Weekly Rounds was a podcast that I created and cohosted.
We showcased clinical stories from peer reviewed research publications, scientific meetings, and medical topics of note. A showcase of some of my favorite episodes is listed below.
Our team researched and presented clinical stories described by experts in the medical field.
We interviewed researchers, policymakers, ethicists, and clinicians on topics like intermittent fasting, medical cannabis, and the COVID-19 outbreak. In each episode, we structure dour discussions around the scientific and personal narratives behind the headlines.

The Biggest Diet Trend of 2020 is Not a Diet
Intermittent fasting is among the most talked-about trends in the health and fitness space, but effective is it in promoting health-span in patients? We spoke to Mark Mattson, PhD, a professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University and Fatima Stanford MD, MPH, MPA, an obesity medicine physician at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
Cannabis Goes Clinical
Cannabis is a Schedule I drug, but a growing body of research suggests that it can benefit many sorts of patients. Even so, clinicians and researchers continue to butt heads with policy makers on the issue, as we learned from speakers at the Science of Cannabis Symposium held on November 15th.
