    This story popped up today and it’s absolutely fabulous! I find it very enhancing to read the transcript along with listening to the podcast. Along with this scientist’s determination, I very much appreciate the complimentary joining of eastern and western medicine and I wish that the implementation would proceed more quickly. And, hooray for a woman getting acknowledged during her lifetime.
