In this episode, we discuss the Danish mask study. We discuss the paper itself and the results. More importantly, we discuss the challenges of science communication and science literacy for physicians and the general public.
We were joined once again by Drs. Kelly Vogt (https://twitter.com/kellynvogt) and Morad Hameed (https://twitter.com/moradhameed).
