We start this week's episode by critically examining the new paper titled "Racial/Ethnic Variation in Nasal Gene Expression of Transmembrane Serine Protease 2 (TMPRSS2)" and asking, is it racist? After that, we discuss advances in prostate cancer imaging with two imaging specialists from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Drs. Anton Becker and Sungmin Woo. Finally, we have a far-reaching interview with Dr. Thomas Newman of University of California San Francisco on clinical epidemiology and his new book Evidence-Based Diagnosis: An Introduction to Clinical Epidemiology.
