David Epstein - Self Improvement, Sport Science and Science Communication

David Epstein is an amazing science communicator and the best selling author of "Range: Why Generalist Triumph in a Specialized World" and "The Sports Gene: Inside the Science of Extraordinary Athletic Performance". We chat about some of his favourite research in self improvement, his experience in sport science, and his writing process/advice for others interested in writing or communicating science.

We truly had a great time learning from him, and hope you enjoy the episode :)
