This is an amazing podcast, everyone should listen to it! I

A. and D. are amazing teachers, explaining in easy to understand language scientific concepts and research that would otherwise be incredibly complicated! And my favorite parts is that they offer real life tips to overcome potential, or actual, brain health issues! Thank you for all you do!!
