Podcasts about interdisciplinary research

Guest Lisa Goldman Rosas is an authority on public health who says that food insecurity goes deeper than hunger and can lead to chronic diabetes, heart disease, and even anxiety and depression. Rosas champions a concept she calls “nutrition security,” which focuses on food's health value over mere calories. She discusses her work with “Recipe4Health,” an Alameda County-led program that issues produce prescriptions, offers health coaching, and integrates electronic health records to improve diets and well-being. Food is medicine, Rosas tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

From Olympic training to injury prevention, Luxembourg hosts the world's brightest minds to prove why maths might just be sport's secret superpower. After a round-up of mid-week news with Sasha Kehoe, my guests this week are: - Prof. Christophe Ley – Main organiser of MathSport International; leads the Modelling, Interdisciplinary Research, Data Science, Applied Mathematics and Statistics group at the University of Luxembourg.  - Prof. Romain Seil – World-renowned orthopaedic knee surgeon, IOC advisor, Director of the Neurosciences and Musculoskeletal Diseases Division at Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg; co-founder of the European Society of Sports Traumatology, knee Surgery and Arthroscopy - ESSKA's Pediatric ACL registry and previous President of ESSKA, amongst many other organisations. - Prof. Thorben Hülsdünker – Professor in Performance Neuroscience and Sport Neurophysiology, Head of the Neurophysiology and Motor Control Research Area at LUNEX. - Alwin de Prins – Former Olympian and Managing Director at the Luxembourg Institute for High Performance in Sports (LIHPS) - Katarzyna Szczerba – PhD student with Prof. Ley, using machine learning with medical data to best use this data for injury prevention, and much more.  This week on The Lisa Burke Show, we dive deep into a blend of brain and brawn as Luxembourg hosts the 11th International MathSport Conference. While it may sound niche, what's unfolding here could revolutionise how athletes train, recover—and even avoid career-ending injuries. And not just athletes as many injuries are caused by people unprepared for activities they undertake once a year, such as skiing. Held from June 4–6 in the Coque and LUNEX University, the conference unites elite athletes, data scientists, surgeons and policymakers to explore how mathematics, data science and AI are transforming global sport. A Surgeon's Warning Professor Romain Seil, Luxembourg's globally celebrated knee specialist, put it bluntly: "If I could ban two sports for injury prevention, it would be football and alpine skiing." His data from years in the operating room is compelling. ACL injuries are devastating, often leading to early joint replacements. Professor Seil hopes we can increasingly pool real data to reform training, and embed prevention strategies from grass-roots to Olympic levels. “Coaches often don't realise the long-term damage until multiple players are injured. Data is how we change that.” Brains Behind the Brawn Professor Thorben Hülsdünker of LUNEX added another dimension with a focus on the connection of our body with our brain. He studies the neurophysiology of elite performance, from how athletes see and react, and how training can rewire the brain. “The brain is the next frontier of sports training,” he said. “Understanding it will define the next generation of champions.” Prof Hülsdünker knows that the best training targets both muscles and minds, combining sport science with neuroscience. AI Gets Personal PhD student AI-enhanced Cox Model blends machine learning with statistical models to predict runner injuries, and other medical issues, before they happen. “We're building tools that doctors and coaches can understand: simple, interpretable, but powerful enough to prevent injury.” Her AI-enhanced Cox Model is one of the standout presentations at MathSport 2025. From Pool to Policy Alwin de Prins, a three-time Olympic swimmer and now Director of LIHPS, reflects on what's changed since his competitive days: “I never had this level of support as an athlete. Now, our goal is to optimise not just performance, but well-being and life after sport.” His mission includes dual career planning, athlete health, and placing Luxembourg firmly on the map as a sporting—and scientific—nation. Why Luxembourg? Why Now? Professor Christophe Ley, the heart of this year's conference, pulled it all together: “Sport is full of data. We want to extract meaning from it—not just for medals, but for health, safety, and strategy.” With keynote talks ranging from sports analytics to injury prevention and economics, MathSport 2025 puts Luxembourg at the centre of a growing global movement: data-driven sport. https://www.linkedin.com/in/alwindeprins/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/christophe-ley-b71607166/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/romain-seil-9952172a/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/thorbenhuelsduenker/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/katarzyna-szczerba-4402b9192/ Get in touch  Tune in to The Lisa Burke Show on Today Radio Saturdays at 11am, Sundays at noon, and Tuesdays at 11am.

Deborah Kado is a geriatrician who believes her field is misunderstood. Her interest in the science of aging began with a childhood encounter in a nursing home but recently resulted in intriguing work in which Kado linked microbes in the gut to vitamin D metabolism and poor sleep. Kado refuses to blame aging alone for health problems, advocating for better care regardless of age. It's never too late to strive for better health, Kado tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

“You have all the different languages interplaying with each other. Little scraps of Irish languages and idioms have stories that have been told, but how Ireland actually comes about as an idea, as to where the Irish come from. A lot of these kinds of debates are just placed, you know, in day-to-day conversation, and then they trail off. People start something; they trail off and might come back to it later. That phenomenon of speaking over each other, tales that are known and not known, I always found very interesting. It was literally like a radio that was kept on all day in the kitchen.You would come in and out, and you would hear certain things, and you'd have to work out the context and the conversation and the speakers. In some way, one of the big personalities in the book is just a radio that's playing, and some of these conversations are not actually taking place between characters in real-time. They're just snippets that have been overheard on radios.”Patrick Healy was born in Dublin in 1955. He studied philosophy and Semitic languages at St. Columbans Dalgan Park, Pontifical University Maynooth, and University College Dublin. He has published over 20 books on topics around artists, aesthetic theory, philosophy of science, architecture, art criticism and innumerable essays.

Patrick Healy's novel Beyond the Pale explores memory, time, childhood, and how language shapes our world. Set in rural Ireland, starting in the 1950s, the book follows a young boy's early memories through a series of expressionistic soundscapes. The expression from which the book takes its name has come to mean beyond what is considered acceptable behavior, but the origins of the phrase referred to land within Ireland that was “beyond the control of the English government.” Healy's book examines social class, stigma, village, family life, identity, and the nature of consciousness. Rooted in the oral tradition, the book is a celebration of place, the Irish idiom, music, and memory.Patrick Healy was born in Dublin in 1955.

What You Will Learn- The significance of feed efficiency in beef cattle production- How nutrient utilization, especially nitrogen, impacts production and the environment- The relationship between feeding practices and environmental concerns- The role of rumen fistulation in studying cattle digestion- The economic implications of different protein sources for cattle Feed EfficiencyDr. Foote's research emphasizes the critical role of feed efficiency in beef cattle, particularly within feedlot and grazing systems. By improving feed efficiency, producers can enhance their profitability while also reducing the environmental footprint of beef production. Nutrient UtilizationUnderstanding how cattle utilize nutrients, particularly nitrogen, is essential for improving production efficiency. Dr. Foote explains that better nutrient utilization not only boosts economic returns but also mitigates environmental impacts, such as water quality issues and greenhouse gas emissions. Environmental ConcernsThe podcast highlights the connection between nitrogen efficiency and environmental challenges. By optimizing feeding practices, producers can address these concerns while maintaining productivity, showcasing the importance of sustainable agricultural practices. Rumen FistulationDr. Foote discusses rumen fistulation, a surgical procedure that allows researchers to gain direct access to the rumen for studying digestive processes. This method provides valuable insights into how cattle digest and absorb nutrients, which is crucial for enhancing feed efficiency. Economic ImplicationsThe economic aspects of different protein sources for cattle are also explored. Dr. Foote suggests that higher-quality feeds can lead to better long-term benefits, particularly for producers who may not be able to feed daily, emphasizing the need for strategic feeding practices. Important QuoteDr. Foote emphasizes the importance of understanding the economic benefits of efficient feeding strategies, stating, "If we can identify some of these mechanisms, maybe eventually we could manipulate them for the producer's benefit."

Listen to this interview of Jacob Krüger, Assistant Professor for Software Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands. We talk about peer review in software engineering — what it is, and what it might be. Jacob Krüger : "When you submit to broad-themed conferences like ICSE or FSE, you cannot assume much background knowledge on individual tools or techniques which are really, let's say, the standard in your home community. Because, to succeed as such conferences as those, your really need to communicate explicitly to your reviewers what you have done, which steps you have taken, the techniques you have used and for which reasons — so, basically, you have to explain each design decision of your study. Of course, at a small domain conference, many of these things will be obvious — but not to all reviewers at a large conference, because, remember, these are the conferences where many communities gather — here your reviewers are likely to be very diverse in their research. So, it is the authors' job to explain and justify every move in the study.” Link to the paper where Jacob talks about the process of review Learn more about your ad choices.

Notes:- Rutger Leukfeldt discusses his background and how he became involved in cybersecurity research. - The importance of cybersecurity education and the new cybersecurity bachelor program at Leiden University. - The need for a multidisciplinary approach to cybersecurity, which includes not only technical skills but also social and legal aspects. - Hack_Right is a program designed for juvenile offenders in the Netherlands who have committed cyber-dependent crimes. The program aims to provide education and support to help young offenders turn away from cybercrime and develop positive skills and behaviors. Dr Leukfeldt  emphasizes that the program is not about Russian hackers or fraudsters who make millions, but rather about those kids who are experimenting and need help. He also mentions that the program was evaluated through a research study conducted by the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR), which found that the program was effective in reducing recidivism among young offenders who participated in the program. - Regarding interdisciplinary research, Dr Leukfeldt explains that it can be difficult because different disciplines have different traditions and expectations when it comes to research. For example, one discipline may prioritize publishing in academic journals, while another may prioritize presenting at conferences. This can create practical issues for a team that is trying to work together, as different members may have different timelines and goals. Additionally, traditional reviewers may not be familiar with other fields, which can make it challenging to defend interdisciplinary research against criticism. Rutger notes that these challenges can be overcome through effective communication and collaboration, but they do require effort and a willingness to work across disciplines.- Rutger emphasizes the importance of being constructive and thoughtful in providing feedback. He suggests that reviewers should not only point out flaws in a paper but also offer suggestions for improvement. Additionally, he notes that good reviewers should try to approach a paper with an open mind and be willing to learn from it, even if they are not experts in the field. By doing so, reviewers can help to ensure that research is rigorous, relevant, and impactful. Rutger encourages everyone to strive to be that kind of reviewer who provides constructive feedback and helps to improve the quality of research.About our Guest:https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/staffmembers/rutger-leukfeldt#tab-1https://nscr.nl/en/medewerker/dr-rutger-leukfeldt/https://www.linkedin.com/in/rutgerleukfeldt Papers or resources mentioned in this episode:J.

Research and future challenges in the early 20th century shaped the engineering disciplines as we know them. Today, we are at the crossroads of changing the economy because of our future challenges and the emerging technologies developed or at the stage of conception. The revamped sciences and engineering fields are creating new research areas that unofficially merge to form synthesis research. This could lead to reshuffling the academic disciplines and professions, making them new, to create seemingly multidisciplinary fields but in truth produce synthesis research.

Recorded May 25, 2023. The French Department's in-person 'End-of-Year Lecture in French Studies' will be delivered by Prof Mary Orr (University of St. Andrews), and is organised by the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultural Studies. In this talk Professor Orr (Buchanan Chair of French at the University of Saint Andrews) will discuss some key learning points for interdisciplinary and intermedial research, using as an example her forthcoming book project, Sarah Bowdich Lee, 1791-1856: Pioneering Perspectives in Natural History. In tracing the light-bulb moments of its development, the many blocks that had to be overcome in its 12-year duration, and the challenges of its multi-disciplinary and intermedial range, she will return to the pivotal components of her title. To unpack key context(s), and to foster discipline in interdisciplinary working, opens new debates on language hegemony in ‘interdisciplinary' study, and on the futures of disciplinary distinctiveness for ‘French/francophone Studies'. This talk is designed to stimulate debate and to share the adventures of research in translingual fields.

We begin in an asylum for the criminally insane.  A man in a straitjacket is hauled into the facility and thrown into a padded cell.  Visited by a psychiatrist, the man begins telling his story, while acknowledging that something awful is happening in the outside world.  We flash back: renowned horror writer Sutter Cane has disappeared.  Seeking to locate Cane, and collect his new novel, In the Mouth of Madness, the head of Arcane publishing, Jackson Harglow, hires crack Insurance investigator John Trent – a man with a nose for frauds and whose skepticism seemingly knows no bounds.  Trent has already run into a spot of trouble – after reading a couple chapters of Cane's latest, Cane's agent becomes an axe-wielding maniac, crashing through the window of a local café where Trent is dining.  The why, for now, is left unexplained, but as we learn, Cane's novels have a strange, disorienting effect on its ‘less stable' readers.  Trent and Cane's editor, Linda Styles, head to Hobb's End, New Hampshire, where they believe Cane is living.  Trent and Styles discover a place that seems almost too quaint to be real, and almost immediately, a terrible secret that upends Trent's life as he knows it, and has major repercussions for Sutter Cane fans worldwide.

Today, we kick off Episode 1 of Season 5 with the fabulous Dr. A.J. Bauer, an assistant professor in the Department of Journalism & Creative Media in the College of Communication and Information Sciences. AJ comes to us with a really fascinating background as his degrees are in American Studies but he worked professionally in journalism. He tells us about his own journey shifting from the right to the left and how that inspired much of the current work he is doing, including his book in progress--Making the Liberal Media: Conservative Press Criticisms and the Rise of the New Right. We cover all kinds of territory as we discuss the criticism that is inherently embedded within media and how that takes root in identity. AJ also tells us more about the nature of the work that he does--mostly archival research--and how that type of research is a little like playing a detective game. This kick-off episode is so much fun, and you may learn a little (or a lot) about the intricacies woven into narratives about liberal media bias.

At least since Joseph Beuys' legendary “International College for Creativity and Interdisciplinary Research” artistic assemblies are also a playing field for the production and transfer of knowledge. The 17th edition of “The Art of Assembly investigates along concrete artistic practices how tools and experiences from performing arts offer settings and strategies for unexpected communication and transversal education: Choreographer and curator Satu Herrala in her works focusses on embodied knowledges in artistic and curatorial work, creating conditions for art to summon collective and transformative agencies. Artist Ahmet Öğüt – initiator of the Silent University, a solidarity-based knowledge exchange platform by displaced people and forced migrants- often seeks his collaborators outside the art field. Theatre maker Lotte van den Berg, one of the initiators of the ongoing project “Building Conversation”, centers her practice around collective experiences and the relation between performance and social as well as ecological challenges. How can art offer spaces for empowerment and self-development?

In the final episode of the Research Skills Season, Heather and Matt put together their favorite “tips and tricks” that guests shared over the season, ranging from recommended readings and practical tips to general perspectives and reflections on their graduate training experience.  This episode features nearly all of our previous guests, including Dr. Greg Wright (Episode 1 - What is Research?); Dr. Yasmine Dolreyes and Dr. Brad Johnson (Episode 4 - Mentoring); Dr. Eden Medina (Episode 5 - Interdisciplinary Research); Dr. Vincent Smith and Ms. Kalpana Jain (Episode 6A - Reaching a Broader Audience I: Community Relationships and Episode 6B - Reaching a Broader Audience II: Academics and Media); and Mr. Louis Rameriez and Dr. Renee Spencer (Episode 7 - Research Ethics).  We also highlight some recommended reading from our Graduate Student panelists Dana Ahern from University of California Santa Barbara and Kristin Tzok from Boston University.

Welcome to another episode of The Soft Matter Show. Our today's guest is Dr. Marleen Kamperman. Marleen is a professor of polymer science at the University of Groningen, Holland. She is an award-winning scientist in her outreach activities and we cover a wide spectrum of topics in this conversation. Marleen talked about her thoughts on the importance of outreach in elevating diversity in science. We discussed her passion for bioinspired materials and What Marleen looks for while hiring Ph.D. students and Postdoc trainees. She also shares her thoughts on the similarities and differences between the creative processes across arts and science!

In this episode we discuss how Kimberly Acquaviva, PhD, MSW, CWE, uses social media to bring together a large interdisciplinary research team to answer a compelling research question. 

The world needs help. David Hart and Linda Silka join host Ron Lisnet to talk about how interdisciplinary, results-driven researchers at the University of Maine work to address complex needs of society.

Guest: Karina Smigla Bobinski Today's episode was the last episode we recorded at the 2019 Tanween event that was organized by Ithra, and we had a wonderful artistic and scientific conversation with our guest Karina Smigla Bobinski who's an expert in visual communication, an intermedia artist with analogue and digital media, she lives and works as a freelance artist in Munich. She studied art and visual communication at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, Poland and Munich, Germany. She works as intermedia artist with analogue and digital media and move between science, intuition, expression and cognition. She produces and collaborates on projects ranging from kinetic sculptures, interactive installations, art interventions, featuring mixed reality objects, multimedia physical theatre performances and online projects. Karinas works bridge kinetic art, drawing, video, installation, painting, performance and sculpture, her works contain the method of their making, they are direct art, which foregrounds the material, movement through time and impact on results. At least she was a Visiting Research Fellow and Artist in Residence at ZiF Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Bielefeld University's Institute for Advanced Study.
