Guests: Canadian astronaut Dr. Dave Williams and Alex Boyd, Toronto Star reporter

The two industries of space and medicine are more closely aligned than we may think, as many of the technologies we use today were first tested in the rigours of space. Can space exploration and research help us find our way through this pandemic and prevent the next one?
