Wining About Herstory

Ep57. The High School Dropout Who Discovered Coronavirus & The Only Reason Most of Us Aren't Dead Right Now


Listen Later

This week is all about coronavirus, medicine, and scientific excellence, all fueled by some excellent Marchesi sauvignon blanc wine! First, Kelley gets super topical and tells the unexpected tale of June Almeida, a high school dropout who made a career out of taking pictures of viruses and made an insane discovery! Then, Emily shares the story of Dr. Frances Kelsey who prevented a drug that was leading to infant deaths from hitting the American market! Get your research together and remember, pics or it didn't happen, because we're wining about herstory!
