Great hair, Josh!
that was a great discussion! It is so cool to know that a school in our backyard is doing such awesome research that could impact us one day!
Fascinating show! That’s a really good discussion all around! I too love Josh’s hair too, LOL.
Do you have any links to their publication of research (if it’s out yet?). Would love to read it!
Great show. i was fascinated to see this innovation, especially since I just thought this was going to be about social media and basic digital stuff. This is cool! Good lookin’ innovation and I love to see UNC-C repped so well! go 49ers!
Love it — great show! When does this go up on WTVI, you guys are the best one..
my doctor already uses EMRs. I’m sure it helps them, and really cuts down on paper work, but doesn’t really make a difference to me. As long as the care is the same, though, it’s all good, at least for me!
