Aaand we're back with another great episode on Sapien's Playground!

This time I had the pleasure to have a nice talk with Nick Norwitz PhD,  who has now also decided to attend Harvard Medical School to further  pursue his passion of helping people to become healthier by changing  diet and lifestyle.

Nick's enthusiasm for the topics we discussed today is truly contagious  and it was really pleasant to have a conversation with a fellow medical  student who is encountering similar challenges on the way and who is  also getting confronted with uncomfortable situations and recognizing  the immense potential in regards to improving patient care in the  future.

Furthermore, we had a great discussion on the topic of lipids and the  lipid energy model which was originially put forward by Nick's colleague  and friend Dave Feldman. Unfortunately, we were not quite able to get  deeper into atherosclerosis and talk about its pathophysiology, which is  of very big interest to me for various reasons, however, I'm sure that  consitutes a good topic for a part 2.

Having introduced you to the topics of the podcast, enjoy listening and I  hope that you will also get caught by our enthusiasm and appreciate  Nick's unique and highly scientific approach of seeking for truth by  constantly asking questions and staying very curious, as opposed to  fighting about who is right and who is wrong thus getting trapped into a  certain ideological niche that seems to have a clear answer for  everything.
