, they were showing that these aerosols can travel at 27 feet. My wife was arguing with neighbors like, "Hey, you need to be careful as you go by somebody, maybe move out of the sidewalk." Because of these aerosols. And it drove me to think, how do you make these... What do we do in engineering to make things not form aerosols? Michael Kinzel:                 And one of the things that drives that is underlying fluid dynamics processes that associated with how thick your fluid is. So for example, if you think about trying to make small droplets out of oil, it's a lot more difficult than making small droplets out of water, or even on the other end alcohol. So this is kind of driving, it was kind of, how do you get to a scenario where you don't enable droplets to travel 27 feet? And if you make them large, they're no longer aerosols and they have a tendency to fall. So one way to potentially enable that is by making a lozenge that actually alters your saliva. So that it behaves or has a tendency to form these large droplets that don't persist for very long distances. Paul Jarley:                         Okay. So first, Michael,

Starting a business with no money or funding could be easier than you think. Jesse Wolfe, founder and CEO of O'Dang Hummus, got his start at UCF with some big ideas and little capital. Several years later, he's CEO of a multi-million dollar business and has turned the salad dressing industry on its head. But one success story does not mean everyone could do it...   Featured Guests: Jesse Wolfe - Founder / President, O'Dang Hummus Cameron Ford - Director, UCF Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership Michael Pape - Dr. Phillips Entrepreneur in Residence; Lecturer, Management Donna Mackenzie - Executive Director, StarterStudio Carol Ann Dykes Logue - Site Manager, UCF Business Incubator Episode Transcription:   Voice:                                "If you build it, he will come." Terence Mann:                "He will come, Ray. He will most definitely come." Paul Jarley:                       That's my favorite line from Field of Dreams. But, what if you can't build it? Jesse Wolfe:                     It came out to a $700,000, almost a million dollar, order. And they needed them to be about $10 a cart and I could not figure out how to get them below $25 a cart. Paul Jarley:                       Or, what if they don't come? Cameron Ford:                The Google Glass, people started using it out in public and stuff like that, and quickly were scorned as being what were described as Glass-holes. My understanding is they pulled from the market. Paul Jarley:                       Lean start up offers a different approach, but is it really a thing? Or, is it just academics hyping the scientific method? Paul Jarley:                       This show is all about separating hype from fundamental change. I'm Paul Jarley, Dean of the College of Business here at UCF. I've got lots of questions. To get answers, I'm talking to people with interesting insights into the future of business. Have you ever wondered, is this really a thing? Onto our show. Paul Jarley:                       This is how significant businesses started back in the day. Michael Pape:                 What we were, I'll just say, required to do as an entrepreneur with VCs with trying to get, maybe, economic development funds. Paul Jarley:                       Yup. Michael Pape:                 And this was in the biotech space. Paul Jarley:                       That's Dr. Michael Pape, Professor of Practice here in the College of Business, and Director of our UpStarts program. Michael Pape:                 So it was a tech-oriented business that I've been involved in, was write the business plan, and I have sat down, myself and with my teams, of writing the 40 to 60 page business plan. The fat startup, if I may define it that way, had you do that. Venture capitalists would request it, and they would want to make sure that you saw the plan from beginning to end. Paul Jarley:                       Then a funny thing happened starting in the early 1990s. Universities started to develop entrepreneurship programs. They did this partly to serve their economic development missions, partly because donors loved to give money to this cause and partly because more and more students became interested in entrepreneurship as a career path. Paul Jarley:                       In the early 1990s, ideals spun out of Stanford, with an emphasis on design thinking. Another decade passed and Berkeley started developing what has come to be known as lean start up. It had a coming out party in 2011, with the publication of Eric Riles book by the same name. But, are universities and business schools really the place to start businesses? Paul Jarley:                       I had my doubts. We excel at getting rule followers great jobs in companies who are looking for functional talent. We really aren't geared up to help people who want to color outside the lines, pursue their crazy dreams,

That said, a quarter of my students say they want to start a business, and students seem to love the lean startup methodology. Cameron Ford, Director of our Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership, has a pretty obvious reason why. Cameron Ford:                Our students love the lean approach because, of course, they don't have any resources. So-

FinTech Initiative at UCF Jim Balaschak - Principal, Deanja, LLC Mike O'Donnell - Executive Director, UCF Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship Alexander Golding - Founder and CEO, HelpedHope; Bitcoin Investor David Metcalf - Senior Researcher and Director, Mixed Emerging Technology Integration Lab (METIL), Institute for Simulation & Training Jim Adamczyk - Senior Executive VP / CLO, Fairwinds Credit Union Episode Transcription:   Paul Jarley:                         This episode has bank robbers, bitcoin, blockchain, and bacon. Maybe those are the four Bs of Fintech? As it turns out, not all of them are a thing. Paul Jarley:                         This show is all about separating hype from fundamental change. I'm Paul Jarley, dean of the College of Business here at UCF. I've got lots of questions. To get answers, I'm talking to people with interesting insights into the future of business. Have you ever wondered, "Is this really a thing?" Onto our show. Paul Jarley:                         I have a murky past. I paid my way through graduate school by teaching macro and micro economics to inmates in a federal penitentiary. How I got that gig is a story for another day. Suffice to say, it's not easy to get into a facility like that. Most of my students were drug dealers, counterfeiters, or tax evaders. My best student was a bank robber. Paul Jarley:                         When I first heard of bitcoin and its alleged underworld origins I thought, "Yeah. Government's gonna shut that down right away. It's not going to be a thing." Some South American countries like Bolivia and Ecuador have shut down bitcoin; many countries in the Muslim world have too. Paul Jarley:                         Countries like China have made it difficult to trade, others like India and Canada have safeguards that keep it out of its banking system. But, here in the United States bitcoin is legal. Why? To answer that question I went to my resident hater of all government regulation. Paul Jarley:                         Well, that's a little harsh. He's the director of the UCF Institute of Economic Competitiveness, Dr. Sean Snaith. Paul Jarley:                         Hey, Sean. Got a couple of questions for you. Sean Snaith:                       All right. Paul Jarley:                         Sean is one of the most recognized people at UCF and his office is just down the hall from mine. Paul Jarley:                         Why are cryptocurrencies like bitcoin legal? Doesn't government have a monopoly on money production? Sean Snaith:                       They do. The thing is, with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies they really haven't infringed greatly on the role of money as the medium of exchange that is official government money. Paul Jarley:                         It's not really legal tender is what you're telling me? Sean Snaith:                       No. I can't be forced to accept bitcoin in payment. Now, if I was willing to, then we do see transactions where bitcoins functioning as the medium of exchange. But, it's not widespread and that's why I think the government is not sort of clamping down on bitcoin in a forceful way. Sean Snaith:                       It's not taking revenue away from the government that the government accumulates by being able to create money, which is a significant amount. Paul Jarley:                         But, what about using bitcoin on a day-to-day basis? Honghui Chen:                  From the time it started, initiated to it really is completely verified is an hour of wait time. Paul Jarley:                         That's Honghui Chen, UCF finance professor and leader of our emerging Fintech program. Hong is explaining that your typical bitcoin transaction takes about an hour to process; t...

Seminar Date: November 4, 2015 at 1:00 pmAbstractOnline discussions are extensively used in online and mixed-mode courses. However, a common concern is that students will minimally participate in order to fulfill the grading requirements, and not truly engage with the content, instructor, or peers. In this session, we will share strategies to create and sustain online discussions that foster critical thinking and student voice. These strategies guide an instructor to effectively design the discussion before it commences, as well as to facilitate the discussion as it progresses, and assess the discussion when it concludes. Specifically, an instructor’s experience of using innovative discussion prompts within Webcourses@UCF will be showcased.PresentersBeatriz Reyes-Foster Ph.D.Assistant Professor of Anthropology College of Sciences University of Central Florida Dr. Beatriz M. Reyes-Foster is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at UCF. Since 2012, she has taught online and mixed-mode classes and regularly incorporates online discussions.
