Why do we know so little about women's bodies? Over half the world's population have had a period or could be having a period right now – so why do menstruation and menopause remain such medical mysteries? And why are doctors still scratching their collective heads when asked to explain how female anatomy works? Well, New York Times bestseller Jennifer Gunter is hoping to change that.   In conversation with Caroline Ford, Jennifer will unpack why she's sick of women being sidelined by the medical profession, and outline the steps we need to take to put women's bodies and healthcare in the spotlight.

Has climate chaos, the cost-of-living crisis and the threat of AI overlords got you feeling like the end is nigh? Don't stress. As psychologist and evolutionary biologist Athena Aktipis points out, humankind is hardwired to survive big existential crises.  In this engaging talk, Athena—armed with her trusty ukulele—and UNSW's Rob Brooks journey through history, psychology, and shared humanity to uncover the tools that will help us survive—and thrive—amidst the chaos. Tune in to the podcast and you can expect to learn about the psychology of stress, tips for prepping (hint: duct tape is essential!), and how embracing our communal nature can turn even the direst situations into opportunities for growth and connection.  Presented by the UNSW Centre for Ideas and UNSW Science as a part of National Science Week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's fast paced digital age where misinformation spreads like wildfire, the importance of science communication has never been more critical. From bogus health claims to pseudoscientific theories, the online landscape is rife with inaccuracies that undermine public trust in science. But New York Times bestseller Jennifer Gunter is trying to change this. Dubbed the internet's gynaecologist, Gunter became an overnight celebrity when she debunked Trump's medical examination letter and she continues to educate the masses each day.   In conversation with NSW Deputy Chief Scientist Darren Saunders, hear Jen shed light on the challenges facing modern science communicators and offer invaluable insights on how to navigate this uncharted terrain.

In August 2023, Michael Mills travelled to various communities in Australia, to record multiple episodes of the Palaeo Jam podcast for National Science Week. One of the enduring conversations born of the tour was how a community might engage with its local fossil heritage, and    In this episode, recorded in Naracoorte, South Australia, in front of a live audience, we discuss a range of ideas of what local communities might do to better engage, and what the challenges and opportunities might be.   Do you know the fossil heritage of where you live? Do you have any ideas for better engaging your local community with that heritage? And even if you do, do you know how to go about doing something about it?   In the 15th episode of this season recorded for National Science week, host Michael Mills explores the possibilities with Site Manager, Naracoorte & Tantanoola Caves, Tom Short; University of Adelaide PhD candidate Nerita Turner; Site Interpreter at Naracoorte Caves National Park, Georgia Blows, and with an awesome appearance towards the end from Isla aged 9 and Quinny, aged 7.    Thanks to the Naracoorte Lucindale Council whose commitment to engaging with their community has helped make this project possible. You can find them on Facebook at… https://www.facebook.com/naracoortelucindalecouncil   And their website at https://www.naracoortelucindale.sa.gov.au/   You can find Palaeo Jam host Michael Mills on Twitter at @heapsgood https://twitter.com/Heapsgood   To connect with Dinosaur University on Facebook, follow us at https://www.facebook.com/DinosaurUniversity   We've recorded several episodes in Naracoorte across both seasons of Palaeo Jam.

Australians love cuddling up to a koala, and spotting a bilby or platypus in the wild. But our sunburnt country has borne witness to the disappearance of scores of native species over the past hundred years – earning us the nickname ‘extinction central'. From the golden bandicoots in the Strzelecki Desert to the platypuses in the Royal National Park, can we save our endangered species through rewilding?  Hear from UNSW Sydney's Director of the Centre for Ecosystem Science, Professor Richard Kingsford, Principal Ecologist for the Wild Deserts project Dr Rebecca West, Scientia Fellow and Associate Professor Katherine Moseby and Lead Researcher for the Platypus Conservation Initiative Dr Gilad Bino, for a lively panel discussion chaired by ABC journalist Ann Jones as they emphasise the urgency to break free from the confines of traditional conservation approaches to landcare, and highlight the power of rewilding our fragile ecosystems – all before it's too late. Presented by the UNSW Centre for Ideas and UNSW Science as a part of National Science Week. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Being able to access field trips to dig up fossils has long been a central feature of studying palaeontology, and being a palaeontologist. But what if you have been born with a rare and severe genetic condition, such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 1 like Eleanor Beidatsch? As a nine year old, Eleanor dreamed of being a palaeontologist, but always presumed her advanced physical disability, and use of a wheelchair would make “digging about in the dirt for fossils” impossible.   But Eleanor Beidatsch is many things, and being passionate and determined, is just a part of of it. In this episode of Palaeo Jam, recorded as part of our National Science Week tour, host Michael Mills chats with Eleanor about the challenges faced by students with disabilities in accessing opportunities to study, her own amazing journey to studying palaeontology at the University of New England, about her fascinating research into velvet worms, and about what comes next.   Check out this video from Eleanor's YouTube channel of her remarkable adventure in 2016, to a paleontological dig in the opal rich desert town of Lightning Ridge, New South Wales… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTGxIR_yaNo   Stay up top date with a documentary project involving Eleanor, her family, and colleagues during their time at the 2023 Palaeo Down Under conference and the Kalbarri field-trip… https://www.australasianpalaeontologists.org/documentary   Here's a story about Eleanor's journey on the University of New England's website… https://www.une.edu.au/connect/news/2022/09/unearthing-discrimination-in-science   Along with studying palaeontology, Eleanor is a disability rights journalist, and writes for the ABC… https://www.abc.net.au/news/eleanor-beidatsch/101651018   You can find Eleanor on Instagram at… https://www.instagram.com/eleanor.beidatsch/   And on Twitter at… https://twitter.com/EBeidatsch   Here's a link to Eleanor's blog Accessible 4 Me… https://accessible4me.wordpress.com/   For more information on the research being undertaken by the team at University of New England's Palaeoscience Research Centre, head to  https://www.une.edu.au/research/research-centres-institutes/palaeoscience-research-centre   Palaeo Jam host Michael Mills is on Twitter at https://twitter.com/Heapsgood   For more info on his work as Creative Director, HeapsGood Productions, head to… https://linktr.ee/HeapsGoodProductions

What do we know about the boundary between the Ediacarans and the Cambrians, an astonishing predator from the early Cambrian, and one of the things palaeontologists get asked about more than just about anything… How did some dinosaurs get so big?   We're LIVE for a second time in Armidale for National Science Week at The Welder's Dog Brewery, on Anaiwan country, also known as high country, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.   In this episode, we discuss some of the fascinating paleontological research going on at the University of New England through the Palaeoscience Research Centre. To do this, Palaeo Jam host Michael Mills is joined by Professor John Paterson, Dr Marissa Betts, and Dr Nic Campione.   You can find our more about John's research from his University of New England profile at https://www.une.edu.au/staff-profiles/ers/jpater20   Marissa's UNE profile at https://www.une.edu.au/staff-profiles/ers/marissa-betts   And Nic's UNE profile at https://www.une.edu.au/staff-profiles/ers/dr-nicolas-campione   For more information on the research being undertaken by the team at University of New England's Palaeoscience Research Centre, head to  https://www.une.edu.au/research/research-centres-institutes/palaeoscience-research-centre   Palaeo Jam host Michael Mills is on Twitter at https://twitter.com/Heapsgood   For more info on his work as Creative Director, HeapsGood Productions, head to… https://linktr.ee/HeapsGoodProductions

We're LIVE in Armidale for National Science Week at The Welder's Dog Brewery, and in this episode, recorded on Anaiwan country, we're talking about the creatures that once dwelt in this place, and nearby. Of dinosaurs such as “Lightning Claw”, giant marsupials that left teeth marks on the bones of other giant marsupials, and tiny fossils too small for the naked eye to see. Along the way, we talk about the extraordinary changes that have taken place in the geology of the region that at one time during the Permian, was a volcanic wasteland, at an earlier time, was under the sea, and that is now, the highest city in Australia. In this episode we are reminded that wherever you are, there are fascinating prehistoric stories just waiting to be discovered!   To discuss all this and more, host Michael Mills is joined by Professor John Paterson, Dr Marissa Betts, and Dr Nic Campione, all from the University of New England, right here in Armidale.   You can find our more about John's research from his University of New England profile at https://www.une.edu.au/staff-profiles/ers/jpater20   Marissa's UNE profile at https://www.une.edu.au/staff-profiles/ers/marissa-betts   And Nic's UNE profile at https://www.une.edu.au/staff-profiles/ers/dr-nicolas-campione   For more information on the research being undertaken by the team at University of New England's Palaeoscience Research Centre, head to  https://www.une.edu.au/research/research-centres-institutes/palaeoscience-research-centre   Palaeo Jam host Michael Mills is on Twitter at https://twitter.com/Heapsgood   For more info on his work as Creative Director, HeapsGood Productions, head to… https://linktr.ee/HeapsGoodProductions

In a special edition of Palaeo Jam, recorded LIVE at the Western Australian Museum Boola Bardip, guest host Professor Flint chats with some of his Western Australian palaeo pals, about their favourite fossils, their best moments in the field, and a broad range of other palaeo-themed topics.   In a chat amongst friends, we hear about the group's favourite fossils that include a giant skink, a tree kangaroo on the Nullarbor Plain, an Aussie sauropod, and a kangaroo with fangs! Favourite moments of discovery include finding an ancient Bilby, the skull and brain case of a sauropod, and a Western Australian plesiosaur. We also learn about stinky days in the lab, and what brought each of the panel to be involved with palaeontology.   This episode was recorded during the Museum's “Biggest Science Lab Ever” event during National Science Week.   The panelists for this episode are Dr Kenny Travouillon, Mammalogy Curator at the Western Australian Museum Boola Bardip; Dr Kailah Thorn, Technical Officer for Terrestrial Vertebrates at the Western Australian Museum Boola Bardip; Associate Professor Natalie Warburton, of Murdoch University; and Dr Stephen F.

World renowned geologist, Professor Walter Alvarez once noted that… “Rocks are the key to Earth history, because solids remember but liquids and gases forget.”   In this episode of Palaeo Jam, host Michael Mills chats with Professor Tom Raimondo about how learning about our local geology can help us better connect to where we live. Of how rocks are places where stories from the past are etched, and that by learning to read the rocks around us, we open ourselves to a whole new world of connection to the past, and understanding.   Tom Raimondo is Professor of Geology and Geochemistry and Professorial Lead for STEM at the University of South Australia. He is a passionate science communicator who has been recognised as the 2019 SA Science Excellence Awards STEM Educator of the Year, and in 2017 was named in the ABC Top 5 Under 40.    For more info on Tom and his work, head to… https://people.unisa.edu.au/tom.raimondo https://twitter.com/ROKmondo https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8nlPNwP0bcho0tTVomlwyg   The iconic landscape of the Flinders Ranges in South Australia holds a remarkable history, cultural heritage and scientific value that has been unlocked through the power of the ground breaking 360VR Flinders Ranges experience mentioned in this episode.

Naracoorte Caves in South Australia are home to a remarkable fossil heritage of Pleistocene life. The story of Naracoorte, though, is not just the story of it's fossil heritage. It's the stories of the community and the connection of lots people to the caves and that heritage. In this first episode for Season 2 of Palaeo Jam, we speak to several community members to hear their stories of the Naracoorte Caves. In so doing, we seek to explore what a site such a site with such a close proximity to a town, might mean to the local community.   Note: Our first attempt at uploading this episode saw only part of it uploaded! This is the full episode.   In this episode, host Michael Mills chats with former Mayor , Erika Vickory, former Caves Manager Steve Bourne, long time Caves site interpreter Barb Lobban, and a member of the audience, Pat Gericke, who was able to bring to our attention an amazing story about one of her ancestors, who was a key staff member of the Naracoorte Caves in its earliest days.   Thanks to National Science Week, Heaps Good Productions, the Naracoorte Caves, the Naracoorte Lucindale Council, and most importantly, the people of Naracoorte, for making this episode possible.   And in case you missed it, during Season 1 of Palaeo Jam, we recorded an episode with Prof Rod Wells while sitting in the very spot in Victoria Cave where he'd sat more than 50 years beforehand in discovering the fossil bed. We also chatted with Dr Liz Reed about her research in the Caves as a local, and in so doing, were reminded that while caves can be wonderful places for discovering fossils, they continue to be living ecosystems.   Check out this and the rest of of the Palaeo Jam episodes through your preferred platform, and subscribe.

National Science Week ((13- 21 August)) is one of Australia's largest festivals featuring more than 1000 talks and activities by universities, schools, research institutions, libraries, museums and science centres. But bubbling underneath the surface are long-existing challenges - a gender gap and a lack of diversity. There's a new push to discover the next generation of talent in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics - also known as STEM.

Professor Brett Sutton, Victorian Chief Health Officer, talks about his role, why and how he became involved in public health, and the best preventions against COVID; Artists Emme Orbach and Noah Spivak discuss their exhibition at the Counihan Gallery for National Science Week; and in weekly science news, the team discuss ideas assisting endangered species from extinction.
