Episode description

No one has done more for neuroscience than Phineas Gage, and all he did was take an iron rod to the head! Erin and Nicole discuss the absolutely horrific events surrounding Gage's accident, the incredible lengths doctors went to save this man, and why his survival was key in understanding function of the brain!

**A note from Nicole: I just realized THIS is our anniversary episode, however we repeatedly allude to our next episode being our "6th anniversary" because we're bad at math. Just know that February 28th, 2017, is the date we launched DTFU and maybe remind us next year so we don't look like stupid idiots?**
