Season 14, episode 375 reviews episode 116 with Dr. John Ratey, exploring how exercise and lifestyle shape brain health and learning. The episode highlights Naperville's Zero Hour PE case study, explains how physical activity boosts attention and academic performance, and introduces BDNF (brain-derived neurotropic factor) as “miracle grow” for the brain. Practical takeaways include exercising before challenging work or school, prioritizing low-glucose nutrition, using hormesis (fasting, intense exercise, sauna) to increase resilience, and improving sleep and stress management to support cognitive health. On today's episode #375, we review our 2021 interview with Dr. John Ratey and will learn: ✔ How physical activity boosts attention and academic performance to improve results at school or in the workplace. ✔ What should we all understand about BDNF (brain-derived neurotropic factor) also known as “miracle grow” for the brain. ✔ How to build a faster, stronger, more resilient brain with exercise, nutrition, and with understanding hormesis. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Episode 375: Featuring Dr. John Ratey For today's Episode 375, we continue with our review of past episodes as we make connections to prior learning with whatever it is that we are currently working on this year. I'll create a roadmap at the end of this season so this pathway will make sense to us (I hope!) as we piece together important parts of our success puzzle and begin to bring them to life. You'll notice that around the time of the pandemic, in 2020, our interviews took a turn towards health and wellness, and to stay on track, I created a framework of our Top 5 Health Staples on Episode 87[i], which eventually evolved into our Top 6 Health Staples. Today, we covering the first health staple of exercise, jumping to Episode 116[ii]  on “The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain” with best-selling author Dr. John Ratey. Dr. Ratey is also an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and an internationally recognized expert in Neuropsychiatry. Dr. Ratey has published over 60 peer-reviewed articles and 11 books in 17 languages, including the groundbreaking ADHD “Driven to Distraction” series with Dr. Edward (Ned) Hallowell, MD. With the publication of “Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain,” Dr. Ratey established himself as one of the world's foremost authorities on the brain-fitness connection. His most recent book, “Go Wild,” explores how we can achieve optimal physical and mental health by getting in touch with our caveman roots and how we can “re-wild” our lives.

In this second part of our conversation with Professor Rylee Dionigi, we continue exploring the Masters sport phenomenon from a socio-cultural perspective. Ageing-as-decline discourse is nowadays challenged by active, healthy and successful ageing discourses. What are the opportunities but also potential problems associated with these competing discourses? What are the implications for exercise and health promotion with older adults? We also explore methodologies and methods that have been useful in Prof. Dionigi's research into Masters sport and physical activity. Rylee Dionigi is a professor in of Sport and Exercise Science at Charles Sturt University with expertise in qualitative research as well as sociology of active living and ageing. She has studied Masters sports for over 20 years and shared her insights from this extensive work in the podcast. Interested in exploring further?

Opportunities for involvement in sports in later life have increased significantly and many sports around the globe have competitions and categories for Masters/Veteran athletes. At the same time, researchers have explored the experiences and meanings of being an older athlete, showing tensions in individual experiences as well as in shifting social discourse surrounding sport and ageing. We have shifted from ageing-as-decline to active ageing discourses, which provide different imagination of growing old. But are there also some darker sides in the shift towards more positive visions of ageing? Rylee Dionigi is a professor in of Sport and Exercise Science at Charles Sturt University with expertise in qualitative research as well as sociology of active living and ageing. She has studied Masters sports for over 20 years and shared her insights from this extensive work in the podcast. Questions explored in the conversation include: How did the cultural discourses shift in the last 20 years? Have athletes' experiences and meanings of sport also shifted at the same time? What are the different pathways to Masters sport and do they map into different relationships with sport? Why are active ageing discourses also potentially problematic? Interested?

"Is walking to school really enough to tackle childhood obesity?" In this third episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen and Dr. Rob Noonan explore the complex issue of childhood obesity and the social factors that contribute to it. Dr. Noonan shares surprising findings from his research, showing that while children from deprived areas are more likely to walk to school, they are also more likely to struggle with obesity. This challenges the assumption that simply increasing physical activity, like walking, is enough to combat childhood obesity. The discussion delves into the deeper, systemic issues at play, such as poor diets, reduced access to sports, and the social environments in which children live. The conversation further explores how behavioral interventions alone won't solve the issue of childhood obesity, as they fail to address the underlying causes - economic, psychological, and environmental factors. Dr. Noonan calls for a broader, policy-driven approach that creates healthier environments for children, rather than just relying on individual behavior change. If you're interested in how policy, environment, and health are interconnected, this episode provides a comprehensive look at the root causes of childhood obesity and what needs to be done to tackle it effectively. ____________________________________________ This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.  Learn more about Fibion Research --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Explore our Wearables,  Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep,  Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher  Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen  Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion  Check our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher

"How do you change a society's values when capitalism rewards consumption and individualism?" In this second part of the episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen and Dr. Rob Noonan dive deeper into the societal drivers behind health inequality, focusing on the UK and comparing it to other nations like the Scandinavian countries. Dr. Noonan explains how the core values of a society - competition, productivity, and consumption - shape not only individual behavior but also public policy. These systemic values, deeply rooted in the current economic structure, influence everything from public health funding to welfare systems, often leaving health inequalities unaddressed. The conversation then shifts to the power of education as a tool to reshape these societal values. Dr. Noonan highlights the need for critical thinking and media literacy in the face of overwhelming misinformation, particularly as artificial intelligence and social media complicate the information landscape. He discusses the limitations of the current education system, which often reinforces capitalist values, and suggests that real change will require a bottom-up approach, driven by public support and grassroots efforts. This thought-provoking episode offers a deep examination of the social and political factors that continue to hinder progress in public health and well-being. ___________________________________________________   This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.  Learn more about Fibion Research. --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Explore our Wearables, Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep, Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher  Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen  Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion  Check our videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher   

"Our obsession with economic growth might be making us sicker—what can we do about it?" In this powerful first episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen sits down with Dr. Rob Noonan, an expert in health and education, to explore the critical link between capitalism and public health. Dr. Noonan explains how our relentless focus on economic growth has led to widespread public health issues like obesity, mental health struggles, and increasing health inequalities. As more people consume ultra-processed foods, work longer hours, and face social deprivation, society's overall well-being is declining—and it's time to rethink our approach. Drawing from his book Capitalism, Health, and Well-being, Dr. Noonan calls for a shift in economic priorities to focus on creating healthier environments, rather than simply growing the economy. He highlights the need to tackle the social determinants of health, showing how where we live, work, and grow plays a crucial role in our health outcomes. This episode sheds light on the systemic drivers of poor health and why individual responsibility isn't enough to solve these societal issues. If you're interested in the intersection of health, economics, and social justice, this episode is not to be missed. __________________________________________________ This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS. --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.  Learn more about Fibion Research. --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Check Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Collect self-report physical activity data easily and cost-effectively with Mimove. --- Explore our Wearables,  Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep,  Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter: https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher  Follow host Dr. Olli Tikkanen on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen  Follow Fibion on Twitter: https://twitter.com/fibion  Check our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher

Safdieh, MD, FAAN, highlights articles about the relationship between income, “food deserts,” and stroke risk; why staying active may reduce cognitive decline in patients with Parkinson's disease; and how initiating rimegepant for migraine could help reduce opioid and butalbital use. 

"What if changing your habits was less about effort and more about strategy?" In this third episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen continues the conversation with health coach Lotte Arndal, who shares her expertise on behavior change and habit formation. Lotte explains how using advanced tools like Fibion Reports allows her to offer truly personalized advice that goes beyond general fitness tips. She emphasizes that habit change isn't just about extreme effort but about understanding your body's real needs, and making sustainable adjustments over time. Lotte also discusses the emotional and psychological aspects of weight management, revealing that many of her clients' eating habits are deeply tied to emotional triggers rather than physical hunger. She shares personal stories of clients who, through her program and the use of Fibion, were able to reshape their lifestyles despite significant health challenges. This episode provides valuable insights for anyone interested in data-driven coaching, emotional health, and long-lasting behavioral change. ______________________________________ This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS. --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy - Learn more about Fibion Research. --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Explore our Wearables,  Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep,  Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher  Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen  Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion  Check us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher

"Can you really feel active while barely moving? The numbers tell a different story." In this second episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen continues the conversation with Lotte Arndal, an experienced health coach and gym owner, as she shares the importance of accurate measurement in health coaching. Using advanced tools like Fibion sensors, Lotte demonstrates how many clients often misjudge their physical activity, confusing mental fatigue with real physical exertion. By analyzing clients' daily activity data, she customizes advice to fit their true energy expenditure, helping them achieve a healthier, balanced lifestyle. Lotte also reveals how simple lifestyle tweaks - such as moving more during the day rather than focusing solely on gym time - can make a significant impact. She stresses the need for tailored health strategies, especially for those with low muscle mass or those who have struggled with traditional fitness methods. This episode is essential for anyone looking to understand how real data and simple changes can revolutionize personal health coaching. __________________________________________   This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.  Learn more about Fibion Research --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Explore our Wearables,  Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep,  Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher  Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen  Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion  Check us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher

Ever feel completely exhausted after a long day but realize you've barely moved at all?" In this insightful first episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen sits down with Lotte Arndal, a seasoned health coach and gym owner with 25 years of experience, to uncover the surprising disconnect between mental and physical exhaustion. Lotte reveals that many people mistake mental fatigue for physical tiredness, leading them to believe they're more active than they actually are. Through her unique, data-driven approach using activity sensors, Lotte helps clients see the reality of their movement patterns - and how simple changes can dramatically improve their health and energy levels. Lotte also shares her philosophy of keeping health simple and balanced. She discusses how trendy fitness fads, extreme diets, and biohacking often confuse people, pulling them away from sustainable, long-term health habits. Instead, she promotes everyday movement, normal eating, and a common-sense approach to well-being. This episode is a must for anyone looking to break free from complicated health trends and find practical, science-based ways to improve both physical and mental health. _________________________________   This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS. --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.  Learn more about Fibion Research. --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Explore our Wearables,  Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep,  Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher  Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen  Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion  Check our videos https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher   

"Can physical activity really help you sleep better and manage stress?" In this third episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen continues the conversation with sleep researcher Jin Wen, exploring how physical activity interacts with sleep and stress. Jin discusses how daily movement can improve sleep quality and reduce stress, but it's not just about burning energy. She shares insights from research showing that regular physical activity helps maintain homeostasis, which can lead to better sleep and lower stress levels. Jin also introduces the SATED model, which evaluates different aspects of sleep, including satisfaction, alertness, timing, and duration. This holistic approach helps people understand how sleep quality goes beyond just getting enough hours of rest. Additionally, Jin highlights a growing issue in modern life - revenge sleep procrastination, where people sacrifice sleep to reclaim personal time, potentially affecting both their sleep and long-term health. If you want to learn how physical activity, sleep, and stress are interconnected, this episode is filled with practical insights and research findings. --- This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS. --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy - Learn more about Fibion Research. --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Explore our Wearables,  Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep,  Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher  Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen  Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion  Check us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher

On this week's episode we're tackling a topic we've been meaning to discuss for a long time: Despite being pervasive in both performance and medical spaces, SMART goals are no actually an evidence based way to change health and fitness behaviors. They may even, in some cases, be harmful.Our guest, Dr. Christian Swann, is a Professor of Psychology at Southern Cross University in Australia where he leads the Physical Activity, Sport and Exercise Research (PASER) group.Christian's background is in sport and exercise psychology, and his expertise is in goal setting. His research focuses on how to set goals to increase and maintain physical activity, and he is particularly interested in how different goal setting approaches make us feel while we pursue them — as well as how they influence our mental health. As part of an international team of researchers he published ⁠"The (over)use of SMART goals for physical activity promotion: A narrative review and critique."⁠ This article aimed to answer a few key questions:Is the SMART framework based on theory? Is it consistent with existing evidence? Does it consider what type of goal is set? Is it applied consistently? Is it being used as originally intended? Does it carry any risks?Once you learn the history of SMART goals, some of the answers become a lot less surprising...

Welcome to this episode of The Lifeguard Project Podcast, where today I interview Mike Martino. Mike is a California State Parks lifeguard who started as a seasonal and throughout his career, worked his way up all the way to the aquatic specialist or chief lifeguard of California State Parks. Not only is he a lifeguard for life, but he also has become quite a lifeguard historian and represent some of the early lifeguard pioneers who made their way up in the Sonoma coastline in the north of California.The Sonoma coastline is what we focus on today and talk about some of those early challenges faced by the guards who worked up there. Mike shares with us some pretty impactful stories, both personal and professional, and we walk through what it really means to be a lifeguard.

This episode was recorded at the 2025 Western Dairy Management Conference in Reno, Nevada.Dr. Cantor gives an overview of her presentation at the conference, focusing on data from accelerometers and robotic feeders to predict calf sickness. While the correlations are there and we know calves change activity, behavior and feeding behavior before they get sick, there is more work to be done before the technology is ready for wide implementation. When data from both accelerometers and robotic feeders were used, Dr. Cantor's group was able to find respiratory disease with a 96% accuracy six days before clinical symptoms. (2:36)Dr. James and Dr. Cantor discuss the use of robotic feeders in the industry and the under-utilization of data collected by the feeders. Dr. James shares observations from a farm he works with about heifers coming in to the milking herd who were raised on robotic feeders compared to those raised in calf hutches. (6:15)The panel discusses the accuracy, specificity and sensitivity of the predictions from monitoring technologies. They also touch on challenges around deciding what parameters to use to classify an animal experiencing the onset of clinical disease and how that will vary depending on the disease. They go on to share their experiences with training algorithms and how computer scientists have different goals than animal scientists with this type of technology. (11:17)Dr. James talks about how data collection and using data can be a hard sell on some calf ranches. The panel talks about some of the challenges they have seen with adoption of technology and recordkeeping on dairies of various sizes. (28:30)Dr. Giordano gives an overview of his presentation on using monitoring technology in fresh cows to predict disease. His group has worked with wearable sensors that monitor rumination time and physical activity. More recently, sensor companies have added eating behavior and body temperature. Variations in these parameters create a health alert to check on that particular animal. (39:08)He goes on to describe two extremes in dairy farms. One spends little time and effort on looking for sick cows, while the other puts a lot of time and effort into this task. He discusses how bringing technology to these two types of farms benefits them and what drawbacks there are, along with an economic analysis for each. (43:14)The panel discusses how implementing monitoring technologies require a change in management. Allowing animals the opportunity to express their natural behavior is critical to success. They also talk about how veterinarians view this technology and the target age for calves to best learn how to use a robotic feeder. (48:54)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.
