Dr. Arthur Lupia - Political endorsements can affect scientific credibility
The Not Old Better Show - Inside Science Interview Series
Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Art of Living Interview Series on radio and podcast. I'm Paul Vogelzang and we have one of the more intersting and timely shows with returning guest and audience favorite in Dr. Arthur Lupia, who I'll introduce, or re-introduce in just a minute.
