A Doctor Unlocks Mysteries Of The Brain By Talking And Watching - 0 views

  •  
    Summary: The belief by many medical professionals is that better understanding of neuroscience will be achieved through investment in technology that focuses on such. But Dr. Allan Ropper believes that learning from talking, feeling, and watching is just as important as fancy scans and MRI's. As he talks about in his interview, administering bedside tests can, and will give you results that would have never been retrieved by using a machine. For example, Dr. Allan Ropper conducted an experimental test on a woman who was having muscle troubles, and by using a blood pressure pump, he discovered that she has a disease that weakens muscles with repeated use. The other doctors believed earlier that it was a stroke that made her feel weak, but Dr. Ropper proved them wrong. In Ropper's new book "Reaching Down the Rabbit Hole", he delves deeper into why neuroscience should use bedside tests more often, because in times like the one described, it's the only way to get the true answer.

David Wood - Lincoln Church - 0 views

  •  
    David and I were able to talk not that long ago at the Lincoln Church. He is the reverend at the Lincoln Community Church and was an amazing person to talk to about his beliefs pertaining the importance of science in creation and in religion. He was a major component in my final project, which was a podcast. From him I better understand the idea of open-mindedness and having an unconditionally open view about all aspects of the world. David is a amazing guy and I am so glad he collaborated with me on this project.
