The time has finally come: the glitz, the glamor, the many prediction market bets you can place about who will have the most glitz and glamor - The Oscars are this Sunday.

The Academy is expected to hand some sparkly hardware to an auteur director with an expansive vision and biting political critique. 

The question is, will it be Ryan Coogler for his historic, lyrical vampire story, Sinners? 

Or... Will it be Paul Thomas Anderson, the film bro favorite with a sprawling political thriller about resisting fascism – One Battle After Another?

Sorry to F1 stans but THAT is the race to watch…

These days, many internet influencers are promoting a wellness trend that sounds like something you might remember from high school bio: peptides.

They’re being sold as ways to improve skin, reverse aging – basically, peptides have become THE  answer to your choice of wellness issues. 

But most of what’s hawked on Instagram or TikTok is not approved by the FDA. . 

That could change: Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently said on Joe Rogan’s podcast that he wants to relax restrictions on many peptides. 

In the meantime, people are accessing them through methods that some experts say are…. dangerous.  

Guests:
Alex Hogan, a senior multimedia producer at STAT News and the host of STATus Report
