Summary

In this installment of Best Of The Gist, the rise of women's college basketball knows no (re)bounds, and yet somehow has still been overstated. We also listen back to his 2018 interview with Barbara Lipska, whose career as a neuroscientist did not prepare her to identify the dark effects of her own brain tumors diagnosed in 2015. There's studying a damaged brain, and then there's having one. Lipska is the author of The Neuroscientist Who Lost Her Mind: My Tale of Madness and Recovery.   Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara  Email us at thegist@mikepesca.com  To advertise on the show: https://advertisecast.com/TheGist  Subscribe to our ad-free and/or PescaPlus versions of The Gist: https://subscribe.mikepesca.com/  Follow Mike's Substack: Pesca Profundities | Mike Pesca | Substack  Learn more about your ad choices.

Hello it's Mike. It's Saturday. It's the Saturday show and depending when on Saturday you're hearing this Iowa, the Iowa Hawkeyes, might be playing today.

Right now, Caitlin Clark, what a story. Will she get to the

final four? Nate Silver stats say no. I wouldn't bet against it only because the odds don't
