Summary

With Dr. Bhattacharya likely soon to be sworn in to head up the National Institutes of Health, you'll want to listen to this interview with him.

From the Archives: Originally published June 7, 2022

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is a medical doctor and professor at the Stanford School of Medicine, and has a PhD in economics.
