Construction Workers and TBI's....
In a recent interview, you briefly mentioned that the demographic of people who suffer the most TBIs are actually Construction Workers. Counterintuitive to the often-discussed injuries among sports athletes. Can you please explain this further? Are the injuries due to blunt force trauma or excessive vibration? Does wearing a hard hat daily contribute to body strain or exacerbate minor incidents? Thoughts on TBIs from non-team sports? The idea that repetitive impacts are put on the body and the head is constantly compensating for these abrupt movements. eg. downhill skiing 80+ days per year, Mtn Biking, dirt biking, jet skiing.... etc.
nutritional/supplemental suggestions for pregnant women

Are learning styles real?
I’m a music teacher and there’s a general notion that people have 3 learning styles: visual, aural and kinesthetic, with one being stronger than the others. I haven’t found this to be true in practice, as I’ve seen individuals cycle through styles. Plus I feel there are other possible learning styles, like people who prefer learning in social group contexts, bouncing ideas back and forth, to name just one. Is there any evidence that people have a particular learning style they’re born with or come to heavily favor over all others? Thanks!
Can too much active recall per day hurt you?
Hey, Andrew! I help law students pass the bar exam and the preferred study method seems to be writing and actively recalling information on and through flashcards (which is good). If done correctly, active recall should be really hard for your brain, maybe even harder than learning something complicated that you’d have to revisit again and again. I see a lot of my students doing hours and hours each day of repetition using Anki and have a feeling that that intensity and length might hinder their actual learning processes and might even hurt their brain and lead them to burn out. How much or little active recall per day is sustainable and healthy? Thanks! :)
