Fentanyl and Cocaine Vaccines, Addiction Treatment Research

Researchers at the University of Houston are developing a vaccine for fentanyl that stimulates antibodies to block the drug's euphoric effects. Similar research is being conducted for cocaine using an adenovirus to trick the immune system into targeting drug molecules. Critics argue these treatments may lead addicts to increase dosages or switch substances to overcome the blockade.

Jobs Karma, PC Magazine and Houston Traffic

Listeners requested "Jobs Karma" for various upcoming interviews and career changes. One donor from Houston discovered the show after reading about John C. Dvorak's firing from PC Magazine, which was reportedly due to his criticism of 5G networks. Another listener from the University of Groningen uses the show as "ammunition" to avoid being sucked into the academic "Dimension B" mindset.
