Introducing...The Med Thread

The Med Thread, a new monthly podcast from the School of Pharmacy’s Dr. Cathy Balsom and Mike Chong, explores the drug history, development and advances for treating society’s most common ailments.

Episode one begins with a sleep-song mashup before delving into insomnia through the ages; contemporary cultural references are sprinkled throughout the 30-minute conversation between the co-hosts. For more about The Med Thread, read The Gazette.
