Quick one. My team tells me we actually have very few reviews relative to the weekly audience

numbers. This is no doubt my fault, as I've always felt a little weird about asking you

to do something for me. But clearly, if you don't ask, you don't get. So if you're enjoying

or Spotify. In doing so, you'll help the show rank higher, which means we can continue

to attract the brightest and most trustworthy people in science. My team and I have big

plans for the show where we want to be in 24 months and we need your help to make this

possible.

a new one. There's no way my son is like, like, total denial. She went and got a new

meter, tested it again, the same result, 16. It was the lowest moment of my life. But

I was diagnosed with this chronic, you know, incurable life long condition with really scary

long-term complications. It was like, okay, it actually happened. I've got diabetes now

and that was it. That's Drew Harrisburg and this is episode number 62 of the Proof Podcast.
