Week ¿¿¿¿ of COVID-19 Podcasting! In this episode we dive the life and work of two notable Dr.'s of Science; the revolutionary Dr. Gladys West and the indomitable Dr. Antonia Novello. We discuss the herstory of the GPS and how Dr. West's passionate work contributed to its success, and how a childhood medical struggle led to Dr. Novello becoming the first woman, first person of color, and first Hispanic to serve as Surgeon General.
