RaDVaC, Vax Populi - Episode 1: Introductions
invidious.snopyta.orgThe first of probably many episodic conversations about and with the Rapid Deployment Vaccine Collaborative (RaDVaC). There's a lot to talk about, but we tried to keep this first episode high level enough, with the notion of dedicating future discussions to deep dives into different aspects of the RaDVaC project, and how we approach the many grand challenges of fixing public and global health in the modern world.
This episode features Dr. Preston Estep (Chief Scientist), Alex Hoekstra (Head of Operations), Ranjan Ahuja (Communications Lead), and Brian Delaney (Clinical Trials Liaison).
