We hear so much about how new drugs are discovered, but how exactly do they go from molecular form to drug delivery system? And who decides if a medicine comes in yummy gummy form, or in a pill? Brett just doesn’t get it.

In our pilot episode, chemical engineers Nancy Sever and Brian Anderson help Brett understand the intricacies of medication formation.

Episode 2: Getting Crispy with CRISPR!

Let’s face it: science can be hard. 
 
Our host, Brett Hellman, former soap opera producer and current AbbVie employee, lacks any sort of scientific background and has recurring nightmares of his high school biology class. Now, he is tasked with talking to biopharmaceutical researchers about their work and translating it for the rest of us. 
 
In each episode, Brett will explore some of the toughest and most relevant topics in medical science. This may be, at times, an exercise in frustration for the scientist being interviewed, but listeners will be rewarded with a new understanding not only of science, but about the scientific community at large – with all pretenses stripped down.
