Hey everyone! Linsey and Quinn are back with a two-part episode featuring a discussion with Dr. Erika Fant, clinical pharmacist, and Dr. Janice Zgibor, pharmacist and epidemiologist. We talk COVID, pharmacy, contact tracing, and more!   (This episode was originally recorded a few weeks ago but we held off on posting it to allow others to focus on the Black Lives Matter movement, but now that COVID is spiking again, we thought it would be a good time to get back in your ears.)    Thanks for listening!

Episode 46 - Epidemiology and Pharmacy

Linsey and Quinn hop on Skype again to discuss the ongoing coronavirus crisis, compare figures from around the world, and contemplate what it means that some states are opening up while others remain closed. It gets weird.

Linsey and Quinn meet again (remotely this time) to discuss the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, including conspiracy theories and how this is affecting marginalized communities especially hard. Hang in there, everyone.

Episode 44 - Pandemic Updates

In this episode, we talk about the virus, the public health response, and how you can help #FlattenTheCurve (and what the hell that means).

Episode 43 - Whoa We're in a Pandemic

If you've been paying attention to anything over the past 15 years, you have probably noticed that vape pens, or e-cigarettes, have become increasingly more popular in the United States. But did you know the first prototype dates back to the 1800s? Learn about this and more as we discuss the history and current science (and controversy) regarding e-cigarettes!

Greetings and happy summer! Today we have an episode about the history of blood donation and transfusions as it pertains to public health, helping people recover from injuries and illness, and why some laws regarding who can donate are still out of date for certain populations, especially the LGBTQIA+ community. Here is the link Linsey referenced regarding the FDA’s request for public comment. The period to submit comments ended in 2016 (we were incorrect in the podcast episode) but we’ll look to see if there’s anything new! federalregister.gov/documents/2016/07/28/2016-17804/blood-donor-deferral-policy-for-reducing-the-risk-of-human-immunodeficiency-virus-transmission-by   Other things referenced: bigthink.com/politics-current-affairs/democrats-gay-blood-donors statnews.com/2016/01/22/paid-plasma-not-blood campusrec.unc.edu/2015/10/the-history-of-blood-donation redcrossblood.org/donate-blood/blood-donation-process/what-happens-to-donated-blood/blood-transfusions/history-blood-transfusion.html

Thank you to everyone who came and saw us at the 2019 Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE) Annual Conference in Salt Lake City! We didn’t do a live show per-se, but rather a roundtable presentation about how podcasts can be a useful tool for communicating to a variety of audiences. We’ll share that info sometime, but for now, sit back and enjoy a story about a pioneer woman who not only was an accomplished doctor and public health champion but also the first female state senator in the U.S. – and an interesting person too!

Episode 38 - Sex Education & Disability

One recurring theme of this show is that people throughout history have used religion and storytelling to explain what was then unexplainable. In today’s episode, Linsey and Quinn discuss Shapona, the Yoruba god of smallpox, and Endovelicus, the god of public health and safety in pre-Roman Lusitania (modern-day Portugal). 2019 is a big year for Viral – stay tuned for some re-releases of popular episodes and a bunch of new topics!
