Welcome to the Unbiased Science Podcast! Join Dr. Jessica Steier, a public health expert, and Dr. Andrea Love, an immunology expert, as they dive into the science behind pertinent health-related topics. Former college classmates, these two esteemed scientists join forces as a dynamic duo bringing you trustworthy and reliable information, while simultaneously dispelling many common misconceptions.

In our inaugural episode, we concentrate on the current COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, we discuss the immunology behind COVID-19 infection, and address recent reports suggesting antibody levels in recovered patients decline quickly. We focus on how the adaptive immune system - antibodies, B cells, and T cells - work together to establish long-term immunity to infection and the role that will play in development of an effective vaccine. We also touch briefly on the concept of herd immunity, and why vaccination is so important.
