Why are Malaria Vaccines so hard to make? + Thoughts on Public Health and Fencing
Find session no.6 with Lawrence Wang. He is a MD-DPhil candidate at UCSD and Oxford with work affiliated with the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has written for Med School Insider, and is a blues foil fencer.
Hear about a £30,000 antibody isolation experiment and the difference between vaccines for COVID-19 and malaria! In 2020, an estimated 627,000 died from malaria, 80% of which are children under 5 years (UNICEF 2020). His work is very important to global health!
We also talk about fencing, private sector drug shops and public health in Uganda and many others! Please check it out and share with anyone else that you think might be interested! Timestamps are in the description for your use!
We have previously had guests on to discuss everything from nanomaterials to lego design to rocketry.
