Welcome to Plenary Session.

I'm your host, Dr. Vinay Prasad.

I'm a practicing hematologist, oncologist, and I'm associate professor of medicine.

I'm interested in issues at the intersection of medicine, oncology, and health policy, and that's what you're going to get on this podcast.

Welcome to Season 2.

On this week's bonus episode of Plenary Session, I am giving a lecture.

This is a lecture I gave to the fellows here many, many, many, many, many months ago,

and it has been languishing in our archives.

But now we're putting it out.

Patreon backers will get access to the slides, which I will try to send you prior to this lecture being dropped.

So you'll be able to follow along, and people who don't support us on Patreon will not.

And thus, it will be very, very difficult for you to understand some of what I'm saying,

but I think you'll still be able to understand much of what I'm saying.

So consider supporting us on Patreon.

And now the bonus episode.

But first, a thanks.

I want to thank those of you who've gone online and support this podcast on patreon.com.

Patreon subscribers get access to the slides from lectures I give on Plenary Session.

I also want to thank the hundreds of you who've gone to the iTunes store and reviewed this podcast.

We appreciate that feedback.

I also want to thank the dozens of you who've written reviews.

A written review goes a long way.
