After our summer break, we're back - so: Let's Talk About Women!In this episode, we're hosting the one and only Dr. Liisa Galea (Center of Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, Canada). PhD candidate Franziska Weinmar asks Liisa all about translational research from animal models to human health: What we have learned and achieved so far, and what is yet to be uncovered - especially regarding female-specific mechanisms? With the aim to improve (mental) health for all, we ask: Who gets a disorder and when?Timestamps:01:41 - What can research in animal models reveal about humans?06.11 - What are current achievements for us humans today that would not have been possible without research in animal models?15.10 - What are achievements of research in animal models for *women*?24.10 - Research on female-specific mechanisms using animal models33.00 - Lack of research in female samples: reasons & consequences41.08 - What are current limits of research in animal models?46.00 - Summary48.08 - What is the next big step in research on women's mental health and how can research in animal models help us getting there?Thanks to Gloria Matte Bon & Anna Denninger for exchanging ideas in preparation of this episode!Sound recording & editing: Center for Media Competence, University of Tübingen. Do you have any feedback, suggestions, or questions?
