    Endometriosis Redux

    In a follow-up from the live in-conversation of Einstein-A-Go-Go two years ago, this guest-packed show revisits the topic of endometriosis. Shane is joined in the studio by Dr Susi and Dr Lauren to interview two surgeons and two scientists. Dr Kate Tyson is a gynaecologist and advanced laparoscopic surgeon who directs the Julia Argyrou Endometriosis Centre at Epworth. Dr Samantha Mooney is an obstetrician and gynaecologist at the Mercy Hospital for Women, and also the University of Melbourne as part of the End-IT Endometriosis group. Kate and Samantha talk about the complex nature of endometriosis as a condition, and the use of different types of imaging technology to guide surgical choices. Also joining the show are Dr Fiona Cousins and Dr Harriet Fitzgerald, both research fellows at the Hudson Institute of Medical Research with Monash University. Harriet shares her research about the cause of endometriosis, and Fiona is conducting research on immunotherapy drug treatments for endometriosis to try and reduce or avoid surgery. Susi and Lauren also share science news about the recent approval of a non-opioid pain relief drug by the American Food and Drug Administration, and the science behind why we all want to desperately scratch that itch.

    What Would You Bring To The Year 1000?

    Joining Dr Shane in the studios for the final show of 2024 are Chris KP, Dr Ray and Dr Scarlett. No studio guests for the special final show, instead Dr Shane presents the team with a thought experiment. What would they do if they were transported back to the year 1000 ad they could only bring one item or idea? A fascinating discussion ensues.

    Gastroenterology and inherited diseases

    Hosts: Dr Shane, Dr Suzie, Dr Linden News Items: Rivers function in our world, intermittent fasting, 1st guest: Dakota Rhys-Jones is a PhD student and Accredited Practicing Dietitian at Monash University's Department of Gastroenterology, School of Translational Medicine, The Alfred Centre. Dakota's PhD focuses on the role of diet in inflammatory bowel disease, specifically patients with ulcerative colitis who then go onto getting their large intestine removed and the formation of an ileoanal pouch. Patients with a pouch have the last part of their small intestine sewn to their anus so that they can defecate normally, and although the diseased colon is removed, problems can arise, such as inflammation of the pouch. We know that diet plays a role in IBD, but knowledge around diet and pouches is limited, so patients and clinicians are left at a bit of a loss when discussing diet. 2nd guest: Dr Natalia Sampaio from the Hudson Institute on auto inflammatory and rare inherited diseases. Thank you and farewell to Dr Linden! Program page: Einstein-A-Go-GoFacebook page: Einstein-A-Go-GoX: Einstein-A-Go-Go

    Hail Stones, Brain Size, Auditory Processing, and Gut Health in Space

    Join us for an engaging episode featuring Lucy Shiels, an audiologist from the University of Melbourne, who specialises in assessing and supporting listening difficulties in neurodivergent children. She investigates whether remote microphone technology can enhance focus for children with ADHD and autism in noisy classroom environments. Samantha Melrose, a graduate researcher under the supervision of Professor Patrick Humbert at the La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science, discusses her exciting research into gut health in astronauts exposed to low gravity environments and her Gastronaut-01 experimental mission to space on the rocket Mapheus-15 campaign in Kiruna, Sweden. In our weekly science news segment, we explore intriguing topics such as the structure of large hailstones and the evolution of human brain size. Tune in with presenters Dr. Shane, Dr. Lauren, and Dr. Ray for an informative and captivating episode. Program page: Einstein-A-Go-GoFacebook page: Einstein-A-Go-GoTwitter: Einstein-A-Go-Go

    Organoids, legumes and lambs

    What’s the point of science if you can’t communicate what you’ve discovered? This week Dr Shane spends time with four of Australia’s FameLab finalists: early career scientists who present their original findings with just 3 minutes (and a prop)!  Dr Clair Richards from the University of Technology Sydney expands on her work on preeclampsia and growing placental organoids, so that research can be conducted without further risk to mothers or their babies.  Murdoch University animal production scientist, Georgia Welsh discusses her work on winter lambing management by providing different feed and shelter options.  Auriane Drack, a PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne and Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute, shares her work navigating the complexities of treating heart disease. Finally, FameLab 2024 winner and PhD candidate Johannes Debler from Curtin University and the Centre for Crop and Disease Management discusses the arms-race between fungus and many of the legumes that are critical part of our agriculture.

    A Superstars of STEM special - brain health, sharks and radio astronomy

    This week’s episode is a Superstars of STEM special edition, with resident Superstar of STEM Dr Susi inviting three of her fellow Superstars to talk about their science on air. Dr Shane is joined in the studio by regular co-hosts Chris KP and Dr Susi, recruiting all listeners for CSIRO’s latest citizen science project - the “Chart Your Fart” app. The guests are Dr Sophie Andrews, a Senior Research Fellow and Lead of the Healthy Brain Ageing Research Program in the Thompson Institute at the University of the Sunshine Coast, talking about how lifestyle (like exercise, diet and sleep quality) can impact brain and cognitive health and reduce risk for dementia. The second guest is Dr Charlotte Birkmanis, Shark researcher at a Marine Foundation and Postdoctoral Researcher at the Max Planck Centre in Queensland talking all things sharks, why we need them for a healthy ocean and her children’s book ‘Little Shark Lulu Goes To Sleep’. She was followed by Dr Laura Driessen from the Sydney Institute for Astrophysics (SIfA) at the University of Sydney, talking about Radio Astronomy and how she uses data from Australian Radio Telescopes to look at radio stars.
