    I’ve had several colonoscopies and Rachel and her guest gave the best advice I’ve heard for prep and what to expect. Everyone who fits the patient profile should have this procedure and I hope it is available for you.

  • Love the science! Hate the politics…

    I guess it’s a SciAm thing. I may have to find a real, hard science news podcast somewhere else. The level of left leaning snark and commentary in the news reports has increased since 2018.

    Bring the science back to Scientific American.
