a few people have told me that this podcast sounds incredibly interesting, but that they don't have 3 hours to devote to it. i get it! life is busy. to help out, i have compiled together 19 minutes of the most interesting bits of the episode. hopefully more palatable, especially at 2x speed!

How to design a cancer vaccine (and vastly improve them): Alex Rubinsteyn & Ben Vincent
this is an interview with @iskander and @BenjaminGVincen, two UNC professors. it is three hours of incredibly detailed takes on cancer vaccines, personalized immunotherapy, and how both may be improved in the fullness of time. Alex and Ben are both wellsprings of knowledge and this was a very, very fun episode to film; i expect it could've gone on for an hour longer. enjoy!
