Vaccine Hesitancy

In this episode of Here We Are, Shane gets the latest on vaccine information and reopening after the pandemic from returning guest, Jessica Brinkworth. Jessica Brinkworth is an assistant professor in the department of anthropology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Her research addresses the physiological consequences of the human experience and evolutionary past, particularly those that affect innate immune system function. Jessica’s current projects focus on the functional divergence and diversification of primate immune systems, how past epidemics affect present day immune function diversity and how life experience affects the innate immune response.  Jessica’s first appearance on Here We Are: https://www.herewearepodcast.com/episodes/the-human-immune-system Jessica’s second appearance on Here We Are: https://www.herewearepodcast.com/episodes/episode-332-covid-19-one-year-later-jessica-brinkworth Learn more about your ad choices.
