Polio and the March of Rubles – Why Medicine Trumps Politics

Visiting Senior Research Fellow Dora Vargha is featured on the Our Big Shot podcast to speak about 'The March of the Dimes'—a famous episode in the history of mass immunisation in which ordinary Americans were inspired to fundraise for research that would go on to end Polio in the US. She leads the audience through a lesser-told chapter of that story, which is the astonishing international cooperation between US and Soviet scientists at the height of the Cold War.
