The Most Important Question

112. The Next Pandemic


Listen Later

Oh, when we were young and so naive.

In Episode #9 (!), Quinn and Brian got to know Dr. Nahid Bhadelia, an infectious diseases physician, Associate Professor at the Boston University School of Medicine, and the Medical Director of Special Pathogens Unit (SPU) at Boston Medical Center.

TLDR of the episode was “We should probably prepare for a pandemic.”

FUN STORY.

In Episode #112, Dr. Bhadelia’s back -- and she’s got some big news to share.

But before we get to her announcement (and what it means for society as we know it) -- Quinn’s gotta know: was she as prepared for COVID as she thought? What did she learn? And how can we set ourselves and future generations up to fare, I don’t know, even slightly better next time?

You won’t find a better infectious disease resource than Dr. B, and we’re so thankful she’s come back, now, at the turn of the tide. #gandalf
