Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The story of Dr Wu Lien-Teh
Q: What is the legacy of Dr. Wu today?
The guest emphasizes that medicine and science must guide outbreak responses, with Wu's work serving as a foundational example of how epidemiology, public health infrastructure, and scientific method can save lives during pandemics.
What happened when cannabis was legalised in the US?
Q: Is there evidence that legalization has increased cannabis use or cannabis use disorder?
Yes, there have been increases in adult cannabis use and cannabis use disorder, particularly in states with medical or recreational legalization, but it's not possible to attribute these changes solely to legalization due to multiple interacting factors such as attitudes, availability, and concurrent health trends.
What happened when cannabis was legalised in the US?
Q: What's changed over the last 10, 15 years in the US, and where are we now?
Legalization has progressed unevenly by state, with many states allowing medical use and a substantial subset permitting recreational sales, creating a patchwork where access and regulatory standards vary widely; federally cannabis remains illegal, complicating oversight and research.
Making scientific research work for women
Q: Why do these guidelines exist?
To address the historical exclusion of women from research and ensure relevant data that accounts for sex and gender.
Step counts and health outcomes - 7,000 or 10,000?
Q: How do you shape policy to encourage people to do physical exercise?
It's essential to look at physical activity within context and consider the environment, promoting walkable areas to make physical activity easier.
