  • Brilliant

    Never get bored of your stories here in Ann Arbor, MI. Listeners need to be aware that even though these are under an hour, sometimes under half an hour, the presentation and production are top-notch, the stories fascinating and interesting. Found you on Spooked, love you here as well.

What It's Like to Be a Brain Surgeon, from Dan Heath
Q: One of the most striking things about brain surgery is that the patient is often awake. Why is that important?
Awake mapping allows real-time monitoring of speech, movement, and cognitive functions, helping the surgeon avoid critical areas and preserve essential abilities.
When Doves Cry / Fever

She feared others would think she was crazy, so she kept the ideas private for a long time, which highlighted the stigma around unconventional scientific experiences.

No, it definitely was not unfair at all.
