Hello Friends.
We are very excited to release this special episode of the podcast. We are partnering with the Eastern Society for Pediatric Research in honor of the 1st annual medical research conference, taking place March 10-12 2022. ESPR was generous enough to sponsor a giveaway and to put us in touch with Dr. Paul Offit whom we had the pleasure of interviewing for the podcast. We spoke about his most recent book (you bet your life - link below) , scientific progress and how it is perceived by the public. We also spoke about mentorship which was fitted since Dr. Offit will be awarded the Mentor of the Year award from the conference.
Enjoy
