Andy begins with his guide to navigating the holidays now that Omicron is in our lives. Then he explores the cutting-edge science of this new variant with computational biologist and MacArthur "Genius Grant" winner Trevor Bedford. Andy and Trevor cover Omicron's possible origins, the latest on how our current vaccines are holding up to it, and when he expects an Omicron wave to hit the United States. We're learning more about Omicron every single day, and no one's better at explaining what we know and what it means than Trevor.
