EPISODE 96 | Inside Out: Neuroscience & Memory (Because Reasons 7)

Guest: Dr. Gary Simonds, neurosurgeon, professor and author of Death's Pale Flag

What happens when a lauded neurosurgeon starts thinking about ghosts and the scientific approach to the paranormal? You get a novel like Death's Pale Flag. This is the fictional work by Gary R. Simonds, who spends a lot of his time thinking about the brain, how it works, how it doesn't work, and areas that still need to be explored with open minds.
