Dietitian Sherene Chou and Jessica had a drastically different experience at the ADA Scientific Sessions than the researchers who were removed! Sherene may have been the first person to include a Subway Take at a medical conference. Today's episode continues the conversation about the ADA conference, one that started a few weeks back with journalist Lindsay Lee Wallace.

Just last week, the medical journal Lancet published a recap of what happened to the researchers. 

Jessica got to sit down with a representative at ADA and record her experiences as a clinician. You can catch her answers over on the Patreon!

This episode mentions the work of children's educator Ms. Rachel, who also came up in the first ADA conference recap with Lindsay.
