  • Ep 140 Nipah virus: Of Fruit and Bats

    Ep 140 Nipah virus: Of Fruit and Bats
    May 21 2024
    What does it take to make the WHO’s list of high priority pathogens of pandemic potential? Ask Nipah virus. Extremely deadly with a wide host range and no effective treatments or vaccine (yet), Nipah virus has certainly earned its place on this list. In this episode, we explore where this virus came from, how it can make us so very sick, and the 1998 outbreak in peninsular Malaysia that put Nipah virus on the map. But we don’t stop there! We bring on expert guest, Dr. Clifton McKee, research associate at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health to guide us through the ecological factors that drive Nipah virus spillover events and outbreaks. With Dr. McKee’s help, we explore what a One Health approach to Nipah virus looks like and how it integrates study across animals, humans, and the environment to help predict and control when and where this virus might spill over. Tune in to learn more about this deadly virus that inspired the 2011 movie Contagion. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Special Episode: Dr. Sara Manning Peskin & A Molecule Away from Madness

    Special Episode: Dr. Sara Manning Peskin & A Molecule Away from Madness
    May 14 2024
    We live on the edge. Whether we fail to acknowledge it or try not to think of it, that fact remains true for most of us. A chemical shift, a rogue protein, a marauding molecule - our brains are vulnerable to an array of attacks that could dramatically alter our connection with the world and ourselves. In this episode of the TPWKY book club, Dr. Sara Manning Peskin, MD, MS, assistant professor of clinical neurology at the University of Pennsylvania and author, joins us to discuss her book A Molecule Away from Madness: Tales of the Hijacked Brain. Deeply fascinating, occasionally terrifying, and always empathetic, A Molecule Away from Madness features individual cases of the brain gone awry. Dr. Manning Peskin artfully combines these emotional and personal stories with approachable explanations of how our brains work and historical descriptions of how we gained this understanding.

  • Ep 139 Supplements: “This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA”

    Ep 139 Supplements: “This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA”
    May 7 2024
    Does it seem like the supplement section of your grocery store gets bigger every time you go in? Or that all television commercials these days seem to be advertising dietary supplements that promise to improve your concentration, help you lose weight, make you happier, healthier, smarter, stronger, cooler, poop better or some mix of those? You’re not imagining things. The explosion of the US dietary supplement industry over the past few years is very real, and when you’re inundated with ads for supplements everywhere you turn, it can be very difficult to navigate whether these things actually do what they say and how much they’re allowed to say without actually doing anything. That’s where this episode comes in. We take you through what supplements actually are, how their regulation in the US has changed over the past century, what dietary supplements can and cannot claim on their label, and how the supplement market has fared since the Covid pandemic (spoilers: it’s thriving).

Well Rounded Excellence

So far I am a fan of the Erin and Erin. It’s fun to listen to the banter and wealth of information. They both sound like empathetic and wonderfully intelligent women. I have started from the first episode and am working my way up. Thank you for the entertaining education.

My favorite podcast

I love this fun and informative pod! I always learn a lot about biology and history. The narrators ("the Erin's," since they're both named Erin) are funny and thoughtful.

Infectious podcast!

There’s nothing quite like getting to deep dive into all these infectious diseases without having to do any of the challenging research. Thanks for sharing your hard work, Erin and Erin!
