    Carryovers Don’t Define You: Honest Conversations for Medical Laboratory Students

    Failure is not an end point but an essential, foundational part of the journey to success. On this episode, Nmesoma and Chinelo are joined by MLS Olanike Victoria, who shares her journey on how embracing setbacks allowed for recalibration, turning mistakes into experience that ultimately leads to stronger, better-informed, and more successful outcomes. This conversation explores how failure acts as a teacher that builds resilience, reveals necessary improvements, and fuels innovation. We hope this encourages you, our dear listeners, to view failure as a sign of progress and effort, not a sign of incompetence. Enjoy!

    What I Wish I Knew as a Medical Laboratory Science Student

    Medical Laboratory Science training comes with a lot of unspoken lessons - things students only figure out along the way. In this episode, Nmesoma and Chinelo discuss common experiences shared by many MLS students, from entering the lab with certain expectations to meeting a very different reality during postings. The conversation covers opinions shared to LabCast by some MLS professionals and harsh realities like pay disparity. This episode is especially useful for students in 200 and 300 level, as well as anyone just entering the programme and trying to understand what training beyond the classroom really looks like. If you're a graduate, you'd definitely relate to the conversation. We hope you enjoy it!

    Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)

    In today’s laboratory landscape, data moves just as quickly as diseases and the tools that manage that data shape the quality of care that follows. In this episode, host Iheoma Nnorom sits with Scientist Samuel Gana, a medical laboratory informatics specialist, to unpack how a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is redefining the way modern labs operate. From seamless sample tracking to workflow automation, data accuracy, reporting, and system integration, the conversation highlights why LIMS is becoming the backbone of efficient and reliable diagnostics. Whether you work in the lab, study the sciences, build health technology, or simply want to understand how digital tools shape modern diagnostics, this episode delivers clear, practical insight into the systems driving the future of laboratory practice.

    Laboratory Practice in Underserved Areas- “Who shall I send?”

    Half of the world’s population lives in rural or underserved areas—yet only a fraction of healthcare workers serve there. Laboratory professionals, vital for accurate diagnoses and outbreak surveillance, are in critically short supply. Globally, the healthcare workforce shortage is projected to reach 10–11 million by 2030, with low-income regions hit hardest. In this episode of Labcast, hosts Oluwadamilola and Jesutomisin sit with MLS Francisca Ekwonu, a clinical laboratory scientist and global health advocate, to ask a pressing question: “Who shall I send?” Together, they discuss the workforce crisis, risks of inadequate lab services, and innovations that could close the gap.

    Sustainability in Laboratory Practice: Building Eco-friendly Laboratories (Practical tips)

    Sustainability in the lab is no longer just a buzzword; it’s a necessity. From energy-hungry equipment to the tons of single-use plastics, medical laboratories have one of the largest environmental footprints in healthcare. But what if we could build eco-friendly labs without compromising accuracy, safety, or efficiency? In this episode of LabCast, hosts Daniel Adekunle and Samuel Gana sit with MLS Maxwell Ebadan to explore practical ways to make laboratories more sustainable. They discuss sustainable waste management, energy conservation, and innovative practices that reduce costs while protecting the planet. Whether you’re an MLS professional, a student, or a healthcare leader curious about the future of laboratory science, this episode offers actionable insights on how we can all play a role in creating labs that are safer, smarter, and more sustainable.
