Fabulous last episode @LostWomenofSci Season 5, the inspiring story of Marie Nyswander, who introduced idea of methadone Rx for patients addicted to opiates. As always, it's part-biography, part-social history, and always compelling listening.@katiehafner
Yes! A beautifully told story of a larger-than-life life, and a window into how the technology revolution happened & the central but under-appreciated role of women in it. And, as a bonus, a subtle homage to an epic line on the classic “Pony Remark” episode of @SeinfeldTV.
Excellent thread re: threat posed by BA.2. Only slight disagreement is w/ false negative home tests – they still correlate well w/ infectivity, so if they're neg., risk of spread (at least that day) is low. But his point about false reassurance that "I don't have Covid" is true.
