Former NIH Director Francis Collins 

In the first six months of his second term, Donald Trump has set about changing the very fabric of America. And in the crosshairs: science.

Francis Collins has overseen some of the most revolutionary science of the last few decades before announcing his retirement in March, and he joins the show with a warning. Also on today's show: Mstyslav Chernov, Director, 2000 Meters to Andriivka; Carly Ann York, Author, "The Salmon Cannon and the Levitating Frog and Other Serious Discoveries of Silly Science" Learn more about your ad choices.
