In this episode, host Dr. Seema Khosla welcomes Dr. Danny J. Eckert, a sleep and respiratory physiologist and professor at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia. Dr. Eckert is a leading expert in his field and the recipient of the 2023 European Respiratory Society Gold Medal in Sleep-Disordered Breathing.
