What the Tech? is a podcast powered by the Computer Science Department of UCalgary. Here to deconstruct complex computer science concepts, and explain what the tech’s going on?  On this episode, we talk to Joel Reardon, an assistant professor at the UCalgary Computer Science department whose main research focuses on security and privacy. In our conversation with Joel, we talk about the basics of security, how it relates to working from home, and the idea of contact tracing.  If you enjoyed today's episode, make sure to subscribe on whatever platform you're listening on.
