The brief
Pfizer wanted the science behind new medicines, from vaccines to cancer care, explained for people outside the lab.
My role
I co-hosted Season 5, hosted Season 6, and led the show's first full-length video conversations with patients and researchers.
The outcome
Season 5 won a Gold W3 Award, and both seasons reached the top 10 of the U.S. Life Sciences podcast chart. Together they passed 1.2 million downloads, and the Season 6 video series passed 1.1 million views on YouTube.
Two seasons
Season 5
Four episodes on medicine people rarely notice, covering conjugate vaccines, multispecific antibodies, molecular glues, and antibody-drug conjugates. Ronald and I took turns leading, and I led the first and third. I traced each breakthrough back through decades of earlier science and talked with patients and the researchers behind the work.
Season 5 won a Gold W3 Award in 2026, in General Series, Science & Technology.
Season 6
Five episodes on cancer, covering early-onset colorectal cancer, biomarkers and precision medicine, women and breast cancer, survivorship, and AI in cancer care. For the first time, the show added full-length video conversations, and I led them, starting with my best friend, diagnosed with colorectal cancer at 33.
