Episode 10: Izzy Jayasighe & academia, don't go breakin' our heart!
Welcome to season two of What on Earth?!
In this episode, we are celebrating LGBTQ+ History month with Dr. Izzy Jayasinghe! We talk to Izzy about what happens during a heartbeat, the challenges of climbing the academic ladder, and the importance of visible LGBT+ and science role models in school.
Dr. Izzy Jayasinghe majored in Cardiovascular Sciences and pursued a Ph.D. in Physiology at the University of Auckland. Since then, she's worked on several projects related to cell signaling and super-resolution microscopy in New Zealand, Australia and the UK. Currently, she is a UKRI Future Leader Fellow and developing optical microscopes to "study the physics underpinning life" at Sheffield University.
