On this episode of the R-Rated Science Podcast we sit down with our friend, Dr. Allison Brager. Dr. Brager is a neurobiologist with expertise in sleep and circadian rhythms. She works on human and animal models of study. Her work examines substrates and mechanisms of resiliency to extreme environmental stress (exercise, jet lag, and sleep deprivation). She presently sits on the fatigue management and neuroenhancement working groups through NATO, US Special Operations Command, the Office of the Army Surgeon General, and inter-government (DoD, NASA, FAA, NHTSA, NIH). She co-authered the first edition of the NCAA student-athlete mental health handbook and she self published her own book, Meathead: Unraveling the Athletic Brain (https://www.amazon.com/Meathead-Unraveling-Athletic-Allison-Brager/dp/149086444X). Dr. Brager also sits on the scientific advisory board for Whoop. More important than anything, she’s a wonderful friend, wife, and leader. Dr. Brager is an excellent example of how to break down norms and to never quit! Please check out Dr. Brager at the following links;
