Dr. Campbell, besides being an experienced emergency room physician hosts the fantastic Brain Science Podcast (BSP). The brain science covered by Dr. Campbell's podcast will doubtless be of interest to runners and non-runners eager to learn more regarding growing evidence that running and other forms of cardiovascular exercise are good both for our bodies and our brains.

Join us for this interesting discussion!
