In this episode of The Russo Edge, two leading journalists pull back the curtain on how science becomes a headline. Heather McKenzie, Senior Editor at BioSpace and Ben Glickman, Reporter at The Wall Street Journal, join host Solomon Wilcots to share what earns their attention, what builds trust, and what turns them off before a single question is asked.

Together, they break down how biotech companies can communicate complex data with clarity, why timing is everything when engaging in the press, and how credibility can be strengthened long before a major announcement. From background conversations to clear trial summaries and investor context, this conversation offers practical, real-world advice for biotech leaders.

What if the earliest chapters of lifelong health are written in the gut — before a child even reaches preschool? Modern babies are often born without key microbes that train the immune system, leaving them more vulnerable to chronic conditions like allergies, asthma, and eczema.

This episode of The Russo Edge, Dr. Stephanie Culler, Co-founder and CEO of Persephone Biosciences, explains what makes the infant gut unique, why nine out of ten U.S. babies are born with microbiome deficiencies, and how her team is developing a synbiotic designed to replenish what’s lost.

From cancer research to dirty diapers, this is an entrepreneur's story of resilience, humor, and groundbreaking science — and why the smallest organisms in our gut may hold the biggest key to lifelong wellness.

What happens when a chart-topping songwriter is brought to her knees by a mysterious illness, and a healthcare system that refuses to believe her nearly costs her everything?

In this episode of The Russo Edge Podcast, Dana Parish joins host Solomon Wilcots to share how her fight to survive became a mission to help others. Alongside Dr. Steven Phillips, she co-authored the bestselling book Chronic: The Hidden Cause of the Autoimmune Pandemic and How to Get Healthy Again and has become one of the most influential voices for patients with Lyme disease, long COVID, and other complex chronic conditions.

Whether you’re a caregiver, a chronically ill patient, or someone searching for answers, this episode offers validation, clarity, and hope.
