About this episode:
From frozen waffles to deli meat and even fast food burgers, outbreaks of foodborne illnesses seem to be everywhere.

In today’s episode: a look at foodborne pathogens and how they persist, the U.S. food safety system, and how you can take precautions at home and when you go out to eat.
Guests:Dr. Meghan Davis is a veterinarian and public health researcher at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health with a joint appointment at the School of Medicine.
Dr. D’Ann Williams is a former food safety official and an assistant scientist at the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future.

About this episode:
CRISPR technology can edit genetic codes, making it possible to cure people of terrible diseases, among other uses. But its power is not fully understood—even by the scientists and researchers who use it—and the technology far outpaces conversations about ethics and regulations.

Guest:Dr. Neil Baer is a lecturer in global health and social medicine at Harvard Medical School, an award-winning television writer and producer, and editor of a new book: The Promise and Peril of CRISPR.
Host:Dr. Josh Sharfstein is vice dean for public health practice and community engagement at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, a faculty member in health policy, a pediatrician, and former secretary of Maryland’s Health Department.
