Discovering Hope in Science: Episode 3 Featuring Dr. Katherine Maki

Episode 3: Wake Up Call: Tackling Fatigue Head-On in Pilots, Truckers, and Astronauts
In this episode of Discovering Hope in Science, we hear from Dr. Katherine Maki, an Assistant Clinical Investigator in the Clinical Center's Translational Biobehavioral and Health Disparities Branch to discuss her findings in her co- published article.
