Behind Our Science

Behind Our Science Podcast aims to close the gap in understanding the complex mechanisms driving disease formation and engage the general public and research advocates. We will engage the public by explaining the latest exciting biomedical innovations in simple terms free from jargon and emphasize the importance of supporting continued research in the biomedical sciences. We will explain the importance of how understanding fundamental mechanisms driving diseases provides a solid foundation for breakthroughs in scientific research.https://asippathways.com/behind-our-science/

Woo! Happy New Year!

In our 26th episode, the Behind Our Science team interviews reflects on our past 7 episodes produced in 2024! We still can't believe we have made so many episodes and gotten the opportunities to travel and meet some amazing scientists along the way.

One of the highlights of the Behind Our Science team was our recent travel to Australia and New Zealand!!! The team submitted and presented our individual research abstracts at the 2024 Biomolecular Horizons Congress that took place in Melbourne, NSW, Australia. Dr. Roberto Mota-Alvidrez and Dr. Vik Meadows also got the opportunity to travel to Sydney to present at Dr. Daisy Shu's home institution, University of New South Wales. Dr. Mota-Alvidrez and Dr. Meadows also explored New Zealand - a once in a lifetime opportunity for our team! We hope you enjoy our segment highlighting the 12 apostles park, Jervis Bay, lemon lime and bitters tasting, Koala sightings, conference speed interviews, and the beauty of Australia.

We also celebrate some career and personal achievements this year including cross-country moves, grants, engagements, publications, and lots of conferences! We believe it is so important to celebrate all the wins, big or small, to combat imposter syndrome and survive as researchers. We want to hear your wins - let us know in the comments below or tag us on our social media! As always, thank you for tuning in. Stay curious!
