Elektricitet som läker kroppen
Maria Asplund känner en djup fascination för hjärnan och det centrala nervsystemet. Som forskare kombinerar hon klassisk ingenjörsvetenskap med medicin, och använder elektronik för att läka kroppen och återskapa förlorade kroppsfunktioner. I Verapodden berättar hon om sin forskning på artificiella synintryck alstrade av elektriska impulser, inplantat i ryggmärgen som kan ge tillbaka rörelseförmågan i förlamade kroppsdelar och förband som dirigerar hudceller att täcka över svårläkta sår. – Nervsystemet är i grunden ett elektriskt system, där nerver kommunicerar med elektriska och kemiska signaler, säger Maria Asplund, som berättar att en stor utmaning är att ta fram material som håller länge, är smidiga och tolereras av mänsklig vävnad. Maria Asplund är professor i bioelektronisk mikroteknologi och ledare för Chalmers Styrkeområde för Hälsa och teknik. Programledare för Verapodden är Malin Avenius.

Get the job done – or learn?
What happens to our ideas and our voice when we let AI help us write? Researcher Baraa Khuder has followed how students and researchers use generative AI – and observed that new insights only emerge when AI is combined with real colleagues. Those who skip human feedback in the process learn less, feel more dissatisfied, and generate fewer original ideas. At the same time, Baraa Khuder argues that the technology can make academia more accessible for students and researchers who do not have English as their mother tongue. In Verapodden she explains what happens to language in AI-generated texts, and how her perspective on knowledge and learning has been shaped by fleeing from a university in one of the world's most dangerous cities. She also discusses how feedback can be crucial for researchers in exile – sometimes the difference between continuing and giving up.

Kan 70-talets oljekris lära oss om klimatomställning?
(Podcast-interview in English after a short introduction in Swedish. English text below) Jessica Jewell blandar teknik och samhällsvetenskap i sin forskning. Genom att studera historiska energiomställningar vill hon ta reda på vilka klimatåtgärder som har störst potential att införas och skapa effekt på kortast tid. För trots att vi vet ganska mycket om vad som behöver göras för att minska koldioxidutsläppen ur ett naturvetenskapligt perspektiv, så är det faktorer som politik och ekonomi som i praktiken både kan bromsa och accelerera omställningen av samhället. -- Can the 70s Oil Crisis Teach Us About Energy Transition? Jessica Jewell blends technology and social sciences in her research. By studying historical energy transitions, she aims to discover which climate actions have the greatest potential for rapid implementation and impact. While we understand much about reducing carbon dioxide emissions from a natural science perspective, it's often political and economic factors that hinder or accelerate society's transition. Jessica Jewell is a professor in the Division of Physical Resource Theory at the Department of Space, Earth and Environment at Chalmers University of Technology, and a Senior Lecturer at the University of Bergen, Norway. She has previously worked at universities and research institutes in countries including the USA, Hungary, France, and Austria. She has also contributed as an author to the UN's climate and energy reports and serves on the editorial board for several scientific journals.
