In this episode, we welcomed Cara Lewis(lewisc@bu.edu), the Director of Human Adaptation Laboratory, and the Program Director of Rehabilitation Sciences at Sargent College, Boston University. She shared her story of how she stumbled upon the path of rehabilitation sciences and became “a mechanic of the human body”.
