Einstein A Go-Go Triple R Podcasts

Dr Shane is joined in the studio by regular co-hosts Chris KP and Dr Ray, sharing their science news of the week. This week’s guests are Gabriel Lubieniecki, a PhD candidate in the Body Image and Eating Disorders Research Group at Monash University, focussing on the critical role healthcare workers play in the treatment and management of eating disorders. The second guest is Dr Niall Geoghegan, Senior Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Dynamic Imaging at WEHI, researching how the malaria causing parasite, Plasmodium, invades red blood cells and initiates the symptomatic stage of disease, and Dr Natalia Sampan from the Centre for Innate Immunity and Infectious Diseases at the Hudsons Institute, talking about how our cells detect that they have been infected, and how they fight back.

Dr Shane is joined by co-hosts, Dr Jen Martin and Dr Euan Ritchie. PhD Candidate Isabella Crebert from the University of Newcastle talks about forensic anthropology; PhD Candidate Nicholas Cheng from Monash University talks about psychotic disorders; and Dr. Laura Bird from Monash University talks about cognitive health. In science news: language in whales, defensive behaviour of the dice snake, the Auroras.

Presenter Dr Shane is joined by Drs Allie and Linden for the latest science news. Dr Darren Haywood, postdoctoral research fellow in the Faculty of Health at the University of Technology Sydney investigates changes in concentration, memory, thinking speed and decision-making in people with a previous diagnosis of cancer. How can we support people after cancer? Dr Wenyi Li, researcher in the Department of Biochemistry and Chemistry at La Trobe University chats all things antimicrobial pepties and looks at whether they could be an alternative to conventional antibiotics.

Dr Shane is joined by EAGG regulars Chris KP and Suzi, and 20 special guests as part of the ‘20 PHD Students in 20 minutes’ program. A wide range of expertise and insight covered in this special, including but not limited to; anti-hypertension medication, eating disorders in a prison environment, diabetes, fatty liver disease, forensic anthropology, Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), stem cell research, oral health in boarding school, sleeping gene cells and much, much more!

Dr. Jen and Dr. Shane host a celebration for the Day of Immunology with three distinguished guests. First, Lauren Howson from WEHI's Immunology Division delves into the roles of "unconventional" immune cells in human disease, aiming to guide new therapeutic strategies, particularly for inherited primary immunodeficiency (PID). Then, Dr. Alexander Davenport, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at WEHI, focuses on enhancing T cell killing of tumour cells, targeting novel protein targets for pediatric brain cancer immunotherapies, notably Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG). Lastly, writer and poet Alicia Sometimes explores dark energy and gravitational waves through art installations and collaborations with scientists, culminating in her book "Stellar Atmospheres" which combines physics, science communication, and personal experiences like her battle with breast cancer.
