Big Questions About the Human Being: Bioscience and Islam in Dialogue Hosted by Dr. Aasim Padela  In this opening episode, Dr. Aasim Padela introduces the focus of our inaugural podcast series – an exploration of the deepest questions about human existence.

Drawing on his own professional and academic journey – from Islamic seminary to biomedical engineering studies and as a practicing emergency medicine doctor– Dr. Padela reflects on how religion and science need not be kept in separate boxes, and why the integration of knowledge and ideas matters for understanding ourselves,  our place in the universe and in shaping our future.
