Prescott also discusses the new OMRF tower, including its rooftop wind farm, as well as the work and findings going on inside the labs, and the enormous economic impact OMRF has on Oklahoma, according to a news release.

Second segment guests are Dr. Judith James and Dr. Rheal Towner.

James, an internationally recognized physician-scientist and chair of the OMRF Arthritis & Clinical Immunology Program, talks about her research related to auto-immune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis and her role in the creation of the swine flu vaccine.
