Hey again! For our 3rd episode of Season 2, we are joined by the talented Dr. Mark Riddle, MD DrPH. Over the course of his career, he has served as a Captain in the US Navy's Medical Corps and done extensive work on pre-clinical and clinical vaccine development, publishing over 180 peer-reviewed publications. He now joins us to discuss the pressing matter of vaccines in an age of declining trust in public health. Our talk covered a broad range of topics, from the process of vaccine development, to the science and efficacy behind mRNA technology, to the matter of political polarization in the COVID era and how we may bridge the divide.
