One of Hollywood’s leading actors stars in a major motion picture about…concussion research? It would not have been fathomable 10 years ago.

Scoop and Score: Jane Sarasohn-Kahn
As wearable technology becomes more prevalent for both recreational and professional athletes, Steve and I talk with health and technology expert Jane Sarasohn-Kahn about the Internet of Things.

Six hours and counting. That’s the time it’s taken, so far, for the Michigan medical staff to release the statement we were told to expect earlier today.
