The magic happens through a clever chemical reaction. When the tablet dissolves, it releases a special reagent that changes color if it detects urinary albumin, a protein that shouldn't normally be present in healthy urine. When your kidneys start having trouble, they begin leaking this protein, and Urify catches it red-handed, literally changing color to alert you. This isn't just a neat science experiment. We're talking about a condition that affects an estimated 800 million people worldwide.

In 2003, when Roman was working at KALW in San Francisco a book called Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach came across his desk. The book was a deeply researched and deeply funny exploration of human cadavers and their contributions to science. Roman booked Mary Roach for her first media interview. Over the years Roach has continued to release some of the funniest science books on the market.
