New podcast season tackles U.S. funding cuts and sparks fresh conversations in health and science

In the season’s first episode, Tadrous speaks with Bradly Wouters, executive vice-president, science and research, University Health Network and Adam Bjorndahl, associate professor, department of philosophy, Carnegie Mellon University, about the impact of the Trump administration's cuts to science and research in the U.S. – and the ripple-effect opportunities for Canadian scientists and institutions.

It's a highly charged topic in our current landscape, but one that deserves time, space and insightful discussion, says Tadrous. “Because the way we fund science is not just about labs and grants, it’s about what treatments we can build, and innovations we can make that ultimately shape how we will live into the future.”
