Sunday Apr 16, 2023
The All of Us Research Program is inviting one million people across the U.S. to help build one of the most diverse health databases in history. They welcome participants from all backgrounds, and researchers will use the data to learn how our biology, lifestyle, and environment affect health. This can help researchers find ways to treat and prevent disease. In this podcast, we re-broadcast SciStarter's own Caroline Nickerson discussing All of Us Wisconsin on the radio show Men Making Health a Priority on Wisconsin radio station 101.7 The Truth.
