  • watson and crick did not win a nobel peace prize, they won in medicine-physiology

    When listening to a podcast for the first time, I start at the beginning. They do often get better over time as the podcaster gains experience. This podcaster gets positive points for clearly stating that she isn’t an expert, that she is learning along with the audience. I definitely allow a lot of slack for pronunciation, scientific terms are often difficult to pronounce or have >1 accepted pronunciation.

    But, while listening to episode #2, I turned it off after the 5th time the podcaster said ... more

  • Frustrating

    This podcasts interviews

    lots of great experts with a deep knowledge but always frustrates me because the technical stuff is never really addressed in any depth. With some genetic knowledge I repeatedly find it a missed opportunity, as the questions I want to ask are omitted. If it has a huge lay audience that’s fine, but not for me.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#344 Trans and Gender Diverse Patients' Experiences with Reproductive Healthcare
Q: How important is it that affirming care extends beyond the provider-patient encounter?
It's absolutely necessary because a patient's experience begins before they interact with providers, and ensuring an affirming environment is crucial.
#344 Trans and Gender Diverse Patients' Experiences with Reproductive Healthcare
Q: How can providers reframe language to be more inclusive?
By using less gendered terminology such as 'advanced parental age' instead of 'advanced maternal age' and referring to 'pregnant persons'.
#344 Trans and Gender Diverse Patients' Experiences with Reproductive Healthcare
Q: What inspired you to focus this study specifically on pregnancy-related genetic discussions with TGD individuals?
The literature gap in addressing TGD individuals' experiences in pregnancy-related genetics, despite their presence in these conversations.
#343 The First Child to Receive CRISPR for Duchenne? A Father’s Fight for a Cure
Q: How have conversations between you and Kati gone in terms of navigating and having him understand being a little different?
We've explained to William that everybody's muscles work differently and tried to keep the conversations age-appropriate.
#343 The First Child to Receive CRISPR for Duchenne? A Father’s Fight for a Cure
Q: What was that experience like of receiving the diagnosis?
It was difficult to process, especially since William showed no symptoms at first, making the diagnosis feel surreal.
