This week on Health Wanted, host Laurel Bristow celebrates her birthday by sharing her origin story, from a wide eyed youth to a voice of public health. Learn about Laurel‘s background and the moments that led to her interest, and then commitment, to research and science. Special guest Pamela, Laurel‘s mother, talks about early signs that her daughter would go on to become the science communicator she is today.
The Q&A kicks off with "What The Health?!" to look at the Secretary of the HHS's recent decision to fire the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), recommendations on making the country healthy, the HHS cancellation of a contract with Moderna, a link between Covid and cancer, methylene blue, cures for cancers, the danger of working in a hair salon, and cholesterol management shows up for "Sick of the Week."
