This special episode is supported by an independent educational grant from Bayer.

This wide-ranging discussion begins with introductions and brief descriptions of the various podcasts, and then the panelists highlight their favorite sessions and events from the 84th Scientific Sessions—the new, high-impact research presented at the meeting, implications for future research, and clinical considerations and take-aways—across the "bench-to-bedside" spectrum of biomedical research, clinical research, and treatment advances. (Please note that anyone who registered for the event can still access the recorded content at ada2024.org until August 26.)
