Dr. Leticia Bode is a Provost Distinguished Associate Professor at the Communication, Culture and Technology graduate program in Georgetown University and she was the faculty member who prompted toilets as a research topic for our Fundamentals of Technology class (506). “Her research interests lie within an intersection of communication, technology and political behavior,emphasizing the role communication and information technologies may play in the acquisition and use of political information” (Georgetown University, 2021).
    She proposed this technology because of two situations that were occurring at the time when Dr. Osborn asked the professors to pick a topic- she was potty training her three years old child, and she was having issues with a toilet in her house, which she tried fixing. Both of these situations concurred curiosity in Dr. Bode’s mind and led her to suggesting toilets as her technology to research. If you would like to learn more about Dr. Leticia Bode,
