David Beckham, Malaria and PhD Upgrade Viva's -What is the connection?
In this episode, Dr. Bahijja Raimi-Abraham interviews Lina Wu, a PhD researcher in her research group (www.theraimiabrahamgroup.com) . They discuss Lina's motivation for pursuing a PhD, her research on engineering human liver stage malaria spheroids, and her experience meeting David Beckham as part of a malaria campaign. They also talk about Lina's upgrade viva and offer advice for preparing for and navigating the viva process. Lina shares her memorable experiences and breakthroughs in her PhD journey and expresses her goals and aspirations for the future. Takeaways Doing a PhD allows researchers to solve problems, be focused on a question, and find solutions. It's important to have a strong foundation of knowledge in your research area and be able to explain concepts to others. During the upgrade viva, it's okay to say 'I don't know' and commit to looking into the question further. Nerves are common during the upgrade viva, but preparation and confidence in your knowledge can help overcome them.

The Science Behind the Film - The Pod Generation
In this episode, Dr. Bahijja Raimi-Abraham reviews the film 'The Pod Generation' and discusses the scientific concepts behind it. The film explores the idea of growing and developing an embryo outside the natural biological womb in an artificial environment. Dr. Raimi-Abraham delves into the research on artificial wombs and womb-on-chip technology, highlighting the potential benefits and ethical considerations. She also discusses the director's perspective on societal pressures related to pregnancy and motherhood. Overall, she gives the film a strong four out of five rating for its thought-provoking themes and excellent acting. Takeaways The film 'The Pod Generation' explores the concept of growing and developing an embryo outside the natural biological womb in an artificial environment. Research on artificial wombs and womb-on-chip technology is still in the theoretical stage, but there are promising developments in sustaining preterm fetuses and modeling the maternal-fetal interface. The film raises important ethical considerations, such as parental bonding, the risk of designer babies, and the integration of AI in reproductive technology. Societal pressures related to pregnancy and motherhood, as well as financial incentives for women to delay childbirth, are highlighted in the film.
