  • 6.4 Inside Muscle Recovery: The Science Behind Repair, Strength, and Ageing

    6.4 Inside Muscle Recovery: The Science Behind Repair, Strength, and Ageing
    2026/05/05
    Episode 6.4 of Science Basement: Inside Muscle Recovery: The Science Behind Repair, Strength, and Ageing Have you ever wondered what actually happens inside your muscles after a workout? Why does recovery feel different over time, and what changes as we age? In this episode of The Science Basement, we sit down with Swetha Gopalakrishnan to explore the biology of skeletal muscle and the stem cells that drive its repair and regeneration. From understanding different muscle types to uncovering how “dormant” stem cells activate and make decisions, we dive into the cellular mechanisms that shape muscle function. We also discuss how metabolism influences stem cell behaviour, what happens during muscle injury and recovery, and whether exercise can influence stem cell populations. Beyond the science, Swetha shares insights from her journey from academia into entrepreneurship, and how research can be translated into real-world impact. Swetha Gopalakrishnan is a senior scientist working with Prof. Pekka Katajisto at the Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences. Her research focuses on skeletal muscle stem cells, their regulation, and their role in tissue regeneration.

  • 6.3 The Science of Conversation

    6.3 The Science of Conversation
    2026/04/07
    Have you ever wondered what actually makes a conversation flow or fall apart? Why do some interactions feel effortless, while others feel awkward or draining? In Episode 6.3 of The Science Basement, we sit down with Ville Harjunen from the Interaction Analysis Lab to explore the hidden science of human conversations. From subtle cues like nodding and backchanneling to brain activity and attention, Ville’s research uncovers the moment-to-moment dynamics that shape how we connect with others. We also explore how factors like personality, culture, and even video calls influence the way we communicate, listen, and respond. Ville Harjunen is a researcher at the University of Helsinki whose work focuses on understanding social interaction through a combination of behavioral analysis, psychophysiology, and neuroscience.

    6.2 The ghost-like particle: What are neutrinos and why are the so elusive?
    2026/03/03
    Episode 6.2 of Science Basement: The ghost-like particle: What are neutrinos and why are the so elusive? Have you ever wondered what a neutrino really is? How does it fit in with protons, neutrons and electrons? And why is it so ghost-like? In episode 6.2 of The Science Basement podcast we sit down with Dr. Timo Kärkkäinen, a particle physicist currently based at the University of Helsinki, to talk about his favourite particle: the neutrino! Join us to learn all about Timo’s research into testing new theories of the standard model of physics and why the neutrino might hold the key to the Universe. Dr. Timo Kärkkäinen has held postdoctoral positions in Hungary and Estonia and is currently a visiting researcher at the University of Helsinki. He is also writing a popular science book on neutrinos in Finnish. Your hosts for this episode are Aarti Venkatesan and Rhiannon Newman. Editing by Ernesta Nesta. Episode cover by Aarti Venkatesan.
