Note:  We’ll be talking about some medical stuff and bodily functions, so if the idea of surgery or medical stuff or talk about menstruation products grosses you out, this is maybe a good episode for you to skip. Alicia Ruthrauff is a product development engineer working for the Secant Group. She’s also a knitter, and we chat about fiber and design and medical uses for textile design.
