0:09.7	and we have collected a lot more data on COVID-19. I'm going to be joined by our brilliant WOOP VP of
0:15.5	data science and research, Emily Capitaluppo, in a second. But first, a reminder of the WIPP podcast
0:20.8	is where we sit down
0:22.2	with top athletes, scientists, and experts to learn more about what the best in the world
0:26.7	doing to perform at their peak. And what you can do to unlock your own best performance,
0:32.2	I'm your host, Will Amit, founder and CEO of Woop. We're still on a mission to unlock
