This podcast series is brought to you by the Science Communication and Magazine Working Groups of the Max Planck Society PhD network.
We want to make the process of getting a doctorate more transparent and raise awareness about possible career opportunities for doctoral researchers inside and outside of academia. We discuss topics of Open Science and research assessment, diversity and EO in science and academia, scientific research, and other PhD matters.

#5-12 - Investigating the Cause of Multiple Sclerosis - ft. Dr. Marianna Cortese
In this episode, Marcel interviews Dr. Marianna Cortese, a senior research scientist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in the US. Dr. Cortese is an expert in the epidemiology of the autoimmune disease Multiple Sclerosis (MS). In 2022, she co-first-authored a landmark study revealing that infection with Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) increases the risk of developing MS 32-fold — a breakthrough in understanding the disease’s causes. She discusses the key findings, their broader implications, and the dream of one day eradicating MS.
