| 0:36.3 | Thank you. Fidelity Friday podcast, episode number 596. |
| 0:46.9 | In today's episode, I'm tackling a really interesting topic. |
| 0:52.3 | This is kind of like a follow-up to the conversation that I had with Dr. Sarah Hill. |

| 1:44.8 | in terms of those study designs. So hold on to your hats because today's episode is going |
| 1:50.2 | to be really interesting. |
