Robert is the Director of the Altitude Research Center at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and has spent years researching altitude sickness.

0:04.7

doing this podcast called the Monday Minute. It's usually Steve and I just kind of catching up

0:09.4

and talking about whatever's timely or relevant or what have you. Steve's out, he's out hunting.

0:15.6

He has a special deer tag that he's filling probably this morning knowing him. He's tagged out

0:20.9

on his first day of hunting. Quite a few years over the past recent years. We'll see if that happens
