## Resource

Was Hims' Super Bowl ad the final straw for regulators? Is the bar being lowered for psychedelic medicines? And what's happening behind-the-scenes with Moderna and the Food and Drug Administration?

The hosts also discuss the latest on Moderna's influenza vaccine application and Compass Pathways' depression psychedelic data.
