you made it weird with the home

what's happening weirdos this is a recommendation from our dear friend Shane Moss who's recorded

I think four of my favorite episodes of this podcast Shane has his own podcast which is called

Here we are you can learn more about that at here. We are podcast.com. He interviews regularly

the top scientists from all sorts of different fields and this is Nina Feferman who is a mathematical

uh wait I don't know how to say that she studies mathematical models of pandemics that's how you say it

she studies mathematical models of pandemics so she is one of the people currently working on

uh the COVID-19 pandemic she's a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and professor of

mathematics at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville she's the associate director of the one

health initiative and she is the director of math of the mathematical modeling center well that

was that was a lot that was a lot for me to say I'm so tired Lila just went down uh so forgive me if

I sound a little beat I hope you guys are doing okay by the way I was going to alternate do a uh

pandemic episode over Skype and then release something from the back catalog but um honestly Shane called

me and we sort of commiserated about how many people spring breakers aside but them included

seem to be uh uninformed or misinformed about what's going on and um obviously this is very very

important and he said that he had a talk with Nina and was like I think you're going to really

love her and I did I spoke to her today it's only an hour so this is not really a typical uh you

made it weird in the sense that it's short and we don't really talk about um art or god uh this is

a science heavy and a uh fact heavy episode more of an interview obviously still a very special

uh an important conversation that I was so happy to have um so uh I do want to get to it as quickly

as possible no tour dates to plug obviously we are doing another best of you made it weird episode
