In this episode, I learn all about what it means to be a pharmacist with my friend, Damianne Brand-Eubanks. She's a pharmacist and professor at Washington State University.

Hear about:

• different kinds of pharmacists
• rad new ways to receive medications or shots (like patches that feel like a cat's tongue and jet injectors like you see on Star Trek)
• why reading and writing are amazing for pharmacists, scientists and everybody

Resources you can use:

• Check out this CrashCourse about how scientists make new medicines—called drug discovery
• Find out what it's like to be a community pharmacist, a hospital pharmacist, a manufacturing pharmacist, a medical affairs pharmacist intern, or an informatics pharmacist
• Get some advice about medicine from a dog (who's probably cool even though he's not a cat)
