KP Research Radio podcasts offer a chance to hear investigators explain their work
Investigators at the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research (DOR) study a wide variety of research topics, and that’s reflected in the range of subjects highlighted by KP Research Radio podcasts in 2021 — from reducing colorectal cancer deaths to gender and sexuality in autism. DOR podcasts offer a chance to hear researchers discuss the what — and why — of their work in their own words.
