Interview: Brendan O'Neil, Everest Academy, Clarkston, MI
Most of the people we interview on Sound Medicine have either an MD or PhD after their names, but not our next guest.
Brendan O’Neil is twelve and a student at Everest Academy in Clarkston, Michigan.
He's already published his first research paper (with a little help from his dad, who’s an emergency room physician).
Brendan decided to study whether energy drinks are any better than regular soda, when it comes to enhancing athletic performance.
He explaines his scientific process, and his findings, to Sound Medicine’s Dr. David Crabb.
