Mission Critical With Neal Barnard, MD

Don't miss this exciting episode of the Physicians Committee's Mission Critical update from Friday, March 27! Physicians Committee President Neal Barnard, MD, shared the latest updates on ethical research and plant-based nutrition, including recent victories and a clarification of common misconceptions about what constitutes “processed food.” Host Alexandra Overhoff welcomed PCRM Director of Medical Research Jarrod Bailey, PhD, who shared about our collaboration with the Geneva antibody facility that’s making it easier for scientists to use animal-free antibodies, plus efforts to push for policy changes at institutions like the NIH. We also welcomed PCRM Vice President of Nutrition Programs Jill Eckart, who shared about our diabetes outreach to the Native American community at the Denver Powwow.

Next week’s episode will feature a special live Q&A with Dr. Barnard! You’re welcome to ask questions live during the show or email membership [at] pcrm.org in advance with a question you’d like us to consider.
