Speaker 1: It's hard to believe, but Semester four is coming to
Speaker 1: a close.
Speaker 2: I can't believe it.
Speaker 1: This was a huge semester for Dope Labs. We went
Speaker 1: from bi weekly to weekly episodes and we have covered
Speaker 1: so much.
Speaker 3: So for our last two laps of the semester, we
Speaker 3: decided that we were going to get back in touch
Speaker 3: with a few of our favorite guest experts to hear
Speaker 3: updates from their fields. Think of this as like Semester
Speaker 3: four's greatest hits, you know, like when Diddy did Diddy
Speaker 3: and the Bad Boy Family and all of them came
Speaker 3: together and made that Dope album.
Speaker 2: Yeah like that.
Speaker 3: Welcome to Dope, a weekly podcast that makes this hardcore
Speaker 3: science pop culture and a healthy does of friendship.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's get into it. We're going all the way
Speaker 1: back to our first lab of the semester.
Speaker 2: Now it's a long time ago.
Speaker 1: The number was Lab thirty seven then and now we're
Speaker 1: all the way at Lab eighty three.
Speaker 3: Yes, I remember all the way back to Lab thirty seven,
Speaker 3: and it was so exciting because it was our first
Speaker 3: lab back for the semester and it was all about
Speaker 3: science denial.
Speaker 2: And we were in the throes of the.
Speaker 3: Pandemic, seeing a lot of stuff online that just was
Speaker 3: not true about the virus, about the vaccine, and so
Speaker 3: we had a lot of questions about why people were
Speaker 3: falling for what we felt like was the okie doke.
Speaker 3: And so I'm really excited to hear an update from
Speaker 3: our guests and see what they've been up to since
Speaker 3: Lab thirty seven.
Speaker 4: I'm Gil Sinantra, the co author of Science Denial, Why
Speaker 4: it Happens and what to do about it.
Speaker 5: I'm Barbara Hoefer, co author of Science Denial.
Speaker 4: In the year since our book was published and we
Speaker 4: appeared on Dope Labs, Science Denial has not waned.
Speaker 5: What remains deeply disconcerting to us is the number of
Speaker 5: individuals who rely on the opinions of others rather than
Speaker 5: scientific knowledge and expertise, to make uninformed decisions that can
Speaker 5: have deadly consequences.
Speaker 1: You know, when we think about evaluation of science, you
Speaker 1: think about thoughtful, deliberative approaches to examining evidence and assessing
Speaker 1: expertise when somebody is giving you information. But what we
Speaker 1: know is the way we get information, and sometimes information
Speaker 1: and reasoning about science is done through crowdsourcing, and it's
Speaker 1: based on how you feel about the person giving you
Speaker 1: the information, So if they are your friends on Facebook,
Speaker 1: or if it's the beliefs of a social group you're in,
Speaker 1: or however you choose to identify, whatever they're believing, you're
Speaker 1: likely to believe.
Speaker 3: Doctors Hofer and Sinatra also have a few reminders about
Speaker 3: what you can do to address science denial.
Speaker 5: First, vote for those who support science and who base
Speaker 5: related policy decisions on scientific evidence. We will not effectively
Speaker 5: address climate change or the pandemic without leadership that values science. Second,
Speaker 5: enhance your own digital literacy and make sure you're not
Speaker 5: complicent in sharing misinformation. Third, practice listening and communication skills
Speaker 5: and take the risk to talk with those who have
Speaker 5: differing views. This may be especially helpful with the holidays
Speaker 5: coming up.
Speaker 1: You know, we just touched on misinformation in our last
Speaker 1: lab on social media with doctor Jeff Hancock. The problem
Speaker 1: is not going away, it's only growing. And this also
Speaker 1: feels related to Lab seventy five with David mcrainey Can
Speaker 1: you Change Someone's mind? In that lab, we kind of
Speaker 1: explore the group identity the US verse them, and how
Speaker 1: being in a group makes us hold on to certain
Speaker 1: beliefs even if they don't hold up compared to the science.
Speaker 1: Just listen to the disparities that doctor Hofer mentions.
Speaker 5: A July twenty twenty two national survey showed that twenty
Speaker 5: nine percent of Republicans did not plan on getting vaccinated
Speaker 5: more than a year after vaccinations became widely available and
Speaker 5: free to the US public, compared to nine percent of Democrats.
Speaker 5: This disparity has become a significant public health challenge.
Speaker 1: So thinking back to what we learned in Lab seventy five, right,
Speaker 1: you start to see these disparities based on whatever your
Speaker 1: social group in this case political party chooses to believe
Speaker 1: or chooses to follow. So if you have a group
Speaker 1: who says not to vaccines, what does the science tells
Speaker 1: about vaccines That it protects you from death from infectious
Speaker 1: diseases and stuff. And so if your group is saying
Speaker 1: nota vaccines, then you start to see these differences in morbidity,
Speaker 1: in death rate. And that's exactly what we saw with COVID.
Speaker 3: So really, what we're seeing our trends, it's not that, oh,
Speaker 3: if you are a Republican you are biologically predisposed to
Speaker 3: rejecting a vaccine. We're seeing that which is something that
Speaker 3: we've also talked about in other episodes is that your
Speaker 3: social bubble is usually a reflection of who you are.
Speaker 3: So it's usually people who are the same religion, same
Speaker 3: socioeconomic status, same political views, and so these are trends
Speaker 3: that are happening within social circles. You tend to do
Speaker 3: what people from your social circle are doing rather than
Speaker 3: thinking individually, because we all feel a little bit more
Speaker 3: comfortable when we are doing something that is of what
Speaker 3: we feel like our culture, so what culturally fits for us.
Speaker 1: Yes, and it's wild that we're still talking about this
Speaker 1: because LAP thirty seven was a long time ago.
Speaker 3: And since that episode aired, there have been boosters that
Speaker 3: come out to address the new emerging variants of COVID,
Speaker 3: And what the studies are saying is that if eighty
Speaker 3: percent of Americans eligible for the latest COVID nineteen booster
Speaker 3: get vaccinated by year's end, so the end of twenty
Speaker 3: twenty two, it could save about ninety thousand lives and
Speaker 3: more than nine hundred and thirty six thousand hospitalizations.
Speaker 1: And listen, if you take all this information into account,
Speaker 1: you say, yeah, I know how upset we all were
Speaker 1: and how terrible we felt about being at home. But
Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is that only thirty six
Speaker 1: percent of adults older than fifty have gotten their boosters,
Speaker 1: and that makes it really tricky when we consider the
Speaker 1: potential winter surge with the flu and COVID.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: That's a tough mix.
Speaker 3: Right, Joe Biden says the pandemic is over. I don't
Speaker 3: know if the CDC agrees.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden had to come back and clarify his remarks,
Speaker 1: and that should show you even the President can get
Speaker 1: it wrong.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: It's easy to speak casually about what's happening for you
Speaker 1: now or how it feels. Sometimes I don't want to
Speaker 1: look at those cold, hard facts in the mirror. You know.
Speaker 1: It's not specific to the pandemic either. I know you
Speaker 1: called me out all the time when my.
Speaker 2: Now sunk eats. Uh uh.
Speaker 1: When I misinformed today, I said I had stopped interrupting people,
Speaker 1: and TT said, oh wow. I said I had stopped,
Speaker 1: but I'm back, and TT you just said, oh wow,
Speaker 1: I didn't realize you were gone. And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I wasn't. But did I want to hear that?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: Did I spread a misinformation?
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, we're all trying our best. We're trying our best,
Speaker 2: but it's true.
Speaker 3: Misinformation is not just limited to the pandemic. It also
Speaker 3: is still affecting the public's attitudes towards everything from elections
Speaker 3: to climate change. Yes, so go back and listen to
Speaker 3: our first episode from this season, Lab thirty seven, to
Speaker 3: find out more about the psychological reasons for science doubt, resistance,
Speaker 3: and denial, and for more ideas about what you can
Speaker 3: do to promote scientific thinking in general. Okay, so now
Speaker 3: we're jumping ahead just a couple of weeks to Lab
Speaker 3: thirty nine, and that was called ads a Cart where
Speaker 3: we talked to guest expert and author of Arriving Today
Speaker 3: from Factory to Front Door, Christopher Mems. I've been wanting
Speaker 3: to hear from Christopher Mems because I've been seeing all
Speaker 3: kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1: I was in Paris. There was a mustard shortage, particularly
Speaker 1: Dejon mustard. Okay, I saw that there was a tampon
Speaker 1: shortage for a minute. There's also a formula shortage milk
Speaker 1: for the babies.
Speaker 2: We need that.
Speaker 1: We just keep seeing things missing. But then also when
Speaker 1: I go to the stores, the Christmas stuff is out
Speaker 1: with the Halloween stuff.
Speaker 3: Exactly, and I'm just waiting on those curtains that I
Speaker 3: had ordered way back at lap thirty nine.
Speaker 7: Hello. Hello, this is Christopher Mems checking back in from
Speaker 7: the shipping episode. Just a quick update. Since we last talked,
Speaker 7: so much material has flowed through the world's supply chains
Speaker 7: that there is now an oversupply at stores, so you
Speaker 7: can look for discounts at your nearest big box store
Speaker 7: and of course at online retailers.
Speaker 1: When I saw this was happening, I immediately said, oh baby,
Speaker 1: the sales are going to be on and popping.
Speaker 2: I thought the.
Speaker 3: Same thing too, but you know, with every action there
Speaker 3: is an eco on opposite reaction, and that applies in
Speaker 3: this case too. You know, retailers like Target and Walmart
Speaker 3: they're having really big sales before the holiday season just
Speaker 3: to get rid of some of this oversupply that Christopher's
Speaker 3: talking about.
Speaker 7: However, this is not universally good news for the people
Speaker 7: who work in those supply chains, because as the price
Speaker 7: for shipping over the ocean and trucking on our highways
Speaker 7: has crashed inevitably, that means layoffs and the collapse of
Speaker 7: small trucking companies. So as ever, this is a very
Speaker 7: cyclical industry, and what happens is that there's a contraction,
Speaker 7: people get laid off, and then that kind of sets
Speaker 7: us up for the next supply chain snafuo because there
Speaker 7: are not enough people and not enough capacity in that
Speaker 7: pipeline for the next time that we have a pandemic
Speaker 7: or some other issue. And this may be contributing to
Speaker 7: ongoing inflation, which of course we're all feeling in our
Speaker 7: pocketbooks these days.
Speaker 1: Yes, inflation is real. People are also doing their holiday
Speaker 1: shopping earth to avoid the potential rising prices due to inflation.
Speaker 1: And if you're still wondering what inflation is, go back
Speaker 1: to Lab seventy nine, which we did with doctor Vanessa Perry.
Speaker 1: That's about the current US economy and it talks about recessions,
Speaker 1: inflation and interest rates.
Speaker 7: Thank you for the opportunity to check in with you,
Speaker 7: and as ever, this will be an ongoing story. We
Speaker 7: can't forget where everything that we buy and everything that
Speaker 7: we rely on actually comes from.
Speaker 3: I know we've been talking about winter holidays, you know,
Speaker 3: an inflation receession and all these things like that, But
Speaker 3: last time I checked the CBS, the target they have
Speaker 3: put out the Halloween candy, and so that made us
Speaker 3: think about our episode with doctor Marcus Johnson when we
Speaker 3: talked about teeth.
Speaker 6: Hey everyone, doctor Marcus Johnson. Dental specialists just want to
Speaker 6: give a big shout out to the Dope Labs team,
Speaker 6: thanks for bringing me back on just to give you
Speaker 6: guys a few tips or safe and healthy Halloween. For one,
Speaker 6: you have little kids, make sure that they're brushing and
Speaker 6: floshing every night. We don't want those sugar bugs to
Speaker 6: get in there and causing any cavities. And speaking of cavities,
Speaker 6: a great way to keep those out. We already know
Speaker 6: what an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Speaker 6: So go to your local dentists. Make sure that you
Speaker 6: ask for ceilings. They're good for kids and for adults.
Speaker 6: What's happening, what's going on? What's new in dentistry. We
Speaker 6: have the Greater New York Dental Meeting that's gonna be
Speaker 6: happening November twenty fifth through November thirtieth at the Jacob
Speaker 6: Javid Center. All guests are welcome, Registration is free. You
Speaker 6: can go there, walk around, find out about new advancements,
Speaker 6: new products, and new technology within dentistry. Tons of free giveaway,
Speaker 6: and you're gonna learn a lot as well. So hey, everybody,
Speaker 6: stay safe, stay healthy, and go easy on the sweets.
Speaker 6: Take care.
Speaker 1: Some candy is worse for your teeth than others. I
Speaker 1: think that's really important to know. Now you might not
Speaker 1: want to hear this, but chocolate does the least amount
Speaker 1: of damage. I'm not really a chocolate lover, but it
Speaker 1: does damage because it melts away really fast, and it's
Speaker 1: the sticky stuff and the sour stuff that tends to
Speaker 1: stick on your tooth enamel and do more damage. And
Speaker 1: so that's also why I'd like to come out that
Speaker 1: even though I am on Team Dope Labs and we've
Speaker 1: previously voted on this, I still think candy corn is trash,
Speaker 1: trash and dangerous to the teeth.
Speaker 3: Now you're just grasping at straws, y'all just kind of
Speaker 3: come up with reasons for people to stop eating candy corn. No, no, no,
Speaker 3: I will not be tricked. Candy corn is a delicious treat.
Speaker 3: I will brush my teeth afterwards.
Speaker 1: Well I'm glad you will, because what I didn't realize
Speaker 1: is that November first, right after Halloween, is actually National
Speaker 1: brush Day. So go ahead and get your candy corn
Speaker 1: bingje in, but just make sure you're hitting those back
Speaker 1: molars and you're hitting them right.
Speaker 3: I hope everybody's brushing their teeth every day National brush Day.
Speaker 3: Every day's National brush Day in this house, but I
Speaker 3: understand the celebration.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, you see what I have to put
Speaker 1: up with.
Speaker 6: Y'all.
Speaker 1: Let's take a break. When we come back, we'll hear
Speaker 1: from more of our favorite guests and some listeners too.
Speaker 1: Hey tg, hey, Sekia.
Speaker 8: It is me a long time listener Cat. I just
Speaker 8: want to say thanks for all you do. I really
Speaker 8: enjoyed the mind the Gap episode. It just really spoke
Speaker 8: to me as a librarian and everything we see out
Speaker 8: here and how we aren't really all on the same
Speaker 8: age digitally. So thank you guys so much for covering
Speaker 8: all you do. And take care guys.
Speaker 2: That was longtime listener Cat.
Speaker 3: And let me tell you I follow Kat on social
Speaker 3: I think we both do follow Kat on social media,
Speaker 3: and so we are always on top of when she's
Speaker 3: going to different like comic con events, and she does
Speaker 3: cosplay so much fun. I love watching her put her
Speaker 3: outfits together and getting all the pieces and making sure
Speaker 3: everything's just right. I'm like, yes, Cat, you nailed that one.
Speaker 3: And she also listens to Dope Labs when she goes
Speaker 3: for runs, so she runs long distance and she puts
Speaker 3: us in her ears to push her through her run.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's like torture. It's like, ah, let me hurry
Speaker 2: up and finish.
Speaker 1: Kat brought up to Mind the Gap episode that was
Speaker 1: really exploring the differences in internet access in urban and
Speaker 1: rural areas, and even access to devices and being able
Speaker 1: to keep up with this continuously growing digital age. H
Speaker 1: And that reminds me of another episode that was definitely
Speaker 1: a fave for us that touched on cybersecurity with Christina Marilla.
Speaker 3: Yes, and this is such a great topic to bring
Speaker 3: up because the new UK Prime Minister, Liz Trust her
Speaker 3: mobile phone was just hacked. And in situations like these,
Speaker 3: what's at stake for consumers and citizens when those in
Speaker 3: charge of their government gets hacked.
Speaker 9: That's a great question because the fact of the matter
Speaker 9: is that anyone can be hacked, right However, the good
Speaker 9: news is that we are all empowered to protect ourselves
Speaker 9: and each other or our data and our friends and
Speaker 9: families data. So just because someone from the government is hacked. Obviously,
Speaker 9: their third model is a little bit different. They're in
Speaker 9: the public eye, so there are different precautions and just
Speaker 9: you know, steps that they have to take to make
Speaker 9: sure that their technology is secure at all times. Right,
Speaker 9: it's not a one and done thing. Well, as consumers,
Speaker 9: we don't have to rely on like a tech department
Speaker 9: to do that. We can actually do that ourselves.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't have whole team, but I do feel
Speaker 1: like the prime minister of my house, So yes, what
Speaker 1: do I need to do?
Speaker 9: The first thing that we can do is educate ourselves
Speaker 9: and understand what are the things that are at risk? Right,
Speaker 9: So that could be your bank account information, your logging,
Speaker 9: your passwords, basically access to your crown jewels. Right, there's
Speaker 9: so much information out there on how to take steps
Speaker 9: to protect your online accounts, your digital identity.
Speaker 1: And I feel like some of the things that Christina
Speaker 1: told us in our previous episode, right, I tried to implement. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not connecting to every old random Wi Fi.
Speaker 1: I stopped doing that.
Speaker 3: What about those late night poker games and things like.
Speaker 1: That, I'm not doing that. I really I don't remember
Speaker 1: putting that in the episode but now I feel like
Speaker 1: you're telling my business. I'm not playing black jack anymore online,
Speaker 1: and yeah, I'm not doing that, So that's.
Speaker 2: Good, I think for me.
Speaker 3: You told me about duck duck Go, which listen, I
Speaker 3: have seen commercials, I've seen ads, and it just goes
Speaker 3: in one ear and out the other. I never registered
Speaker 3: what duck duck go was, but now I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 3: well that's the place to do all of your searching
Speaker 3: because it's really protected. I feel like they should have
Speaker 3: came with a better name, like, yeah, what was duck
Speaker 3: duck go?
Speaker 2: What are we doing here? How is anybody just to
Speaker 2: know what that is?
Speaker 3: But yes, so duck dug go is definitely something that
Speaker 3: I have implemented into my life to keep my things
Speaker 3: a little bit more secure.
Speaker 1: And my favorite thing about duck dug go is that
Speaker 1: they give a rating to the website so you can
Speaker 1: see the websites that are tracking you the most. And
Speaker 1: I'd just like to point out we're not sponsored by them.
Speaker 2: We just like it.
Speaker 1: Somebody asked me where we sponsored by Yiddy from our
Speaker 1: previous episode on Shape, where I.
Speaker 3: Was like no, And at the end of the episode,
Speaker 3: it goes this episode was brought to you by Yddi
Speaker 3: and Duck Duck Go.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad to know that it's not just me
Speaker 1: and it's not just you taking cybersecurity series. Now, the
Speaker 1: United States government is finally showing up to the party too.
Speaker 1: The State Department just opens the Bureau of Cyberspace and
Speaker 1: Digital Policy in April, and so we got our country's
Speaker 1: first cyber ambassador in September.
Speaker 2: That makes me feel good.
Speaker 1: Now, I don't know what they're doing. I want to
Speaker 1: be really really clear. Yeah, but I feel like it's
Speaker 1: only going to become more and more important. It's people
Speaker 1: start talking about moving to the metaverse, and I just
Speaker 1: saw some people having a conversation in the metaverse and
Speaker 1: having like digital avatars of their entire selves, and I
Speaker 1: was like, that is so cool, But how do you
Speaker 1: keep somebody from hacking a whole you? Now, we talked
Speaker 1: about cyberspace, but we also turned our eye to just
Speaker 1: regular old scary.
Speaker 2: Space everything out there.
Speaker 3: And we had a really great episode with doctor Jordan Bim.
Speaker 10: Hi, Doctor Shodia, and doctor WATTLEE. This is Jordan bim
Speaker 10: Congratulations on your semester finale. I recently started teaching my
Speaker 10: course Explorations of Mars again here at the University of
Speaker 10: Chicago to a mix of space sciences and humanity students.
Speaker 10: Together we explore humanity's long standing fascination with the Red
Speaker 10: planet in history, science and culture. This week in class,
Speaker 10: I told my students to tune in and watch SpaceX's
Speaker 10: launch of the Crew five mission to the ISS. More
Speaker 10: than just another human commercial spaceflight, launch, Crew five is
Speaker 10: the first commercial spaceflight commanded by a woman NASA astronaut
Speaker 10: Nicole Man. And Nicole Man, who is a member of
Speaker 10: the Wylacki tribe, is also the first indigenous woman in space.
Speaker 10: So some really important history in diversifying our human presence
Speaker 10: in space has just taken place. Wishing you both and
Speaker 10: the entire Dope Labs team all the best.
Speaker 2: This was so cool.
Speaker 3: Nicole Man is mission commander and she will be on
Speaker 3: the ISS for the next five months.
Speaker 1: Five months is a long time. I can't even imagine
Speaker 1: what we're going to be talking about in five months.
Speaker 2: Things change so fast.
Speaker 3: I mean just even thinking about this semester and what
Speaker 3: has happened over the last year when we're talking about
Speaker 3: Lab thirty seven, like wow, yeah, it feels like way
Speaker 3: more than a year ago. It feels like ten years ago.
Speaker 1: It feels like a couple months ago. The most important
Speaker 1: thing on my radar, second to COVID was monkey pox.
Speaker 3: Yes, and now it feels like no one is talking
Speaker 3: about it. So we were really excited to talk to
Speaker 3: Kenyon Farah again, who is one of our experts on
Speaker 3: our monkeypox episode.
Speaker 11: Thank you for the invitation to just give you a
Speaker 11: little bit of an update about what's been happening in
Speaker 11: terms of the monkey pox outbreak in the United States.
Speaker 11: The good news is that we've seen really incredible declines
Speaker 11: in monkey pox infections around the country, So this is.
Speaker 3: Really good news on the monkey pox front, as Kenyon
Speaker 3: just mentioned, and an axious report said that in Washington,
Speaker 3: d C. There's been a seventy percent drop in cases
Speaker 3: within the past month.
Speaker 1: Similarly, the Department of Public Health in Georgia also said
Speaker 1: that there was a decrease in new monkeypox cases. So
Speaker 1: it feels like maybe we're turning this thing around.
Speaker 11: But that doesn't mean that we're necessarily out of the woods,
Speaker 11: because we still have a large proportion of the population
Speaker 11: who may be a risk for monkey pox who have
Speaker 11: yet to be vaccinated.
Speaker 3: So what Kenyon says that we need is resources and
Speaker 3: research to help get us out of this potential crisis.
Speaker 3: One of the things that Kenyon says that we need
Speaker 3: is for Congress to fund monkey pox's treatment, vaccine access,
Speaker 3: and research.
Speaker 11: And that includes also funding more of the COVID response,
Speaker 11: which could potentially help us with sort of vaccine distribution
Speaker 11: for both COVID and for monkey pox. Wreever for all
Speaker 11: is requesting that Congress authorized twenty six point nine billion
Speaker 11: dollars as requested by the White House, which includes four
Speaker 11: point six billion for the US global response and nine
Speaker 11: point five billion for research and development for medical tools
Speaker 11: to treat and prevent both of these diseases.
Speaker 1: Kenyon says, the second thing that we should be asking
Speaker 1: for is a very specific research agenda. He looks to
Speaker 1: the CDC and the National Institutes of Health, particularly the
Speaker 1: National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases to answer questions
Speaker 1: about monkey pox that are still urgent and kind of unknown,
Speaker 1: like how long and how well do the vaccines work
Speaker 1: and pre or post exposure, what is the best way
Speaker 1: to use treatments to prevent infection.
Speaker 11: And we also need to know if and where an
Speaker 11: animal reservoir monkey pox is established as a result of
Speaker 11: the current outbreak. So those are some of the things
Speaker 11: that we're requesting from Congress, both in terms of funding
Speaker 11: and a research agenda to make sure that we are
Speaker 11: in fact able to end the outbreak of monkey pox
Speaker 11: and won't see another's fight in the country anytime.
Speaker 1: Soon, understanding that there's still so much work to do,
Speaker 1: even with things trending up. It reminds me of what
Speaker 1: Kenyon said in his episode before when we were talking
Speaker 1: about monkey pox, and that is that infectious disease tends
Speaker 1: to follow lines of structural oppression. And that's what we've
Speaker 1: seen with monkey pox, is what we saw with COVID,
Speaker 1: is what we've seen with HIV. I mean, we just
Speaker 1: keep seeing it with the science all around. We see
Speaker 1: it with sleep disparities.
Speaker 3: Yes, in the sleep episode, doctor Jean Luis was talking
Speaker 3: about how sleep disparities you could see it.
Speaker 2: By zip code.
Speaker 3: People who live in a certain zip code, they have
Speaker 3: these different experiences from others. So when we think about that,
Speaker 3: it's really important that you know, resources are funneled to
Speaker 3: the right places. So the CDC is doing just that
Speaker 3: and setting aside fifty thousand doses of genios facts for
Speaker 3: black and Hispanic men, who account for the majority of
Speaker 3: monkeypox cases but who may have faced barriers accessing the vaccine.
Speaker 2: This was a really good update.
Speaker 1: I so appreciate it hearing from some of our guests
Speaker 1: from this season t T. This semester had a lot
Speaker 1: of episodes.
Speaker 2: Yes, going from bide weekly to weekly.
Speaker 3: We had the labs come in rapid fire, so we
Speaker 3: couldn't just fit everything into one finale. We had to
Speaker 3: have two finale, So make sure that you tune in
Speaker 3: next week where we're giving more updates on some of
Speaker 3: our favorite labs from this season and hearing some more
Speaker 3: feedback from all of you.
Speaker 1: That's it for Lab eighty three. What other episodes do
Speaker 1: you have questions about? And I want to know what
