I have been listening to the Incubator in various forms (board review, journal club, and recently the podcasts covering PAS as I was not able to join) for several years now— I continue to find it helpful with staying up to date with current topics/ controversies, learning historical context behind disease processes (I particularly loved the episode on HIE and therapeutic hypothermia), reviewing physiology,.. you name it. Thank you Daphna and Ben for providing such an easily accessible forum tha... more
