Hey, Emily Kwong here.
Former U.S.
president Jimmy Carter passed away Sunday at his home in Plains, Georgia.
He was 100 years old, and during his lifetime, he did a lot for science and for treating one disease in particular.
Here to talk about it with me is science reporter Jason Beaubien.
Hey, Jason.
Hey, Emily.
Hi.
So how are you doing with the Carter news?
Look, he had an amazing life both in politics and out of politics.
So I think it's great to be able to celebrate Carter.
And he's probably gonna be remembered more for the work that he did after he left the White House rather than those chaotic four years that he spent in Washington in the late 1970s.
Yeah, I mean, I wasn't alive, but it does appear that way from reading things.
It was, it was a very chaotic time.
And so I was thrilled when I got word you wanted to chat about two of my favorite subjects, Jimmy Carter and guinea worms.
