In the opinion of this podcaster, Dr. Francis Collins is one of the greatest Americans who has ever lived. He is director of the National Institutes of Health, and is Dr. Anthony Fauci’s boss! This episode briefly traces his birth in Staunton, education, and growth as a scientist. The majority of the podcast is made up of the actual voices of President Clinton and Dr. Collins speaking at the White House regarding game-changing findings from the Human Genome Project. (We’re talking potential cures for cancer and Alzheimers here!)
