Episode 2 – Swaroop Bhojani with Adam Hess
In this episode, we sit down with Swaroop Bhojani, owner of the restaurant Hutkay Fusion and former University of Michigan Cancer Researcher. Swaroop is a Ph.D. graduate from the Indian Institute of Science and was a Max Delbrueck Fellow. He continued his post-doctoral work at the University of Michigan, where he was also appointed as a faculty member in the Department of Radiation Oncology. Since the start of the COVID-19 stay-at-home order, Hutkay Fusion has provided free food to shelter homes, safe houses, and displaced workers. Swaroop sat down with his friend and colleague Adam Hess, a Registered Nurse at St. Joseph Hospital, to talk about what we eat, why we eat, and how we can eat better.
