Black voices matter. Black scientists matter. Black lives matter. We're taking a break from our usual episode releases to promote Black-run podcasts in STEM. Stay tuned, and in the meantime, here's a few organizations where you can donate to help make science more equitable.
<Daily Briefing> -remdesivir data again released by press release. Why is 11 days the magic number they report? Why not 10, 14, 28? -An April paper on masks that suggested they don’t help has been *retracted*. That and your Policy Briefing 👇 and at Brief19.com🙌
Thank you @KEXPNowPlaying <3
