Think: Health

CLEAN VERSION: This version of the podcast does not contain any trigger sounds. From when I was about 5 or 6, my dad, sister and I would sit at the dining table during dinner and practice our multiplication tables. We did this for a number of years until one day I remember I couldn’t do it anymore, and that was because I started to notice the sounds my dad would make with his mouth during dinner. These noises didn't just annoy me, they enraged me and it only became worse as time went on. Speakers: Lesley and Stephen. Ian Ellis. Josephine Paparo - Clinical Pyschologist at the University of Technology Sydney. Phillip Gander - Assistant Research Scientist in the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Iowa. Producer/Presenter: Jake Morcom.

Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the country with more than 70,000 notifications of the infection in 2016 alone. These statistics come from the Kirby Institute’s latest paper looking at the state of Australia’s sexual health. But unlike other sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhoea and hepatitis, the symptoms of chlamydia aren’t always recognisable and when it comes to treating the long term effects of the infection, our current treatments are falling short. Speakers: Willa Huston - Senior Lecturer in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Technology Sydney. Garry Myers - Associate Professor in the iThree Institute at the University of Technology Sydney. Presenter/Producer: Jake Morcom.
