I strive to report timely medical science stories that help listeners and readers make smart health decisions. Under the broad umbrella of medical science I focus on cutting edge treatments, unusual scientific discoveries, news you can use, and California advancements that influence the national agenda. The five stories for this entry are creatively reported through driving narratives and compelling science that’s easy to understand. The selection I chose includes features on a team of medical detectives tasked with solving the nation’s most difficult health mysteries, unique advancements in treating cancer, the backstory of the first marijuana drug approved by the FDA, the ferocious political fight over banning e-cigarettes, and the psychology of sexual harassment.
