78. Neuroradiology double-readful! Jun 05, 2026

Show notes

Frank is back from his US academic tour and arrives underprepared, so Andrew reads him two neuroradiology articles like nerdy bedtime stories.

75. Radiology and radiation protection in space Mar 03, 2026

All the big questions answered, plus Factorio and Project Hail Mary.
