The two most recent episodes of @BioUnethical with @DavidThorstad, @Emily_A_Largent, and @GovindPersad were very (very!) good.

Hosts @Leah_Pierson and @SophieHGibert may be doing reflective discussion better than anyone — outstanding stage setting, questioning, improvising, etc.

[Benjy Renton @bhrenton]

A well-deserved feature for @leah_pierson — always enjoy listening to @biounethical with her and @sophiehgibert.

We recently determined that these spikes in @biounethical downloads correspond to professors assigning episodes to their classes.
