Unfiltered Bloom

In this episode, I speak with Courtney Casale, a PhD candidate at ETH Zurich and EPFL, about how movement shapes the way we understand and connect with others. We explore the neuroscience behind body language and movement, how our own physical experiences influence the way we perceive others, and how moving together can strengthen social connection. Courtney also shares her research on dance, the brain, and how intergenerational dance may support cognitive, physical, and social well-being.

In this episode, I speak with Professor Camilla Nord from the University of Cambridge about how the brain and body shape our emotions, motivation, and mental health. We explore the science behind how these systems work together in everyday life.

In this episode, I speak with Ana Rodriguez Martinez, a PhD student at the University of Zurich, about why we can understand something while studying but still struggle to remember it later. We discuss what helps information stay in memory, why cramming often only works in the short term, and how students can build better study habits based on the science of learning.
