Philosophy was always shared a very mystical bond with the

world of science. We have all heard Descartes famous

maximum, but what did José Ortega y Gasset mean when he

said ''I am therefore I think.'' And what are some modern day

implications of the Hume's master-slave dialectics?

Put on your thinking caps and join in our philosophical

conversation with Dr. Luis Garcia where we touch upon these

questions and more!

Interview is given by Nina and Santiago.

Life is all around us, and intuitively it is quite easy to say what is alive and what is just an object. But why are scientists still debating about what this term means?

In this episode we talk with Prof. Otto Sijbren about the synthesis of life itself. He describes how he discovered self-replicating molecules and any future prospects that his research might bring (a way to clean up radioactive waste or a new Frankenstein?).

Saving the world, one selfie at a time...

This episode's guest is Dr. Caitlin Ryan who recently gave a lecture on Celebrity NGO's and Voluntourism and their effect on development. 

 We unpack the power dynamics, the marketing strategies, the genuine impact of such charities, plus why volunteer tourism remains both a profitable industry and a source of controversy. 

So let's take a step back, slow down and pause to question the narrative.

The interview was given by Nina, Aedan and Thimo.

After a little summer vacation, we are back with a new team!

In this episode our oldest member Nina introduces the new members: Aedan, Patryk, Thimo, Santiago and Sandija. We will chat about our attempts to stick to a specific sport, our love (or occasional disdain) for watching movies and surprisingly shared passion for video games that involve fishing. This one’s a little different , instead of our usual deep dives into academic topics, we’re taking a breather. So if you’re feeling the exam-season stress, kick back and get to know the people behind the mic!

There’s something that they don’t want you to know… Pigeons might not be real, but our talk certainly is!

In this episode Nina and Heidi talk to Hanne Nijtmans, PhD student at the Faculty of Arts about conspiracy theories, and how there’s more to them than meets the eye.
