What if the greatest Lyme disease mystery isn't the disease itself, but where it came from? Investigative journalist Kris Newby follows a trail from a single tick bite to Cold War bioweapons research, secret government programs, and explosive questions about public health that remain unanswered. Once you hear this, you'll never look at a tick the same way.
GUEST: Kris Newby is an award-winning science writer, investigative journalist, and senior producer of the acclaimed Lyme disease documentary Under Our Skin, an Oscar semifinalist. She is the author of Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons, an internationally award-winning investigation into Lyme disease, military bioweapons research, and scientific transparency. Newby holds two engineering degrees and has written for Stanford Medical School, Apple, and numerous Silicon Valley technology companies. Her work has helped reignite public debate over the origins of Lyme disease and prompted congressional interest in historical military tick research.
