Listen "Vaccines and a search for a cure for disinformation"
Episode Synopsis
It’s hard to imagine a more relevant scientific field than virology and vaccinology. And a Nova Scotia-based research facility has been on the forward facing innovation through the work of the Canadian Center for Vaccinology. Doctor Scott Halperin is the director of the lab that’s been making contributions to the research since long before COVID-19. And recently, they received a $1 million grant from GSK (GlaxoSmithKline) to further the work of the staff of 100 working in the Halifax area. Dr. Halperin tells us why the work is important and how it will make a difference. He also weighs in on the mis and disinformation that has been a side-effect of the information revolution and getting ready for the next dangerous human pathogen on the horizon.
