  • Let's Talk About the Fe/Male Brain - Part 3

    Welcome to this Let’s Talk About Women special!


    Over three parts, PhD Student Franziska Weinmar is taking you on site to the Fe/Male Brain Symposium held Tübingen, April 2023. In interviews, three speakers of the symposium, all of which are pioneers in the field of sex and gender research in neuroscience, share their insights on the most recent developments in this field as well as future implication of their research for women and men.


    In this episode Franziska is talking to Prof. Daphna Joel from the Tel Aviv University in Israel. Among others, she is known for her research on the theory of the mosaic brain about which she has also written a book (English: "Gender Mosaic - Beyond the Myth of the Male and Female Brain"; German: "Das Gehirn hat kein Geschlecht")


    A huge thanks goes to Prof Daphna Joel, Dr. Claudia Barth & Prof Markus Hausmann for taking their time for these interviews!

    Also, props to Gloria Matte Bon for being the doorkeeper, ensuring that the recordings on site at the symposium were not disturbed.

  • Let's Talk About Oral Contraceptives

    Welcome back to Let’s Talk About Women! 

    In this episode, PhD Student Franziska Weinmar is talking to Dr. Ann-Christin Kimmig about a hot topic: oral contraceptives. We cover the effects on hormone levels, the brain, mood, libido, and socio-emotional functions and what happens if you stop using the pill. Based on state-of-the-art research Ann-Christin and Franziska are trying to navigate and disentangle the importance of oral contraceptives, what has been disregarded in the past, what is known today – and what not. Also, we shed light on “the next big question” for research on oral contraceptives.
