It’s interesting until they get into DEI.
Such a great podcast. Making immunology more accessible for the masses, but also just increasing the accessibility of immunology among scientists who may not have a regular immunology journal club to attend. I love hearing everyone’s perspectives on the papers presented and I love “seeing” how new findings inform the way we see a field. So important to demonstrate the scientific process in real time. Thank you all!
Only wish episodes were more frequent
I am glad and also regretful to find this great podcast just lately! Keep up this great work. Thank you.
This is the podcast channel I like the most among the podcast channels Dr. Racaniello created. Very informative and educational. Thanks for your efforts to spread the knowledge to public, scientists and students.
