A podcast aimed to bridge the gap between Scientists and non-Science people, to translate the challenges and exciting work that researchers do and bring their work forward to the public eye.
#27 teaser: Women's health research: why better treatments take decades with Dr Kajal Parikh
Why has women's health research taken so long to translate into better treatments? In this conversation, Dr Kajal Parikh from Nuher explores the evolution of women's healthcare, from endometriosis and adenomyosis to menopause and hormone therapy.
We discuss why diagnosing a disease is only the beginning, how long-term studies shape medical understanding, and why awareness and access to better diagnostics matter. Scientific evidence evolves over time - but could women's health have progressed faster if it had received greater research attention earlier?
Listen to Being a Scientist for conversations that make science accessible and connect research to everyday life.

#28: Women’s Health: The Past, Present and Future with Ida Tin
Women’s health has been under-prioritised for too long. What will it take to change that? All of us!
In this live podcast conversation, I speak with Ida Tin, co-founder of Clue and mother of the term "Femtech", about the past, present and future of women’s health.
We discuss the questions that have been neglected, why continuous hormone monitoring could transform how we understand health, and why this moment calls for bold thinking across science, technology, entrepreneurship, investment and public policy.
This conversation is an invitation to everyone, not only women’s health founders or researchers, to take part in building a more informed, equitable and innovative future for women’s health.
In this episode:
Why women’s health innovation has taken so long
The hormone data gap
Continuous hormone monitoring and health technology
The role of the Government program (SPRIND) in accelerating innovation
What researchers, founders, investors and the public can do

#21: Making Biology Fun for Kids via science games with Poorti Kathpalia
Can a game make children more curious about biology?
In this video podcast episode, I speak with Poorti Kathpalia - neuroscientist, science communicator and creator of The Gene Game - about making science more engaging for children in India.
Poorti shares how she noticed a gap: there were few playful, accessible ways for young learners to explore biology outside the traditional classroom. Rather than waiting for something to change, she created The Gene Game: a hands-on, curiosity-led way to bring scientific concepts to life.
We also discuss the changing field of science communication, why scientists are increasingly stepping beyond the lab to speak directly with the public, and how better communication can make science feel more relevant, approachable and exciting.
In this conversation:
The origin story of The Gene Game
Why science education needs play and curiosity
From neuroscience to science communication
Making biology more accessible for children
The rise of science communicators in India
Why scientists need to engage with the public
