Interconnected Educational Resources  You may have heard about our new research infographics, but did you know that each one also has an associated podcast? Infographics have their origins in full-length articles from our journal, IJTMB. Each article is discussed in an episode of our podcast, Research Perch. Perch podcasts are a perfect way to explore research while on a walk or during your commute. Infographics further distill the key content from the articles to make exploring research quick, easy, and accessible. They are available in multiple formats so they can be shared easily. Make an impact by sharing with friends, colleagues, and even clients! Explore current and upcoming research infographics at: http://massagetherapyfoundation.org/research-infographics/
