Podcast Overview

I’m Ju Young, a neuroscientist originally from Korea, trained in Germany, and now working in the Netherlands. Igwa (pronounced Ee-gwa, 이과) is the Korean word for “science major”. Growing up, I didn’t see many examples of female scientists, which made it difficult for me to imagine myself as a future scientist. That’s why I started this podcast — not to be a role model, but to be one of many references for those who want to imagine. On this channel, I talk with researchers about science, technology, and society — from neuroscience and science policy to women’s health and beyond.

Reconstructing the Clitoris - with Dr. Maryam En-Nosse

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Maryam En-Nosse, a gynecologist and gynecologic oncologist at the University Hospital Giessen in Germany, with additional training in plastic reconstructive surgery focused on the vulva and clitoris.We trace her path from global health and oncology into one of the most neglected areas of women's health — and what it meant to step off a conventional university career track to train in microsurgical reconstruction under a pioneer in the field.Our conversation covers:<ul><li>Training gap among clinicians about the clitoris and Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) </li><li>What reconstructive surgery actually restores — form and function — and how it differs from aesthetic procedures</li><li>Rebuilding with a patient's own tissue after FGM, cancer, or trauma</li><li>Building capacity internationally — including a train-the-trainer project at KCMC Hospital in Tanzania </li></ul>When I asked about her vision for the future, her answer was simple and unwavering:"I think all women deserve the best care."

The Bias Burden in Women’s Health- with Gabrielle Paquette

In this episode, we speak with Gabrielle Paquette, a women’s health researcher and consultant based in the UK, about the structural gaps in women’s healthcare and the realities of building in Femtech.We explore her journey from neuroscience to reproductive health, and her mixed-methods research on heavy menstrual bleeding—highlighting how patient voices reveal barriers in accessing care within the NHS. The conversation also dives into the “Bias Burden Report,”* uncovering how Femtech founders face censorship, financial exclusion, and systemic misclassification as “adult content.”From delayed diagnoses and trial-and-error treatments to algorithmic bias and funding inequality, this episode sheds light on how women’s health remains underfunded—and what needs to change. *Link: https://www.censhership.co.uk/research
