“WRAIR Minds” is the first WRAIR podcast, featuring mindfulness exercises to help improve Soldiers’ performance, attention, and well-being. Interviews will showcase the work of mindfulness researchers, teachers and students, both in and out of the military.
Hosted by Capt. Thomas Nassif, the podcast stems from years of mindfulness research at WRAIR, which has found that mindfulness training and practice can offer mental, physical and performance benefits for Soldiers.
New episodes of the podcast will be made available biweekly on SoundCloud, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher and other third party podcast sites.
