Associate professor Seana Gall is an epidemiologist who has dedicated her life to finding out how our population is affected by heart disease and stroke. 

She says that understanding what is behind the trends in these diseases can help us to prevent them. This is extremely important in Tasmania where some of the risk factors are higher than we would like them to be - but she says it’s easier to keep track of people here over the course of a long term study.

We are were thrilled to have our first visionary epidemiologist step into the spotlight for this episode.
