Bad Patient

Robin talks about her new sabbatical life, Laura discuss elective options, conferences and next steps and Robin dives for crabs

Laura learned about a new philosophical stance, how do you stay friends once your co-worker leaves and Robin worked her butt off for a new wetsuit

Robin and Laura talk about the air quality in Portland and adapting to life in an emergency, Right Speech and how to use it, and the troubles an tribulations of lost packages...

Another week another issue compounded by the world we live in by 2020. How to have a fierce conversation in 2020.

2020 is on fire, literally and figurately, storytelling and fab hair!

Laura is back in school, reflections on Covid life, and Robin talks about a drunk bear adventure

Globalism because Laura is taking classes again! Ironman because Robin is still upset... And why ladders are important.

Elder Millennials, Ironman or Not, Anchor Away!

Catching up and talking about life. cuz we are Experts of TOMORROW!

Robin's a little confused about hot takes, but we do them anyway. Laura brainstorms the top three reasons people get divorced. We talk about praise, love languages and what makes people feel appreciated. And it turns out that Robin sprained her back.

Cats, cats, cats

Laura shares four ways you can become more resilient, Robin asks for help dealing with meanieheads at networking events, an impeachment update and what happens when building an endurance base starts feeling like a hopeless case.

Australia's on fire; do we care about more than koalas? January finds lap swimmers everywhere at their most outrageous. Sometimes group mentality is group mixup, and we end up doing what everyone thinks everyone else wants to do -- but no one actually wants to do. And how much care do we need to put into personal grooming, anyway?

Laura discovers that details matter in her advanced research methods course and explains what you can expect when you're reconnecting with a friend after a long (loooong) time. Robin discovers that new memes came out while she was in Tahiti for six weeks, and talks about slowing down and culture shock after coming back to the U.S.

Reward folly, the societally unacceptable side of excitement, failing at a new sport and learning to use a pole spear. We recorded this episode before Robin's sabbatical. Spoilers, she's back in the states now ;)

After two years of being your favorite non-medical, non-experts, we've decided to shift gears. Stay tuned to find out what's next in Season 3.

Medical experiments on pregnant women are unavoidable. (Gulp.) Having kids boosts your cancer risk in the short-term. Seven different medical associations give seven separate recommendations for mammograms. Teens who start school later perform better. And Christmas Eve is a common time to have a heart attack.Here's the Task Force on Research Specific to Pregnant Women and Lactating Women's Sept 2018 report that Robin is reading during the episode. It turns out that bed rest is inadvisable. And, hey, we're not even testing the right women for the right genetic mutations that could lead to breast cancer, as CNN reports.Robin's deep dive: Canada revised its mammogram guidelines, which is big news.When should women get a mammogram? There is still no consensus in the US. But at least the CDC compiled these Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines from seven different associations.

A deceased donor's uterus is transplanted into a live woman, allowing a rare birth via (removable) uterine transplant. Apparently, you can get too much sleep, but we're soooo skeptical. A super cute little kid desperately needs to match with a very rare blood type.

A Chinese scientist experiments on unborn children, stirring international controversy. Robin only guesses three of five life-prolonging habits correctly (can you do better?). Canadians, as always, are doing life better than people in the U.S. In fact, they live, on average, THREE YEARS longer than us. And more kids are expected to die of the measles due to shrinking vaccination rates.This week's health news:https://futurism.com/chinese-government-crispr-baby-experimentshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/wellness/want-to-live-a-longer-life-research-says-you-should-do-these-five-things/2018/08/20/f0838e50-9fd2-11e8-83d2-70203b8d7b44_story.html?utm_term=.73bb39d44431https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-life-expectancy-drops-again-overdoses-climb-055720445.htmlhttps://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/measles-cases-30-percent-worldwide-who-says-n941811
