      <title>Health &amp; Veritas: The Saliva Test (Ep. 8)</title>
      <description>On the Health &amp; Veritas podcast, Yale physician-professors Howard Forman and Harlan Krumholz talk about the latest news and ideas in healthcare and seek out the truth amid the noise. In the latest episode, they are joined by Anne Wyllie, the Yale scientist who developed the SalivaDirect test for COVID-19, which was tested in the NBA’s 2020 “bubble” and is now available across the U.S. They discuss the development of the technology and its potential for enabling easier testing in a variety of communities.</description>

      <title>A Newfound Place of Pride for Pathology Labs</title>
      <description>Scientists at Yale’s Molecular Diagnostics Lab, part of the Department of Pathology, rose to the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2020, the pathologists had none of the equipment or space necessary and far too few technicians qualified to process COVID-19 tests. By December 2020, they had the capacity to run an estimated 1,200 tests a day. Over the course of the pandemic, the Molecular Diagnostics Lab evolved from manually processing nasopharyngeal swabs to playing a crucial role in the validation and execution of Yale’s own FDA-approved SalivaDirect test.</description>

      <description>We are in the midst of a once-in-a-generation opportunity to remake our approach to science. This moment, in all its difficult uncertainty—COVID-19, economic turmoil and the crescendo of a long overdue national discussion about racial justice—demonstrates why universities, funders and other research stakeholders should move decisively to embrace open science. By adopting what are called “open science” practices, we can align the incentive structures of research production and consumption with our values, and catalyze the scientific progress our society so desperately needs.</description>

      <title>At-Home Saliva Tests for COVID-19 Could Be Coming Soon</title>
      <description>There is a universe of ways to get tested for COVID-19, and each has its pros and cons. Most, however, require a medical professional to insert a long, flexible swab up your nose to sample the back of your throat in an invasive, painful and unpleasant procedure. It’s reliable, yes, but not the most encouraging way to convince people to get tested.</description>

      <title>Saliva tests for coronavirus infections are starting to catch on</title>
      <description>As the coronavirus pandemic broke out across the country, healthcare providers and scientists relied on the standard method for detecting respiratory viruses: sticking a long, swab deep into the nose to get a sample. The obstacles to implementing such testing on a mass scale quickly became clear.</description>
