E2. Physicians as science educators in the COVID era
Welcome to Episode 2 of Teaching Science, a podcast dedicated to exploring scientific literacy, and ways to improve it in the world we live in. My name is Anant, I’m a third-year medical student, and I’m your host. In today’s episode, we explore the role of physicians in educating patients, and what one particular physician’s experience is in combating misinformation in his community, about COVID, but also beyond. Our guest today is Dr. Brent Reifsteck, an in-patient pediatric physician and leader at Carle Foundation Hospital in the Urbana, Champaign community in central Illinois.

Citations: The Moderna Phase I Clinical Study
Citations is a sub-podcast of Teaching Science, with the objective of exposing listeners to a thorough analysis of primary science sources. In this episode, I break down a very important paper published on November 12, 2020, in the New England Journal of Medicine by the mRNA 1273 Research Group that investigates the mRNA vaccine by MODERNA against the SARS-C0V2 virus in a phase-1 clinical trial. Listen to me reading crucial components of the paper and explain what they did, why it's important and what's coming next in the vaccine world.
