Show Notes
We invite STAT’s senior writer for infectious diseases, Helen Branswell, and Washington correspondent Chelsea Cirruzzo on to the podcast to discuss the latest news at the CDC. The agency is in the spotlight once again, after the Senate grilled the potential head of the agency at a confirmation hearing and its federal vaccine advisory committee met for the first time after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired its existing 17 members and installed a new, smaller panel.
We also discuss the latest news in the life sciences, including data presented at last weekend’s American Diabetes Association research meeting. We also squeeze in some conversation about summer blockbusters. (Check out Adam’s "Jaws" Lego set here).
