  • Episode #10 | Exercise, CF and ILD: A Chat with Dr. Owen Tomlinson
    Sep 5 2025

    In this episode, we chat with Dr. Owen Tomlinson about how he uses cardiopulmonary exercise testing to help patients with cystic fibrosis and interstitial lung disease. We also get into the world of research, predatory publishing, and even those softer skills that don’t always get the spotlight. If you’re an early-career physiologist thinking about dipping your toes into education or academia, there’s plenty of great advice in here for you.
