On Sunday’s show, I had two fantastic guests to discuss two very interesting topics. In the first half, the Dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston and the Texas Children’s Hospital Endowed Chair in Tropical Pediatrics, Peter Hotez, MD, PhD joined me for an interview to discuss his new book Blue Marble Health.
During the second half of the show, Profounda, Inc CEO, Todd MacLaughlan joined me for an interview to discuss the events leading up to the delivery of the drug to the hospital that contributed to saving the life of Naegleria survivor, Sebastian Deleon.
