You may think academia is for life, and for some people it is. But for many, the skills and knowledge acquired through research means it’s the springboard to a range of careers and pursuits. During the pandemic, being able to ‘talk science’ outside of the mainstream has never been more valuable. In this episode I’m joined by Shara Cohen, former scientist, serial entrepreneur and the founder of mumsinscience. We talk about her journey from academic to entrepreneur, why she started mumsinscience and what has helped her become a successful businesswoman.

#20: Talking Photography with Rankin
Think photography is about capturing something that looks good? Then you’re missing a trick. To be a photographer you need to understand your audience and express your perspective on the world through your images. Because iconic photographs don’t just look good. They make you feel something. In this episode I’m joined by Rankin, a photographer most known for his iconic images of David Bowie and the Queen, and his taboo breaking corporate campaigns. He’s passionate about telling stories visually and using photography to hold a mirror up to society.

#19: Talking Paediatric Healthcare with Florence Li
Talk to anyone who cares for a child and they’ll tell you how difficult, but ultimately rewarding it is. So when a child is sick, it takes a special kind of person to have the empathy, skill, and emotional resilience to care for them. In this episode I’m joined by Florence Li, a paediatric registrar at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Flo’s specialism in community paediatrics sees her navigating complex, emotionally charged situations when dealing with patients, relatives and other agencies involved in children and young people’s care. And key to providing that high standard of care? Effective communication.

#18: Talking Body and Mind with Doug Wilson
Let’s face it, we live in a fast-paced, technological world and it can be hard to catch a break. But self-reflection is so important in dealing with challenges and growing as a person. And in some cases, it can quite literally save your life. In this episode I’m joined by Doug Wilson, an IT infrastructure specialist, yoga teacher and public speaker. Doug is a testament to the power of the mind, battling a drug and alcohol addiction and a life-threatening brain tumour, and coming out those experiences with a respect and understanding for his body and mind. And a world record to boot.

Humans are complicated. Factor in the complex societal structures and imbalances in power, and it’s easy to see how mental health can be affected, both on an individual and on a community scale. In this episode I’m joined by Maria Qureshi, clinical psychologist and senior lecturer in clinical psychology. We talk about her interest in community psychology, and why she’s a strong advocate for understanding the way historical systems affect individuals and communities within our multicultural society.

#16: Talking Honesty with ONR
Many people will be able to tell you a piece of music that made them feel something. Music is a universal communicator, bypassing the restrictions of language and geography and influencing us at a primal level. I’m joined by ONR, singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist. We talk about his journey from rural Scotland to commercial artist, what he thinks makes a good song, and how honesty has helped him become a better songwriter.
