0:00.0 | My guest today is Professor Matthias Dutton of Kent University, who is one of the leading |
0:06.8 | expert voices on a specific topic that has captured the world's imagination as a couple of weeks. |
0:16.9 | In addition to being a lecturing professor in clinical psychology at Kent University, |
0:23.0 | he holds master's degrees in statistics. And I know that you're very, very busy. Professor |
0:31.0 | Desmond, these days, you and I were on a group conference call with a large group of really extraordinary |
0:39.4 | physicians and scientists about three or four weeks ago. And you and I agreed to meet and have |
