The COVID battle of the sexes - SASS class
Listen now
Description
It’s time for the Super Awesome Science Show SASS Class on COVID-19 and biological sex. I want to thank everyone who reached out to me. We received quite a few Emails and DMs about the episode although most of them centred on a few important questions. It shows that when it comes to travel, we all seem to have the same concerns and hopes for the future.  Our guest is once again Eileen Scully. She is an assistant professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and has been researching infection, immunity, and biological sex for years particularly in terms of HIV infection. She has explored the differences in biological sex for not just COVID-19 but also HIV. But when it comes to questions, the most popular had nothing to do with either of those illnesses, which is why I rely on you to let me know what’s on your mind. So, if you didn’t hear your question or have another on this topic or any other, make sure to contact me on Twitter, by Email and now, via voice message at Speakpipe.com/SASS.
