This 50th podcast is most likely our last.
In it we take a look back at some of the more memorable conversations of the past year.
There's quite a mix of insights here on everything from what it means to 'cure' Alzheimer's and 'survive' cancer, to 'science-ploitation' and cutting through the hype surrounding precision medicine and the microbiome.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Alzheimer's is a disease in which the cause is unknown, and a treatment hasn't been found.
Despite this, the Alzheimer's Association features fundraising commercials that promise "breakthroughs ... a cure ... (and) the first person to survive Alzheimer's disease is out there."
In this podcast we explore whether such promises are irresponsible, unethical, and potentially harmful. You'll hear from: A gerontologist, a bioethicist ,a geriatric neurologist, and three people whose lives have been deeply impacted by the disease.
