Together, they’re turning clinical studies into real-life solutions. From cognitive screening to medication management, adult neuro rehab to discharge planning, they break it all down with evidence, empathy, and a healthy dose of sarcasm. It’s smart, practical, and very real. It’s also, ahem, your new favorite podcast! — New Episodes Every Other Week —Copyright 2025 All rights reserved. 生物科学 科学 衛生・健康的な生活 身体的病い・疾患
