Remember the name Theranos? It was touted as a revolutionary blood-testing start-up--until 2018, when it came crashing down and its founder, Elizabeth Holmes, was charged with fraud. Tyler Shultz worked at the company before becoming a whistleblower about the technology, which didn't actually work. In his new podcast, "Thicker Than Water," he tells his side of the story. Hari Sreenivasan talks to Schultz about that, and about lessons learned as it relates to the hunt for a COVID-19 vaccine.

Originally aired on August 7, 2020.
