In this episode of Better Thinking, Nesh Nikolic speaks with Dr. Zhi Yi Ong about the neurobiology of food intake, exploring how gut-brain interactions shape eating behavior and its connection to addiction. Zhi Yi Ong is a Senior Lecturer and ARC Future Fellow at the UNSW School of Psychology. She completed her PhD in Biomedical Science at the University of South Australia and later undertook postdoctoral training in the Department of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. Zhi Yi's research focuses on the neurobiological mechanisms of feeding behaviors. Using multiple neuroscience approaches in animal models, she investigates how gut signals interact with brain circuits to regulate these behaviors. Additionally, she also examines how environmental factors and current treatments influence the neural systems that control appetite.

In this episode of Better Thinking, Nesh Nikolic speaks with Dr Philip Jean-Richard Dit Bressel about his research on neural circuitry using animal models to explore reward and punishment paradigms, their impact on decision-making processes, alongside a discussion on the gamification of research protocols in human studies. Dr Philip Jean-Richard Dit Bressel is a behavioural neuroscientist at UNSW School of Psychology. Currently investigating psychobiological mechanisms of motivated learning by combining precision neuroscience techniques (e.g fibre photometry, optogenetics) with behavioural paradigms and multi-pronged analysis approaches. His research endeavors to unveil the psychology and biology underlying the acquisition of associations between environmental cues, behavior, and outcomes, enabling adaptive behavioral modifications. His primary focus lies in unraveling the mechanisms of punishment learning, particularly how individuals discern actions leading to adverse outcomes. This investigation holds significance in comprehending and enhancing decision-making processes in daily life. Furthermore, it holds relevance in various conditions marked by deficiencies in punishment learning, including substance and behavioral addictions (such as drug addiction and gambling disorder), psychopathy (such as antisocial personality disorder), and depression.

"If we had a multitiered, multilayered approach to clinical leadership where we don't just provide about patient care, but we think about improving the processes and tools...and leave a legacy over time then I think we'd have greater success in driving digital change in health" — Dr Simon Kos, Healthcare Executive at Microsoft.In this episode, Dr Simon Kos explores his journey into digital health, his career reflections and the evolution in the thinking of digital healthcare. He reflects chance life events and educational experiences that allowed him to progress from the Emergency Room into a globally recognised digital health leader. Dr Kos highlights many of the challenges in digital health in terms of just digitizing processes versus transforming processes. He describes how with particular digital tools, benefits can accrue at different levels, and as such, it is vital that frontline staff are included in those benefits. Finally, he covers key questions that all earlier and mid-career professionals should be considering when looking to the future.Follow Dr Simon Kos: LinkedInAbout the guest: Dr Simon Kos is an internationally recognized leader in digital health, working in senior executive roles for over twenty years.

Welcome to Life 3.0, where science fiction becomes reality as humans co-exist with intelligent machines. The rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence will inject $16 trillion into global GDP by 2030, causing mass job disruption - and some job destruction - as computers and robots take over the Four D's: the dirty, the dull, the difficult, and the dangerous. AI is learning how to learn, but is it self-aware? What is the difference between mimicry and creativity? And while some jobs are under threat, which jobs are safe from the rise of AI? Brooke and Sam explore this frontier with one of the world's leading AI researchers, Scientia Professor Toby Walsh from the UNSW School of Computer Science and Engineering.

Going to see your doctor should never be a bad experience, but for many women the reality is that instead of getting the medical treatment they need, everything is blamed on their weight. Weight bias or weight stigma - aka fat shaming - should not be part of any medical professional's mindset, but hundreds of women got in touch to tell us their own scarring experience inside the examination room. The Quicky investigates why old stereotypes about weight still persist, how a doctor should talk to their patient if they are genuinely concerned, and what to do if you're not happy about how you've been treated.
