The Big Fat Questions Podcast
Inspired by my time with young adults in science at the Oxford Learning Lab, I started the the Big Fat Questions Podcast to answer the big questions in science, nature and philosophy. Joined by an expert each episode, I present and produce the podcast to communicate science in the most accessible way possible. Guests have included well-known actors Will Poulter and Kimberly Nixon, NHS England's respiratory advisor and one of the first people to discover receptors.
Get 2 Know- A segment of the podcast where I learn from the stories of incredible underrepresented female scientists
Episode 3: How Much Do We Learn If We Don't Have To? with Will Poulter
Will Poulter, Hollywood actor and ambassador for the Black Curriculum and the Anti-Bullying Campaign, joins us for Black History Month to help answer today's Big Fat Question....how much do we learn if we don't have to? We talk Will's experience with acting on the big screen whilst still in school, why teaching black history in school is so important and advice for those who are experiencing bullying. Listen until the end to see the film that Will thinks everyone should watch once in their life!
Episode 4: What Does Having OCD Feel Like? with Kimberly Nixon
Today I was joined by the incredible actor Kimberley Nixon, to talk about her experience living with OCD and the OCD she suffered with after having her baby (post-natal OCD). With over 1 in 5 women developing mental health issues when they are pregnant or after the birth of their child, it was shocking to hear about how little OCD is understood, and how often it is roped in with other postnatal illnesses...even by medical professionals. We talk Kim's journey, important support systems and what needs to be done to improve the future of peri/post-natal mental healthcare.
