My guest today, Jacob Cohen, is a cellular molecular biologist, who also has a degree in general chemistry.

He specialises in the niche field of creating names for new pharmaceutical drugs that are being developed and produced. 

This is a man that knows his stuff about viruses. 

After explaining what he does for a living, I quiz Jacob with all the questions I’ve wanted to ask someone with this kind of knowledge. 

Are branded drugs and generic drugs really the same?

He clearly explains what is currently going on with the Coronavirus, how close we are to a cure, and when we can expect to end social distancing. 

Jacob is obviously worried about how easily this virus spreads, but he emphasises how our focus should be on hygiene rather than a vaccine. 

He understands this virus better than anyone else I’ve talked to, and after talking to him I feel like I understand it much better too…
