In this episode, we talk the firing of professor Susanne Täuber because of her work on struggling against sexism at the university.

In the Open Update, we have conversations to continuously update what it means to be open. In season 3, co-hosts Sarahanne Field and Chris Hartgerink, discuss how power imbalances affect efforts to improve research, and the world beyond.
