The Silent Doc

In this episode, we spend almost an hour with Dr. Syed T. Hoda. He is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at NYU where he is a practicing pathologist. Beyond this, he is a fantastically exciting thinker, a father, an artist, and a lot funnier than I thought he would be.  We discuss creativity in medicine, the suppression of individuality, COVID-19 & conjunctivitis, the sound of images, Dr. Kimberly Manning and BST Mode, and soooo much more.   Stick around until the end for a little behind the scenes of what making a podcast is really like. I hope you enjoy the episode.    Links you need to Enhance the Podcast Listening Experience: We referenced this black and white photo in New York - https://twitter.com/01sth02/status/1433222641645756417?s=21 Dr. Hoda Twitter page -https://twitter.com/01sth02 Dr. Hode Instagram Page - https://www.instagram.com/syed.forever/    

In this episode, we bring Twitter spaces to you. Recently we had an excellent conversation with Dr. Boghuma Titanji (infectious disease specialist, HIV researcher, and prominent scientific speaker) and Ed Nirenberg (founder of deplatformdisease.com). We did a really comprehensive update on COVID-19.  In addition, we answer your questions about COVID-19 in real-time.   It's a long conversation, but definitely worth it.
