Dr. David Agus believes leaders have a moral responsibility to be transparent and accurate, especially during a pandemic, “We saw people just talking and not thinking of the ramifications of their words and of their actions. There weren't people stepping up to really normalize the right ideas, the right behavior and it became more about a belief system than data.” He sat down with Founder and Executive Chairman of the HOW Institute, Dov Seidman, where the two discussed frameworks for values-based decision making, battling misinformation in science and adapting under pressure.

Dr. David Agus specializes in treating cancer and is a researcher at the Ellison Institute at the University of Southern California. He is also a regular contributor to CBS News and has spent much of the past year answering questions about COVID-19 and vaccines on TV and social media.
