Customer Reviews
An excellent introduction to the leading thinkers in concussion-related research
I particularly appreciate the accessibility of these podcasts for the non-specialist. There is a commendable attempt to ‘bridge the gap’ between the high level of scientific knowledge of these guests- all widely respected leaders in concussion and TBI-related research - and where casual listener might start. The host generally first probes the biography of the guest to try and build towards what eventually drew their interest/passion in the field of neuroscience, concussion, and other related matters. Look forward to how this series develops!
