Unforeseen Consequences

On today’s show, we’re talking about how innovations in medicine and technology can have shocking repercussions. We’re traveling from the Bay Area all the way to Cuba to bring you stories about consequences.

First, Mara Kardas-Nelson talks to a Bay Area man who is rationing his own insulin because of skyrocketing prices. Then,usic Brett Simpson goes back to a Berkeley preschool to report on the chemical PFAS. Lastly, Eric Murphy takes us to Cuba to explore how relationships between nations impact regular people.
