Covid19 discussion between 2 scientific experts

2021/09/16

The latest Covid19 discussion was fantastic (and electrifying!). It’s almost like the mirage of a conservative Lawrence Wong debating a more liberal OYK, except these are the scientists. I learnt so much! The interviewer was very competent too. Pls do more of these- I wish we can hear more from scientific experts, not just the MTF, when it comes to Covid.
Great podcast

I think the latest episode about second hand smoke was a episode I thoroughly enjoyed. It was fair, informative, covered both sides of the matter and had a good conclusion. Keep it up!
