Listen on

Episode notes

Dr. Evan Matthews has been involved in a pilot project - The Exercise Effect - studying the impact of physical exercise on patients suffering from severe mental health issues. Evan and Rob discussed the research informing the project, the findings from the initial study and how it might progress in the future. They also spoke about Evan's background and how he unexpectedly found himself in an academic career despite not thinking of himself as "academic" at school.
