  • Great PH Resource

    This podcast series is so good for anyone who has an interest in public health and wants to gain a better understanding of what public health entails. I’m wrapping up my public health degree and have turned to this podcast for some great resources. And big bonus that this is a Canadian-based platform.

  • Great podcast

    Love the content and layout of the podcast! Always super interesting topics.

    Only thing I’m not a huge fan of is the continuous music in the background while talking. I find it distracting from the content at times.

    Love the diversity from the regular speakers. It’s a rare occurrence to have a podcast with so many different perspectives in each episode. I have never heard a podcast have 7 people on it. They pulled it off well.

Q: Can you talk about in your work that you've done up to this point, how NIH has contributed to that?
NIH funds various medical disciplines and supports research through grants vital to the success of projects and advances in health.
Why Science Is In Grave Danger & What You Can Do About It

The scalability of solutions is limited but maintaining engagement and trust is essential for broader effectiveness.
Vaccination Against Misinformation
Q: So it sounds cool, but does it actually work like in the way we define in interventions and the level of effectiveness?
