Superbugs Unplugged
Goodbye Co-Host Matt, You Will Be Missed
This was a sad episode for our co-hosts Dr. Lance B. Price and Matt Wellington as well as our producer, Laura Rogers. In this episode we bade farewell to Matt who is leaving U.S. PIRG after 10 years to serve as the Associate Director for the Maine Public Health Association(his home state). In addition to saying goodbye, we reminisced about some of his favorite episodes including “CDC on the Fungal Kingdom: Full of Friends and Enemies” and “Designing the Perfect Predator: Phage Therapy.” Fear not, Superbugs Unplugged will continue. We’re taking a summer hiatus, but will have a fresh episode for you in September. We’ll repost some of our most listened to episodes over the summer. We hope you will listen and encourage others to do the same!
