"Off the Scales - The Inside Story of Ozempic" ...with Reuters Journalist Aimee Donnellan
Professor Collins talks with Reuters journalist Aimee Donnellan about her book "Off the Scales" which details the story of intrigue and perseverance behind the discovery and development of Ozempic, a GLP-1 Receptor Agonist (RA) drug. Their conversation covers the pivotal scientific developments over the long journey of bringing this medication to market and the important stories of the overlooked women scientists who made key contributions to this research. They discuss some broad societal impact of medications like Ozempic, and Aimee shares insights from some of the people she interviewed for her book about how Ozempic affected their life and health.
