I really appreciated this podcast. I love to hear stories of good friendships that have developed into strong working relationships and vice versa. Also, loved learning more about FDA and BARDA.
Glad you liked it. I think it is valuable to have TWiV episodes that
explore working relationships and alternative workplaces.
