This week, Syd & Jess are here to tell you about the recent conviction of a former UCLA physician, Dr. James Heaps, who spent years sexually abusing his patients. Since Heaps' arrest in 2019, thousands of women have come forward claiming that he abused them. We want to honor the bravery and experiences of these survivors...if you or someone you know is looking to report, the UCLA page is still open: https://sexualharassment.ucla.edu/
