  • Inside Doping Control: Science, Safeguards, and Hormones

    Inside Doping Control: Science, Safeguards, and Hormones
    2026/01/21
    After last month’s deep dive into hormones, Philine and Marit continued the conversation with Dr. Annekathrin Keiler and Prof. Oliver Zierau. We explored how doping-testing works andhow results are protected from manipulation. We also explore current hormone research, including menopause and hormonal cyclicity, and discuss why these topics matter far beyond elite sport. Together, we examine how scientific research informs anti-doping practices and shapes a broader understanding of health, fairness, and performance.

  • Hormones: Misunderstood, Misused, and Measured

    Hormones: Misunderstood, Misused, and Measured
    2025/12/04
    Feeling hormonal? But what does that even mean?!In this episode, we unpack the science of hormones with Dr. Annekathrin Keiler and Prof. Oliver Zierau. Together, we explore what hormones really are, how they work in the body, and why they play a key role in anti-doping research. You’ll learn how hormonal signals influence performance, what counts as “doping,” and where the science gets complicated. Tune in for an interesting discussion and maybe a good comeback for the next time someone calls you out for being "hormonal" !

  • Testosterone Testing in Female Athletes - Endocrine Evidence?

    Testosterone Testing in Female Athletes - Endocrine Evidence?
    2025/10/24
    Testosterone, the holy grail of manliness? Athletic organizations certainly seem to think so. Why should a high testosterone level disqualify elite female athletes from competing? In this episode, we will gather the evidence behind testosterone testing in international sports competitions. We will dive into the history, the science behind it and how it impacts human lives. Join us as we ask “What's the evidence?”.

  • Beyond the Lab: Career Paths, Burnout, and Communication in Biotech with Olya Vvedenskaya

    Beyond the Lab: Career Paths, Burnout, and Communication in Biotech with Olya Vvedenskaya
    2025/10/02
    In this episode Dr. Olya Vvedenskaya shares her unconventional path from medicine to lipidomics research and science communication at Lipotype. We talk about why career journeys don’t need to be linear, how to make complex science accessible, and why burnout is a systemic issue, not an individual failure. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about building a career in biotech and beyond.

  • Sexrobotics - The Future of Intimacy?

    Sexrobotics - The Future of Intimacy?
    2025/08/30
    In this episode, our master's students ask: “What's the evidence? Are sex robotics the future of intimacy?” Science has a duty to address the hidden sides of society. Could these robots actually replace humans, and what does current research say about where we are headed?
