Hey! We're back from our 2 week hiatus with an episode on Omicron! At this point, the omicron wave seems to be largely done in the US (in terms of new cases, people are still dying though so please be careful!)
Science doesn't happen right away though, so there is still a lot we're learning about omicron and future potential variants!
