On this week’s episode of Tying It Together With Tim Boyum, we get a behind the scenes look at the person leading the state as DHHS secretary during this pandemic.

Dr. Mandy Cohen talks about what goes into making the decisions regarding restrictions, how she’s handling the criticisms behind some of those decisions, and what she thinks about the politicization of science.

Dr. Cohen also talks about the potential for a vaccine and more rapid testing, and shares her thoughts as a parent on the debate over in-person learning.

And later, we'll even find out what show she's been binging during the coronavirus. Tune into this week's episode and get to know the state's top doc.
