Dr. Paul Comfort - Professor at the University of Salford (UK) - joins us for the 62nd episode, and our first international podcast, of MTN. If you've taken a dive into force research within the field, you've come across Dr Comfort's work. Today's podcast is a masterclass on understanding data, figuring out what's important/and what's not, how different variables can paint different pictures of the same event, and he takes us down a few rabbit holes of recent interest
