This week on “The Readout LOUD,” STAT’s Chief Washington Correspondent Rachel Cohrs Zhang joins us to discuss the layoffs at trade group BIO and how things may be changing at the trade group. We also invite STAT reporter Eric Boodman on to talk about his new investigative series of stories exploring how Black women with sickle cell disease were coerced into getting sterilized.
