“Let’s Talk About Women” is a podcast initiative of the International Research Training Group (IRTG) 2804 (Tübingen x Uppsala), which investigates women's mental health across the reproductive lifespan.
Here we share insights from interdisciplinary research on women's mental health by talking to experts in fields of neuroscience, psychology, biology, and medicine. Beyond that, we will shed light on ongoing doctoral projects among our PhD candidates to get a glimpse into state-of-the-art and hot-topic research.
This podcast is not only for fellow researchers inside and outside the area of women's mental health, but also for people interested in science and curious about this topic!
