Listen: Anti-science at the polls, a biotech odd couple, & the stakes of the midterms
Can Covid denialism get you elected? How is the music business like biotech investing? And what’s at stake for science in the midterms?
We cover all that and more this week on “The Readout LOUD,” STAT’s biotech podcast. Our colleague Sarah Owermohle joins us to discuss how pandemic shutdowns, Covid-19 vaccines, and the prospect of arresting Anthony Fauci have become campaign rallying cries in midterm elections. We also discuss the latest news in the life sciences, including the potential effects of federal drug-price negotiation and the virtues of befriending Pharrell Williams.
