#madeatucl season 2 by UCL
In our final episode of this series, Cassidy and Cerys reflect on some of their favourite interviews. They share updates from guests and discuss the ground-breaking research that has really surprised or changed them in the course of making the podcast.
This month's episode is about awareness and the activism it can lead to. Join us as we talk to three members of the UCL community who are making meaningful change to combat the problems they have been confronted by. Cassidy spoke with Hope Oloye, a PhD student whose programme Thinking Black is breaking down barriers to higher education, Virginie Le Masson, a geographer working with women across the world to understand the impacts of climate change through a feminist lens, and Emilia Molimpakis, a neuroscientist and entrepreneur who is revolutionising mental health care.
Act 1 - Dr Owain Rhys Hughes
In this month’s episode of #MadeAtUCL we’re growing. Join us as we explore three unique perspectives on growth and how it can be both a positive and negative concept. We chat with Dr Michelle Heys and Dr Simbarashe Chimhuya and hear about their technical solution to newborn healthcare, with Dr Philip Pogge Von Strandmann about how we can reduce the growing levels of co2 in the atmosphere, and lastly with Dr Seb Coxon to learn how beards of medieval Germany can help us understand masculinity today.
In this episode, #MadeAtUCL goes to Mars! We hear about the incredible UCL work that is helping to send a Rover (and maybe one day even a person) to the Red Planet as well as what we might find when we get there.
In this episode we’re exploring the value of freedom, from the people who found it in the bleakest of circumstances to the ways in which we restrict our own freedom (and the freedom of others) without even realising it.
In this episode we're talking about saving the planet with Professor Mark Maslin, a climate change expert and author of "How to Save the Planet: the Facts". Mr Manish Chand, Associate Professor in Surgery, joins us to discuss how he's using the latest technology to make surgery smarter and less invasive to save lives. We also talk to Dr Dexter Penn, creator of an app that can help identify vulnerable people at risk of being financially abused.
Join Cassidy for April’s podcast which talks about Pain: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Hear about the woman that feels no pain, less terrifying trips to the dentist, and being able to visualise and communicate pain.
This month's theme is VOICE. We're finding out how people are regaining their voice after their voice boxes are removed; how a group of LGBTQ + refugees in Brazil are using film to tell their stories; and how health students and advocates are sharing the impact of their work through poetry.
Touch. The sensation, the loss of it and gaining it back. Finding ways to keep in touch with those that need it most. Making the most of digital technologies and language to communicate - find out more in the very first episode of Season 2!
Welcome to Season 2 of the #MadeAtUCL Podcast. In each episode, we find three diverse stories from the UCL collective, three stories that celebrate the different types of communities connected to UCL, three stories that shine a spotlight on the incredible research and volunteer contributions that helped to make this world a better place. Three stories that, at first, might not seem connected, but they are.
