About this listen

Vitamin A supplementation can lower a child's risk of disease and prevent early death. What is less widely known, however, is the protection that timely intake of Vitamin A can provide to infants against sudden environmental disasters, such as tornados and floods. With rapid adverse climate change, such a precaution is vital for Bangladesh.

In this episode, we turn to Professor Achyuta Adhvaryu, who teaches Economics at UC San Diego and is a co-founder of the Good Business Lab, for a tale of vitamins and a tornado.

Here is a link to the academic paper.
