The voice behind the mic! I'm an emergency medicine resident with a real nerdy love for podcasts and evidence based medicine. Joined the JournalFeed team way back in the before times (pre-COVID).

Hi! I've been practicing emergency medicine for over 20 years and started JournalFeed. I'm the Chief Spoon-Feeder, which means I either write or edit everything that's posted on the JournalFeed blog. But Nick totally runs the show with the podcast!
