Description

Cue Health has received emergency use authorization from the FDA for over-the-counter and at-home use of its rapid Covid-19 test. CEO Ayub Khattak discusses his vision for at-home health and putting a price on safety. Author and professor Walter Isaacson is out with his new book, “The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race.” Isaacson shares the stories of scientists leading what he calls the third scientific revolution of the modern age and considers the ethics of gene editing technologies like CRISPR. Plus, Disney is digesting the first weekend of its newest film “Raya,” Microsoft is weathering a hack, and the world is watching Oprah’s royal interview.
