1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Anny and Samantha and welcome to Stuff

2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: I Ever Told You production. I Heart you, and welcome

3
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: to another classic Today we are bringing back one on

4
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: women and modern medicine. Unfortunately, this has been on my

5
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: mind a lot because we are seeing a lot of

6
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: misinformation and dispreparation around health in the United States. I

7
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: have a lot of friends who work with governmental health

8
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: organizations that have been impacted by all of these things,

9
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: So it's just been something on my mind. I know,

10
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 1: we talk about vaccines and here and things like that,

11
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: so it's something that is a big part of our

12
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: conversations we're having right now. So that being said, please

13
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: enjoy this classic episode. Hey, this is Annie and Samantha.

14
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 1: I come to staphone never told your protection of iHeart

15
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: Radio SD Samantha. Today, I have a two part question

16
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: for you. I think we've already talked about the first one,

17
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: but were you ever interested in a career in medicine?

18
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? Actually I started out my college career with the

19
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: idea that I was going to be pre med. I

20
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: knew I was going to be pre med. It also

21
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 2: went along without wanting to be a missionary. But I

22
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: wasn't going to be a missionary without being actually helpful

23
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: and actually saving lives hopefully. And then as I started

24
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,919
Speaker 2: doing all of my medical courses slash all of the sciences,

25
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: I realized how bad I was at that and I

26
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: barely passed chemistry, and I was like, let me find

27
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: another way to help.

28
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: What was your goal? What was your how are you

29
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: envisioning at working in that field.

30
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 2: I was envisioning becoming a general practitioner, being able to

31
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: co out in service and travel and help communities. I

32
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 2: was thinking, you know, obviously traveling abroad where there's less access,

33
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 2: and I wanted to really be helpful. Probably doctors without

34
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: borders would have been my route m h and all that,

35
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: thinking that I would be poor and hopefully you know,

36
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: going out in the world and helping. That was what

37
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: I was envisioning.

38
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: I see, I see, I see, Okay. And the second

39
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: part of my question is are you or were you

40
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: ever big into like medical TV shows?

41
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, I think I got caught up

42
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: an er for a little while, and maybe it was

43
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: the soap opera bit that I liked George Clooney. Who

44
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: doesn't love George Clooney at that point in time, But

45
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 2: I did watch that for a little while. Scrubs really

46
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 2: really enjoyed Scrubs. Who doesn't love people being self hating

47
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: as well as saving lives and having some heart?

48
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: You know?

49
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, I did you?

50
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: Yeah I didn't really, but I did. I loved Scrubs

51
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: and to this day, like I can quote Scrubs. I

52
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: have the soundtrack. I was a huge Me and my

53
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: friend group, we were really into Scrubs and it's funny,

54
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: like one of my favorite episodes is the episode where

55
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: they make fun of House, and I'd never seen House,

56
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: so I didn't get half the jokes, but I still loved.

57
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: I'd watched a few episodes of House and I didn't

58
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: get too caught up in that. But yeah, I did

59
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: you talk about soundtrack? I have to know have you

60
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: watched any of it streaming since the original?

61
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: I mean I owned the DVDs, so.

62
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: You haven't watched it streaming because they changed some music

63
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: I don't know, share or whatever. But because I watched

64
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: it so much, I knew what music would win, And

65
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: now watching it on streaming, I'm like, wait that, Yeah,

66
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: that's not how that goes.

67
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, Samantha Supernatural, A lot of those

68
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: songs and not the same, and I'm always like, no, See.

69
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: That's the one blessing that I do have is I

70
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: don't know that you.

71
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: Can't Yeah, you can't compare, that's true.

72
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: But with Scrubs I did because I was in that

73
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 2: Netflix era of getting the DVDs. Yeah, oh yeah, and

74
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 2: I would watch all the Scrubs through Netflix subscriptions and

75
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: now comparing it to our streaming network and the fact

76
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: that songs have changed, like it, it's so notable that

77
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 2: it distracts me from the rest of the show.

78
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, music is a really big part of that

79
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: show exactly.

80
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, of course.

81
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: Of course, that's why I got a sound dressed. They're

82
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: so good.

83
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 3: I remember when was it Gray's Anatomy and Scrubs both

84
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 3: had an episode in the same week that had the

85
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: phrase how to save a life and people were arguing

86
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 3: about who used it better.

87
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: But the scripturally used it for like a split second

88
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 2: of like, no, not that song anyway. Are we talking

89
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: about this because I keep talking about.

90
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: That's for shured probably so to me. We're going to

91
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: talk about women in medicine, and specifically modern medicine because

92
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: more and more people are getting the vaccine, which is

93
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: very exciting. Yes, And yeah, we wanted to highlight some

94
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: of the more recent accomplishments of women in this field.

95
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: And yeah, we've done episodes on women in nursing and

96
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: medicine before, also women's pain being dismissed on the other

97
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: side of that. But we wanted to showcase some women

98
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: that you might not have heard of doing some really

99
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: amazing things in the field of modern medicine.

100
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 2: Yes, and we're all about giving flowers to those that

101
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: are still with us today, Yes, but we wanted to

102
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: start out with some numbers.

103
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

104
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: So throughout history and despite obstacles, women have been behind

105
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 2: medical innovations around blood transfusions, organ transplants, and all a

106
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 2: lot of areas in reproductive health, says, the medical field

107
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: has long ignored women. Women, of course, have had to

108
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: make do for themselves.

109
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: Yes, and while there are still disparities in terms of

110
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: gender and race in the medical field, more and more

111
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: women are entering it and shaping it at all levels

112
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: and professions. Numbers from twenty fifteen indicate that in the

113
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: United States, one third of active physicians are women, half

114
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: of all new medical graduates are women, eighty eight percent

115
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: of nurse practitioners eighty three percent of nurses and sixty

116
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: three percent of physician assistance. We've also talked about how

117
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: women in medicine are more likely to experience issues around burnout,

118
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: wage gap, discrimination, lack of mentors, maternity leave, and toxic environments,

119
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: among other things, which are all issues that need to

120
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: be addressed and also not isolated to the medical field.

121
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: But definitely a lot of articles, especially during the pandemic,

122
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: have been written about burnout in particular, so that is

123
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: something that we need to keep an eye on. But

124
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: all right, let us start our list of women with

125
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: doctor Kismechia Corbette or doctor Kizzy Corbett.

126
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 2: Who is a great Twitter followed by the way, if

127
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: you haven't started following her, she's fantastic.

128
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: You should follow her absolutely. She is a thirty four

129
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: year old black woman who has been at the forefront

130
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: of the fight against COVID nineteen. Corbett is one of

131
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: the top scientists working on who has been working on

132
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: a COVID vaccine for the National Institutes of Health. She

133
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: and her team worked with pharmaceutical company Maderna to pioneer

134
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: an mRNA vaccine, and this is a vaccine that has

135
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: an efficacy rate of over ninety percent. Recently, when doctor

136
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: Anthony Fauci was asked about the input of African American

137
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: scientists on the vaccine, Fauci responded, the very vaccine that's

138
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,559
Speaker 1: one of the two that has absolutely exquisite levels ninety

139
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: four to ninety five percent efficacy against clinical disease and

140
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: almost one hundred percent eficcy against serious disease that are

141
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: shown to be clearly safe. That vaccine was actually developed

142
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: in my institute's vaccine research Center by a team of

143
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: scientists led by doctor Barney Graham and his close colleague,

144
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: doctor Kismikia Corbett r Kizziy Corbett Kizzy is an African

145
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: American scientist who's right at the forefront of the development

146
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: of the vaccine. Doctor Corbett's talent, determination, curiosity, and empathy

147
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: manifested from a young age, and she secured awards and

148
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: monetary funding for her university studies, and she got a

149
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: spot as an intern at the National Institutes of Health.

150
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: For her PhD, she studied immunology and microbiology while also

151
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: working as a research assistant studying viral infections. In twenty fourteen,

152
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: she took a post doc position at the NIH's Vaccine

153
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: Research Center. In January twenty twenty, doctor Corbett received an

154
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: email from one of her coworkers basically telling her and

155
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: her teammates to buckle up that their training was about

156
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: to be put to use, and yes, yes it was.

157
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: It was.

158
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: Oh got Yes. Doctor Corbett has spoken about her experience

159
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: as a black woman, a doctor and the importance of visibility.

160
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: I felt like it was necessary to be seen and

161
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: not to be a hidden figure, so to speak, she said.

162
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: I felt that it was important to do that because

163
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: the level of visibility that it would have to younger

164
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: scientists and also to people of color who have often

165
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: worked behind the scenes and essentially who have done the

166
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: dirty work for these large efforts towards a vaccine. This

167
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: person who looks like you has been working on this

168
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: for several years, and I also wanted it to be

169
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: visible because I wanted people to understand that I stood

170
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: by the work that I'd done for so long as well.

171
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: And she's also been really vocal about the disproportionate impact

172
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: of COVID on black communities, and I think every woman

173
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: on here we could do a whole episode on like

174
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: we're doing kind of a brief bio in these but

175
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: her story is really inspiring and fascinating. And also Maderna

176
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: is the vaccine that I am getting. So also by

177
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: Dolly Pardon, Yes, that was a legitimate reaction to.

178
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 2: So many good things that And yeah, doctor Corbett has

179
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: also been keeping a kind of thread on her Twitter

180
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 2: about her presenting about the vaccine and she has been

181
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: a really big proponent in talking to the black community

182
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: about what the vaccine is. And because let's be honest,

183
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 2: there's a lot of distrust when it comes to medicine

184
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: in the black community. Rightly so, yeah, rightly so, and

185
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 2: they should be suspicious and I would be suspicious. I

186
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 2: am suspicious sometimes, I mean for sure. But she has

187
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: been on the forefront and trying to talk about it

188
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 2: and how it is important and what she did and

189
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: making sure that this vaccine was safe and also that

190
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 2: it was accessible. So kudos to doctor Corbett. And now

191
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 2: we want to move on to doctor Rachel Sneersen born

192
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: in Warsaw, Poland in nineteen thirty two, who earned her

193
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: medical degree from Hadasa Medical School at the Hebrew University

194
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 2: in Jerusalem, and she was best known for her work

195
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 2: on the Himophilus influenze type B or hib which is

196
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 2: a bacterium that was one of the principal causes of

197
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 2: meningitis and pneumonia and responsible for over three million serious

198
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: illnesses and over three hundred and seventy five thousand deaths

199
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: in children around the world. She came to work as

200
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: an instructor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine for

201
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 2: the Department of Pediatrics and the Laboratory of Imminology. There

202
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: she met doctor John B. Robbins, who would move on

203
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: to the Division of bacterial Products in nineteen seventy four

204
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: and then came back round to the National Institute of

205
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: Child Health Development or the NICHD in nineteen eighty three,

206
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: and it was during this time doctor Schneerson and doctor

207
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: Robbins were able to help create the vaccine through use

208
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: of conjugates, which helped make the vaccine safer and more

209
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: effective for younger children and as young as I believe

210
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: two months old, and this process of conjugating would later

211
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: be used to help create other vaccines for diseases such

212
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: as whooping cough, typhoid, and certain types of malaria, in

213
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: even anthrax, and through her work she has received many

214
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 2: different awards such as the Albert Laskar Clinical Medical Research

215
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 2: Award in ninety six, the World Health Organization Children's Vaccine Initiative,

216
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 2: Pastor Award, Infectious Disease Society of American Citation Award, and

217
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 2: was also elated to the NICHD Hall of Honor, and

218
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: she was eventually named as head of the Section of

219
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: Vectial Disease, pathogenicis and Immunity with doctor Robbins and finally

220
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: retired in twenty twelve. Wow.

221
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a lot of awards.

222
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 2: They saved a lot of lives and yet, by the way,

223
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 2: the disease is fairly pretty much eradicated and has not

224
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 2: been seen by the new medical field that they have

225
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: not seen it since then.

226
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: Dang, Well, we have some more women we want to highlight,

227
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: but first we have a quick break for word from

228
00:12:45,640 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: her sponsor. Am were back, Thank you sponsor. Okay, So

229
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: now let's talk about Mary Geynan. Her story is amazing.

230
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: I can't believe I hadn't heard it before. So after

231
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: earning her PhD in physiology, graduating from John Hopkins University

232
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: School of Medicine, and completing a residency, Doctor Geynan began

233
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: working at the Centers for Disease Control of Prevention in

234
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy four, and this is when only ten percent

235
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: of medical graduates were women. She started out in the

236
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: Epidemic Intelligence Service or the EIS, which is often described

237
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: by her too as the Medical FBI, where she studied

238
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: global disease outbreaks. She was the only woman of thirty

239
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: nine physicians. Through this, she helped out on a smallpox

240
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: eradication campaign and for her work, the World Health Organization

241
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: awarded her the Noble Order of the Bifurcated Needle in

242
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy six. What a name, I tell you what

243
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: the name. But all of this was after her application

244
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: to volunteer with india smallpox eradication program was denied twice.

245
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: She was told it was because the World Health Organization

246
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: and India weren't really looking for women to volunteer. Thank you.

247
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: So Guynan asked if India's Prime Minister at the time,

248
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,719
Speaker 1: who was a woman, knew about this. And after that,

249
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: after Guidan was like, asked about that, and then she

250
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: was like, let me speak to your manager. She was

251
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: given a spot on the Operations Smallpox zero team and

252
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: apparently an elephant became a part of their effort for

253
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: transport over flooded rivers. I really wanted to go way

254
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: in depth into this, and I was like, Annie, we

255
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: have to make this one episode. At the time she

256
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: started researching sexually transmitted diseases. She went back to the

257
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: CDC two years later in nineteen seventy eight, to work

258
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: in the Veneural Disease Control Division as a clinical investigator.

259
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: Do her work in this field, she became known as

260
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: a national expert on genital herpes, which happens somewhat accidentally.

261
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: The media sometimes called her doctor Condom or doctor Herpes.

262
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: She basically she appeared in an interview where the chiron

263
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: below her was like std expert and she did not

264
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: know what was going to say that, and then every

265
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: other news outlet contacted her. It was like, we need

266
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: you to come talk about this. She was worried about

267
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: the reaction of her religious conservative mother when appearing on

268
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: TV to discuss sexually transmitted diseases. Apparently her mother never

269
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: even said sex, but after watching her on sixty minutes,

270
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: her mother allegedly said, congratulations, dear, your hair looked very nice.

271
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: Such a mother.

272
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 2: Mother thing to do.

273
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't want to touch on these other subjects.

274
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: But your hair looks good.

275
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: It's wonderful.

276
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And guy didn't even turned down that appearance

277
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: on sixty Minutes because she was kind of frustrated with

278
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: the media's coverage of STDs sdis and also she was

279
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: worried about her mother, but the CDC pressured her into

280
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: doing it, and she once said after reporter asked her

281
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: if you could get AIDS from a toilet seat quote,

282
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: the only way that I know you can get AIDS

283
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: is if you sit on it before someone else gets up. Yeah.

284
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: She was full of those kind of comments. Doctor Gynan

285
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: attempted to draw attention to the AIDS epidemic in the

286
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: nineteen eighties, but found that the media was reluctant to

287
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: cover it since early reports seemed to suggest it mainly

288
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: impacted the homosexual community. She, along with the CDC, worked

289
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: to raise support awareness around AIDS. Doctor Geyan set up

290
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: the CDC's AIDS Task Force. Because of her work, she

291
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: was promoted in nineteen eighty four to the CDC's Associate

292
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: Director for the Division of Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and she

293
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: became the CDC's first female Chief Scientific Advisor From nineteen

294
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: ninety to nineteen ninety five, she acted as Chief of

295
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: Evaluation for the country's HIV prevention program. She's a founding

296
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: d at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas School of

297
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: Public Health and has done extensive research into childhood leukemia.

298
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: Her work with AIDS was the topic of the book

299
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: and later HBO documentary and the band played on. Apparently,

300
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: she is only in one scene in the movie, where

301
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: she is baking a cake. Guynan said of this, they

302
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: didn't know how to portray a woman scientist. In twenty sixteen,

303
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: she published the book Adventures of a Female Medical Detective

304
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: in Pursuit of Smallpox and AIDS. Wow, that's a great title.

305
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: I know. I want to read it.

306
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: I want you.

307
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm ready.

308
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: Let's get it. Maybe a book club, yes, think about

309
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: how that would translate to a book club. But and

310
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: next we're going to talk about Julie Linn Wong. Doctor

311
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: Wong not only is a physician and public health specialist,

312
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 2: but she is an expert in robotics and space medicine.

313
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 2: The Harvard and educated doctor has made history by combining

314
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: her knowledge of robotics technology with my medicine. In twenty eleven,

315
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 2: doctor Wong founded the three D four MD with the

316
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 2: idea of using three D printers, solo powered and easily

317
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: portable to print healthcare supplies in remote communities, and by

318
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: creating affordable three D templates, it would help create low

319
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: cost medical supplies on demand. And it's so small it

320
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 2: can fit into a carry on bag for easy travel

321
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 2: from global areas that are hard to get to to

322
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 2: even space. Dumb, dumb, dumb, that's so cool, right, And

323
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 2: speaking of space, doctor Wang was selected to participate in

324
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 2: a thirty days simulated mission at NASA's Johnson Space Center

325
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: in honor of the thirtieth anniversary of the Space Shuttle

326
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: Challenger tragedy. Wong served as the mission's flight engineer, and

327
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: then in twenty seventeen, astronauts actually used a three D

328
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 2: printer for medical supplies using her blueprints from three D

329
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 2: four MD, so they were able to actually create like

330
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 2: finger splinters and all of that while in space, which

331
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 2: what I know. And by the way, my partner, who

332
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: loves three D printers and has three, was very excited

333
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 2: when I started talking about this, and she didn't stop there.

334
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 2: She founded the Medical Makers, which is a network to

335
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 2: bring others to build and use their skills and creativity

336
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 2: to continue to fight for humanitarian issues and build sustainable

337
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 2: solutions through technology all over the world.

338
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: I love this. I feel like that's another great example

339
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: of when you specialize in a thing, like, don't limit

340
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: yourself to that one field, right, it can work in

341
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: different spaces.

342
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 2: And also she seems to be the overachiever that I'm

343
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: scared of that. I'm like, oh my god, You're the

344
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 2: one everybody talks about that can do everything.

345
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: Don't be scared. Don't be scared. We do have a

346
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: few more women we want a spotlight, but first we

347
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: have one more quick break for word from a sponsor,

348
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: a fact thank you sponsored.

349
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: And earlier in the episode, we talked about the amazing

350
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 2: works doctor Corbett did that helped develop Maderna, but we

351
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 2: also wanted to look at the biologists that laid down

352
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: the groundwork to help develop that, as well as the

353
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 2: Pfizer Biointech vaccine, which is doctor Katie Courico and doctor

354
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 2: Perico originally came from Hungary, moved to the US in

355
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 2: her early twenties, and though she's now being recognized for

356
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 2: our titleist work, she was barely making it through in

357
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 2: the world of academia until recently, and like me in

358
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: the field, she had difficulty in getting both funding or

359
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: even being properly compensated for her work. As a colleague

360
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 2: stated quote, when your idea is against the conventional wisdom,

361
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: that makes sense to the star chamber, but it's very

362
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 2: hard to break out. But today she's being recognized for

363
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 2: her breakout studies in mRNA, which is the quote genetic

364
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: script that carries the DNA instructions to each sales protein

365
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 2: making machinery. Just to give an next one. And thanks

366
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 2: to her continued work with mRNA, she has helped create

367
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 2: a path to these different vaccines. And doctor Vacci stated, quote,

368
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,479
Speaker 2: it has already transformed COVID nineteen, but also other vaccines HIV,

369
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: and people in the field are excited influenza, malaria, and

370
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 2: he's talking about how it's going to help create vaccines

371
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: for these different things. And doctor Carico never held back.

372
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 2: She was known for her intensity and dedication in working

373
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: on her research. Her husband talked about how she was

374
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: constantly working, whether it was night and day or even

375
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 2: the weekend, and he actually broke down her pay as

376
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 2: being less than a dollar an hour. For all the

377
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 2: time she has been on it, but apparently she just

378
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: didn't care about the money. It was about her work.

379
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: She earned her PhD at the University of Sega, then

380
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,719
Speaker 2: moved to Philadelphia in nineteen eighty five to continue her

381
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 2: research at Temple University, and she did continue throughout her career,

382
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 2: though she would be rejected and continually overlooked. She worked

383
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 2: with different colleagues and different avenues until finally she and

384
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: doctor Weisman were able to show progress in their work

385
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 2: were able to get grants from both Maderna and Biointech,

386
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 2: and on November eighth, the testing showed that the mRNA

387
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 2: that she's been studying actually offered powerful immunity to COVID nineteen,

388
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: and she and doctor Weisman were able to get their

389
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 2: vaccine publicly during a press conference on December eighteenth of

390
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, and she was applauded as well as he

391
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 2: was by their peers when they made the announcement, Hey,

392
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 2: the people who helped create this vaccine is here. So

393
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 2: they were given a round of applause by their coworkers,

394
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: and she apparently celebrated with just the box of goobers,

395
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: which she ate all by herself. Not really sure why

396
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: that was the way they put it. I guess maybe

397
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 2: she wasn't able to And she told her husband that

398
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 2: it worked, and her response was I thought so. I

399
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 2: thought that was really fun because it just seemed like

400
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: she had been working so hard, to the point that

401
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 2: she had changed hands essentially of who was working with

402
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 2: her and her advisors, and she never stopped. Even people

403
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 2: were like, this is not working. We don't care, she

404
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 2: believed yeah, and because of heart, we were able to

405
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 2: get a vaccine so quickly.

406
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I think because there's been some publicity obviously

407
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: about people who have been working on the vaccine, and

408
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: so stories about her have come out recently, and I

409
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: feel like she really wants an HIV vaccine, Like that's

410
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: what is.

411
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 2: Right driving her. Apparently, during one of her conversations with

412
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 2: one of her staff members that she was working with,

413
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 2: said can you get a vaccine for HIV? She's like, yeah,

414
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 2: I can do that, and she has and I think

415
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 2: she continued to work for that. So that's amazing.

416
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, very determined. So now let's end with doctor Francoise

417
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: Barre Sinoussi, who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or

418
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: Medicine in twenty eighteen quote for their discovery of human

419
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: immuno deficiency virus. Born in Paris, France, in nineteen forty

420
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: seven at doctor Barret Sinusi loved nature from a young

421
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: age and in her words, her path was determined largely

422
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: by what her and her family could afford. She's started

423
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: volunteering at Paris's Institute Pasteur, and by nineteen seventy five

424
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: she had earned her PhD. In nineteen eighty three, she

425
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: along with Luke Montaigner, discovered the retrovirus that would later

426
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: be called human immuno deficiency virus or HIV, which has

427
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: proven to be the cause for AIDS. That year, she

428
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: was the first author on the paper that reported on

429
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: this discovery. She'd been researching retroviruses since the nineteen seventies.

430
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: She headed up her own lab at the Institute Pasteur

431
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty eight, where she launched several programs looking

432
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: into HIVAIDS, including vaccine research. She is in charge of

433
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: the Regulation of Retroviral Infection unit at the Institute Pastor

434
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: in Paris, where she's also emeritus professor. She was elected

435
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: to the French Academy of Science in two thousand and nine,

436
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: and from twenty twelve to twenty fourteen she became President

437
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: of the International Aid Society. She's been prolific when it

438
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: comes to paper as well, authoring or co authoring over

439
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy original publications and lots lots of

440
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: lots more. Her discovery and part led to the development

441
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: of life saving drugs that saved millions of lives. However,

442
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: more than thirty eight million around the world live with

443
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: HIV and not all of them can get treatment. So

444
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: doctor Barra Senu C's work continues as well, which I

445
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: think I feel like we see in all of these

446
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: women this dedication and determination and just to say, I

447
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: know that we didn't always put the doctor before their name,

448
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: but it's there. The respect is there. Respect. Honestly, this

449
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: is amazing. We're talking about.

450
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 2: The amount of achievement that they've done, the amount of

451
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: work and blood, sweat and tears. I can't imagine that

452
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 2: they've had to do and even to fight to be

453
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 2: there and to be hard. Yeah, and the fact that

454
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: they had to work to be taken seriously and continue

455
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 2: to have to work to be seen even is a

456
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 2: whole other conversation yeah.

457
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: Level of impact they've had on our everyday lives, often

458
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: unnoticed or unspoken about, is really it's amazing the work

459
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: that they've done. We could definitely go further in depth.

460
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: Let us know about something you want, and we know

461
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: there's so many more stories we could talk about, so

462
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: if you have any suggestions, as always, please send them
