Show Notes

This week, the lads cover the amazing story of why there are 700 nuns’ brains in jars in the US. Clinician and author, Dr Daniel Nightingale talks them through the detailed studies that have been conducted on the organs and what they tell us about dementia and ‘cognitive reserve’.


If that’s not enough, Neil blows Dave’s mind with the fact that the easternmost point and the westernmost point of the USA are only about 70 miles from one another. And, as it’s nearly Christmas, we’ll throw in some chat about mining bird droppings too. Can’t say fairer than that.
