On today's episode, a conversation about consumer product safety with "professional myth buster" Keith Rhoades. When Keith was a kid, he knew that he either wanted to be an astronaut, or a product safety professional. Grounded here on earth, he has thrown himself into an exciting and productive career in product safety. With a degree in engineering, he landed his first job in the realm of toy safety, and found a career that captured his interest, his skills, and his desire to make the world a safer place. Keith is the founder of the Global Injury Research Collaborative ( https://www.globalirc.org ), a non-profit dedicated to injury prevention through education, outreach, and research activities. As a platform, GIRC enables medical professionals to anonymously report relevant details of injuries that occur in their patients, which supports injury prevention research. Keith is also one of the minds behind a mentorship program for future consumer product safety professionals, run by ICPHSO, or the International Consumer Product Health and Safety Organization ( https://icphso.org/ ). Through this program, Keith has establish relationships with colleges across the country, finding students who are passionate about design, engineering, safety, and public health, and connecting them with the consumer product safety industry. It was through this mentorship program that Marian and Keith first connected, and realized their shared passion for promoting health and safety.
