One of the things I love about my work in the industry outside of clinical practice is the friendships I've made over the span of my career. I've gotten to meet, spend time with, and make friendships with some of the best minds in dentistry. One those people is Dr. Nate Lawson. I've known him for about a decade and he is an impressive individual.
He is one those people who has some unique gifts. Number one, he is just a 'great human being'. He's one of those people who is personable and funny. He's a great guy to hang out with.
However, Dr. Lawson is also one of the brightest people I've had the pleasure to meet. In all seriousness, he has an incredible mind and an amazing comprehension and knowledge of dental materials. He graduated from the UAB School of Dentistry in 2011, but he was just getting started. He then dug in and obtained a PhD in Biomedical Engineering in 2012.
He now serves as the Director of the Division of Biomaterials at UAB. That means he spends a lot of time in the lab testing, working with, and studying cutting edge dental materials. He's published over 200 peer reviewed articles (which is impressive, trust me) as well as chapters for books.
In addition to his smarts, he also is a great communicator. He's got a real knack for taking complicated subjects and breaking them down into easy to understand concepts. When you listen to him, you'll understand what I mean, but he is one of those people who provide you tons of information you can immediately use to make your dentistry better.
In addition to all of the above, he also works in the UAB Faculty Practice which means that he not only knows a lot, but also understands what things are like from the perspective of the practicing dentist.
Dr. Lawson will be presenting "Materials and Techniques for Anterior Composites" as part of the DPR webinar series on October 22 at 7:00pm Eastern Time. This is one of those events that help you be a better doctor for your patients. You really need to be there!
