I have a podcast which is called The Science Intersection. A podcast where science meets policy. The aim is a multidisciplinary approach to look at societal issues such as climate change, allocation of health funding, ED&I and other issues.
New post: Why #careeradvice often focuses on getting people into jobs rather than helping them find roles where they can actually thrive. Exploring work fit, pacing, and neurodiversity.

I’ve written a new post about PMDD, resistance training, running, and how shifting focus from weight to strength changed my relationship with food without a neat recovery story.

I’ve written a new #blog post looking at #podcasts that model strong evidence use, intellectual honesty, and respect for the listener.

If we’re going to talk about #medialiteracy, it helps to name what’s done well, not just what’s done badly.

Long-form podcasts can feel like thinking but tone, confidence, and narrative can quietly replace evidence.
I wrote a short piece on why that matters, and how I try to approach my own podcast differently.

When harm happens, institutions face a choice:
👉 Acknowledge it and put survivors first
👉 Or deny & litigate for years

Too often, they choose the latter. Real healing starts with truth. #FromHarmToHealing
