Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to that traflon show, the podcast presented by

0:06.2

Scientific Traathlon.com. I'm our host Michael and this episode is Q&A number 54. And this one is a special.

0:14.3

We're going to take questions related to the interview that I did in episode 198 with Dr. Jan Olgrecht because that episode really

0:24.6

generated a lot of questions and comments so I want to take the time to respond to those today.

0:31.3

that Traflon Show, all on word, all caps. And big thanks to Roka that you can find on roca.com.
