Default For fans of Dr. Anthony Fauci . . .

. . . but not really about the Covid19 virus:

Radiolab, a public radio show and podcast, is presenting a show that heavily features Dr. Fauci. However, the portion with Dr. Fauci focuses primarily on his involvement with the HIV/AIDS virus crisis.

This week's episode, "Ashes on the Lawn", examines what current movements can learn from the LGBTQ community's efforts during the HIV/AIDS crisis about mobilizing large groups of people and gaining media attention. ACT UP was especially vital during this period of our history, garnering attention with actions like the AIDS Quilt, dumping ashes of HIV/AIDS victims on the White House lawn, and a day-long demonstration and burning in effigy of Dr. Fauci. Dr. Fauci had the same job during the AIDS crisis that he does now - head of the NIAID, and he has advised six presidents on HIV/AIDs.

You can find "Ashes on the Lawn", and other Radiolab episodes (which are all usually very interesting and produced with high quality), at radiolab.org. (Scroll down to see recent podcasts.)
