What does gender representation in economics really look like today—and why does it matter? In this episode of Talk That Science, we’re joined by Kaneta Zillur, Head of Research at the Women in Economics Initiative (WiE), to explore the state of gender equality across academia, the private sector, and public institutions. Kaneta introduces us to the Women Economics Index, a tool that tracks female leadership globally, and unpacks this year’s spotlight on African economists. We discuss how the Index is built, what the numbers reveal (including it's surprising trends in Africa and the private sector), and why representation in leadership is so crucial for shaping policy, business, and the next generation of economists. Kaneta shares insights on the barriers women face, from the “leaky pipeline” to financial and caregiving pressures, and highlights the importance of mentorship and intersectional approaches—including amplifying voices from the Global South and addressing gaps in Asian data. Tune in for a deep dive into the challenges and progress of breaking up the glass ceiling in economics! Tracks played during the episode include: Tomar Ghorey - Anusheh Anadil Anxiety - Doechii No Hands - Joy Crookes Woman (Feat. Lianne La Havas) - Nao Host: Kira A big thanks to the Student Impact Center of the University of Amsterdam for supporting the show and to EchoBox Radio for hosting us! Join us for an great conversation on gender representation, leadership, and the future of economics.

Can we trust our political institutions? And how is that trust—or distrust—shaped over time? In this episode of Talk That Science, we sit down with Hannes Bey and Giovanni D’Agostino, PhD candidates in the Challenges to Democratic Representation research group at the University of Amsterdam, to explore the complexities of political trust. Giovanni investigates how young citizens develop trust or distrust in political institutions, while Hannes examines long-term trends in political trust at the macro level. We discuss how political trust is measured, what drives its decline, and how researchers determine when distrust becomes ‘critical’ or ‘blind.’ Giovanni walks us through his research on 14-year-olds and generational trends in trust, while Hannes sheds light on the gap between actual political trust and public perception. We also explore how education can both strengthen and divide democracies, shaping the way different groups relate to political institutions. And, of course, all of this is accompanied by some thought-provoking tracks! Tracks played during the episode include: Ho Visto Un Re – Enzo Jannacci The Mess We’re In – PJ Harvey What Did You Learn in School Today – Pete Seeger Hosts: Amity & Bronagh A big thanks to the Student Impact Center of the University of Amsterdam for financing our show and to EchoBox Radio for hosting us! Tune in for a timely discussion on political trust, democracy, and the factors shaping public perception today.

Are glaciers really disappearing? And what does that mean for our planet? In this episode of Talk That Science, we welcome back returning guest Marion Dugue, a PhD student at ETH Zurich, to uncover the role of satellite technology in glaciology and climate research. Marion shares insights from her master's thesis in applied geophysics, where she used satellite data to analyze glaciers, and explains why distinguishing different types of glaciers is crucial in the context of global warming. We also dive into the challenges of fieldwork in extreme environments like the Arctic Circle, the physical and logistical hurdles glaciologists face, and how their research contributes to our understanding of climate change. Plus, Marion tells us about her shift from glaciers to agricultural research and how space technology ties into it all. And of course, all this is accompanied by some sunny tunes to brighten your day! Tracks played during the episode include: Au Temps des Coquillages – Meimuna Mexico – Mar Malade Are You Experienced – Jimi Hendrix Hosts: Amity & Kira A big thanks to EchoBox Radio for hosting our show and to the Faculty of Science of the University of Amsterdam for supporting this project! Tune in for a fascinating discussion on glaciers, satellites, and the future of climate research.
