Recommended PodCast

Before finals I suggested a web site for my Pre-Med students to download podcasts to listen to while they are traveling over Tour Week and May Term.  Of course, I posted during a very busy time in their lives, so here it is again:

Dr. Dawn Motyka is a medical doctor where I grew up and every Saturday morning she has a radio show on the local public radio station.  She then posts the show on the web site (you can use iTunes to subscribe too).  She talks about recent medical research, alternative medicine, and people call in with questions.  Sometimes when she is going to be out of town, she has full-shows with guests about specific topics.  You can access all her shows on the archive.  I have learned a lot about medicine over the years I have been listening to the show and I find the discussion to be well thought out and researched.  She is also good at making the distinction between research and her own thoughts.  You are welcome to listen to one hour for a Scholars Culture Point although I warn you that most students who do this continue to go back and listen to more.

So, if you have a long flight, bus ride, or car ride coming up I encourage you to load a few on your favorite MP3 player, especially if you are interested in medicine or medical research.
