Women's Health student, Olivia Moir has launched a new podcast, It All Starts Here. This podcast aims to bring awareness to critical topics in the fields of reproductive science and women’s health – topics that are often not discussed enough. Each episode features a researcher or clinician affiliated with the EGA Institute for Women's Health, who discusses their passions and work, offering pieces of advice for our listeners. The podcast covers a range of topics and will focus on creating content that is understandable to individuals from all levels of education and backgrounds - no science experience required!

Olivia started the podcast to amplify the work many researchers are doing, and bridge the gap between research work and individuals learning about the findings, she comments “Over the last few years of participating in research in different groups around the world, one thing that I’ve found to be true no matter what part of the world you are in, is there is loads of incredible research and clinical work being done, with invaluable applications for our health, but the communication of this research both between different research groups, as well as, perhaps most importantly, to outside audiences and the public, is nowhere near as effective as it should be.  This podcast aims to close this gap, helping individuals and communities from various backgrounds learn about topics in reproductive science and women’s health with evidence-based information – no background in science required!” 

Listen to the It All Starts Here Podcast.
