The super-rich don’t need to suffer from Stoneman syndrome themselves to feel desperate to finance research. It’s enough that a friend or family member has it, or a friend of a friend.

Bi Sasquatch<p>Big Picture Science for Mar 10, 2025: Preventable</p><p>Two infectious diseases that we’ve been able to prevent for a half-century are re-emerging. One of the most contagious viruses in the world, measles, is spreading in the United States. Anti-vax sentiment has driven vaccination rates down leading to outbreaks in Texas and New Mexico. The U.S. has also seen an uptick in cases of tuberculosis which has reclaimed its position the deadliest infection globally. The author John Green shares how his travels to Sierra Leone inspired his new book about TB. Through the story of a young patient, Henry, he highlights the health inequities that contribute to over a million and a half tuberculosis deaths annually despite the existence of a cure.</p><p>Guests:</p><p> * Adam Ratner – Pediatric infectious disease doctor in New York City, and author of Booster Shots: The Urgent Lessons of Measles and the Uncertain Future of Children's Health<br> * John Green – Author of The Fault in Our Stars, The Anthropocene Reviewed, and Everything is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of our Deadliest Infection</p><p>Download podcast at - <a href="https://bigpicturescience.org/episodes/preventable" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bigpicturescience.org/episodes</span><span class="invisible">/preventable</span></a></p><p>You can listen to this and other episodes at <a href="http://bigpicturescience.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="">bigpicturescience.org/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Get early access to ad-free versions of every episode by joining us on Patreon.

AstroMancer5G (she/her)<p>When I think about Magnus Hirschfeld's research on <a href="https://spore.social/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trans</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>healthcare</span></a>, I think about the fact that it was 90 years ago. Imagine what we could've had by now if trans people had been a priority in <a href="https://spore.social/tags/MedicalResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MedicalResearch</span></a> for all of those 90 years. The Nazis didn't just take Hirschfeld's research away from us, but also everything that could've developed from it since. Maybe someday our descendants will have what we should've had now, but we have to <a href="https://spore.social/tags/imagine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>imagine</span></a> and fight for it first, and defend what we have.</p>
