In this episode, Cady and Sharilyn sit down with Dr. Thalia McCann, an infectious disease specialist, for a deep dive into the messy, fascinating world of public health and medicine. From the dangers of C. diff to the promise of phage therapy, they unpack the latest in infectious disease research and policy.

The conversation explores the human side of healthcare - how intersectionality shapes patient experiences, the critical role of mentorship for marginalized communities, and the challenges of navigating medical systems. Dr. McCann also breaks down the importance of antimicrobial stewardship in fighting superbugs, the impact of climate change on disease spread, and cutting-edge advancements in HIV prevention.

If you've ever wondered how public health policies shape our everyday lives - or just love a good science-meets-social-justice discussion - this one's for you! 🚑💊🔥
