Ep#7: Policing Science and Science Policy - What Role does Science Play in the Government?
Research Radio
Climate change, is it real or not? Vaccines, do they give our kids autism? Abortion laws, who does it benefit? How do we overcome ill-informed ideas, miscommunication, and personal convictions that plague any attempt towards an educated discourse and address these questions in an evidence-based way? . In today’s episode, we discuss the role of science and that researchers have in encouraging our government leaders on impartial policy-making that can then better people’s lives.

Ep#6: Cardiovascular Research in Women- Forgetting the Other Half
Research Radio
This week, we interview Dr. Paula Harvey, Physician in Chief, Clinician Investigator and Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine, University of Toronto and Women’s College Hospital. Dr. Harvey's research focuses on cardiovascular disease in women across the lifespan. She is particularly interested in addressing the differences in cardiovascular disease risk between men and women to improve disease outcomes

After Lab-Hours: Women in Stem
Research Radio
In this more casual episode from Research Radio, you will finally get introduced to the team behind Research Radio where we discuss International Women’s Day and what it means to us, as well as the experiences of being a woman in STEM. Then we discuss the life of being a graduate student and we share some of the challenges we’ve faced as well why we got into research in the first place. In the end, we talk about how we can empower the underrepresented in pursuing STEM careers.

Ep#3: Journey to the Centre of Diabetes
Research Radio
Do you ever wonder how your body recovers from the consequences of over-eating? What happens when the body is unable to keep up with an excessive intake of calories? Join Cindy, a young scientist, as she interviews Dr. Patricia Brubaker and her PhD student Alexandre Martchenko to investigate the “anti-diabetic” role of intestinal hormones and how they’re being used to manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Ep#1: Pregnancy Complications and Medical Imaging - Can MRI be used as a safe screening tool?
Research Radio
If you or someone you knew was suffering from a complicated pregnancy - would you enrol in a rigorous medical imaging study? Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the potential to detect pregnancy problems, and although it is a very sensitive imaging technique, it does not come without some drawbacks. Tune into the pilot episode of Research Radio to hear how a 2nd year Master's student, Antara, realizes the power of medical imaging as a diagnostic tool, and interviews Dr. Kartik Jhaveri for his perspective.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the potential to detect pregnancy problems, and although it is a very sensitive imaging technique it does not come without some drawbacks. Tune into the pilot episode of Research Radio to hear how a 2nd year Master's student, Antara, overcomes her ethical reservations about imaging at-risk pregnant women and soon realizes the power of medical imaging in helping to diagnose patients. She sits down with Dr. Kartik Jhaveri (MD, FRCPC ,Professor, Director) who made it clear that imaging has a huge role to play in improving patient outcome, and that the outcome of patients should be the focus of innovation in radiology and medical biophysics. It is important to always be critical of the implications of a research study, and that is what we hope to do at Research Radio!
