Clover Food Lab takes a transparent approach to bringing its unique style of vegetarian, fast-casual food to customers. In this episode of Skydeck, we meet Ayr Muir, Clover’s founder, and listen in on a food development meeting testing everything from chocolate to hay straws.
Change, Stat
When COVID-19 patients began flooding ICUs earlier this year, one MBA was at the epicenter, working as an ER doc at Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, New York, one of the city’s hardest-hit neighborhoods.

Keeping the Beat
Musician-activist Kiran Gandhi (MBA 2015) describes the ups and downs of making music under lockdown, sings some lines from her next EP, and explains why she’s hype for the potential virtual audiences offer.

All due credit to our outstanding art directors at EmDash and the photographers at HollenderX2 on this photo. This shot captures the energy of this particular duo and their business. And we still wonder how many takes it required.
