Tessa Voerman continues exploring various aspects of conducting research in the jungle. In this second part, she discusses fieldwork in French Guiana with Martijn Ruisbroek and Wout Damen, two students from the Environmental Biology GSLS Master’s program. They share insights into the experience of working in the jungle, preparations one should make, and the biodiversity of the region.

In today's episode, Tessa Voerman introduces a two-part series on the fascinating topic of 'Research in Jungle'. In this first part, she talks about fieldwork in Suriname with Ronja Knippers, a PhD Candidate focusing on Human-Wildlife Coexistence, and Julia Blok, a master’s student in the Ecology & Natural Resource Management track within the Environmental Biology Master’s program about their research interests and real life experiences doing their field work. They also give tips to those graduate students who are interested in doing similar research.

In today's episode, Anastasia talks to Farah Kools who is defending her PhD dissertation on translational science in April 2024. Farah's dissertation urges a reevaluation and
redesign of current academic reward systems, advocating for an approach that is more aligned with
the intrinsic motivations of researchers to impact patient care.

In today's episode, Lisa will be talking to Christine Fox, the course coordinator for the History of Medicine course. This course is an interdisciplinary course that is available for both GSLS and History of Philosophy Science students.
