For my first episode, I had the pleasure of interview Dr. Maxime Robert. He is an assistant professor at the University of Laval (In Quebec). He works in the faculty of Medicine, under the Department of Rehabilitation. His research is focused on Cerebral Palsy, and finding the neurological biomarkers of rehabilitation in this clinical population. The topics we discuss in this episode are vast, and are all time-stamped below. Thank you for listening to this episode and I hope you will tune into the next one.
