The Fika Crew contemplates the know-do gap ... the gap between what we know research has documented is a helpful improvement and what we actually do. It's NOT a lack of knowledge or know-how, but rather a complex mix of factors that prevent us from translating what we know into practice. We explore some of these factors, but there are likely more!

Disclaimer (inspired by Whad’Ya Know?): All opinions expressed on the Pharmacy Fika podcast are well-reasoned and insightful. Needless to say, they are ours and our guests alone, and not those of our employing institutions.

Even though we don’t accept advertising and don’t have any sponsors, we seem to mention Trader Joe’s snacks and various water-based drinks a LOT.
