Are we throwing out potentially valuable research due to ineffectiveness against COVID-19? What has caused Tim Hortons' sales to tumble? What's it like being a member of the chain gang in the NFL?
There's a vast amount of research that's being done into COVID-19 and how we can stop or slow its spread. Some of this research proves unsuccessful towards combating COVID-19 and then gets cast aside. Could we be making advances in other fields of research but throwing it out simply because it didn't work against COVID-19?\n\nGuest: Dr. Edward Mills, Part-Time Professor & Expert, Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact, Faculty of Health Sciences, McMaster University\n\n-\n\nCOVID-19 hasn't been very friendly to Tim Hortons' sales numbers. Why would this be and how could it explain why sales were up for some other establishments but not Tim's?\n\nGuest: Marvin Ryder, Associate Professor of Marketing, DeGroote School of Business, McMaster University\n\n-\n\nWatching the giants that play professional football is impressive on TV and in person but when you're on the sidelines and they're coming at you, that's a whole different story. With the return of NFL football coming soon, Scott looks to get an inside line on what it's like to be an NFL official this season.\n\nGuest: Steve Foxcroft, Member of the Buffalo Bills' Chain Gang
