Reflecting On 2017: The Year In Health And Science
ResumeAs part of our year in review, we're looking at the biggest health and science stories of 2017 with WBUR's Carey Goldberg.
2017 has, largely, been a positive year in the health and sciences. There have been no major disease outbreaks, no new Zika, no new Ebola. But there have been a number of discoveries that make the future of health and science seem hopeful: a new cancer therapy, Car-T, and the team who discovery gravitational waves in 2016 was awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics. And good news for Massachusetts: the state has been ranked the healthiest in the country in a report called American Health Rankings.
