#15 David Tuller, Holding Research Accountable
The incomparable science journalist David Tuller (https://crowdfund.berkeley.edu/project/42302) shares how he dissects and reports on medical research.

Thank you for doing this
So happy to have randomly found this podcast, prior to this I felt like I was the only medical provider I knew with Long Covid. This podcast is my go to for listening when I am having a flare up and need a comfortable-sounding yet knowledgeable voice going through it with me.
Really helpful
Thank you Dr. Khan for using some of your precious and limited energy on this podcast. It’s really helpful to hear a doctor’s perspective in the midst of so much denial and ignorance and just confusing information.
Highly Recommended
A refreshing and galvanizing multi-topic approach to Long Covid for those new to chronic illness. Dr. Zeest’s podcast touches on how to arrange your life to accommodate LC and communicate with healthcare workers; how to follow government-sponsored trials and funding programs; and how to approach advocacy while preserving your equanimity. The accent is on recovery.
