<p>In this episode, we sit down to talk with Dr. Richard Shields, the 2017 McMillan lecturer. Dr. Shields' research focuses on the impact that movement has on genetics. We answer a few questions: </p> <ul> <li>How do we, as physical therapists, influence genetics? (That's possible?)</li> <li>What's the NIH doing about the lack of longitudinal studies?</li> <li>What's the role of the PhD in education, and how do you "get into" research?</li> </ul> <p>Talus Media Talks is a subsidiary of Talus Media: PT Views & PT News. You can find physical therapy news on our sister channel, Talus Media News. Check us out on Twitter & Facebook @TalusMedia, and head to our website at talusmedia.org for more information. </p>
