Every Thursday evening from 6 to 7 pm, after *NPR*‘s “All Things Considered,” [*WDIY 88.1 Lehigh Valley Public Radio*](https://www.wdiy.org/#stream/0) airs “Lehigh Valley Discourse,” a “provocative, informative and newsworthy \[show that\] brings you the people and the issues that move and shape our region.”

*Lehigh Valley Discourse* rotates its hosts weekly. On January 31st, **Rhea Malhotra ’20** hosted their new quarterly series “Teen Scientist.” Rhea interviewed **Isha Mohapatra ’19** about her multi-year project to create bricks that are as strong as and more energy efficient than the industrial standard clay brick for use in home and building construction.
