About this listen

We're celebrating 25 episodes of Clinical Trials: The Good, The Bad, and The Absurd! And to mark this milestone, we're revisiting a groundbreaking story – the world's first pig kidney transplant.

Remember Rick Slayman, the brave pioneer who received a genetically modified pig kidney? We'll discuss the latest developments and the impact of this research.

But this episode dives deeper into the crucial role of diversity in clinical trials. We’ll discuss community concerns about medical research, and we'll explore how to move forward with trust and inclusivity.
