Even though I’m only 10, I really like listening to this podcast when I have nothing to do except lay around. Thank you!
I didn’t know that I was so interested in toxicology until I started listening!! Dr. JP is excellent and i love the short and sweet nature of the episodes, they are perfect for a quick listen to make you think!😁😁
Very enjoyable podcasts. Found via another tox podcast and enjoy how it makes me think and will hopefully help me with patient care in the future. (Or preferably patients never need that care, but that is unrealistic)
