Description
Until the COVID-19 pandemic, lungs haven’t received as much attention as other organs. In this conversation with Dr. Han, we explore the risks our respiratory system faces from viruses like SARS-CoV-2, smoking, vaping, pollution and more. Our conversation will interest physicians, researchers, policy makers, patients, and all other breathers as we discuss strategies to protect our lung health. Dr. Han will share insights from her new book, Breathing Lessons: A Doctor’s Guide to Lung Health.
Highlights
