In their own words

TIME to Talk - Science & Medicine is a podcast from the Translational Institute of Medicine (TIME) at Queen’s University designed to showcase translational research. Hosted by Dr. Stephen Archer and Dr. Charlie Hindmarch, this podcast is designed to highlight translational researchers at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The main goal of these podcasts will be to focus on the translational researcher, to learn about where they've come from, what motivates them, what are their ‘dangerous ideas’ and how their research will change the world!
