Hi, welcome to Science on Trial [and Error] - a podcast from a scientist to scientists. I’m Kasia Kuzmicz-Kowalska and I’m pursuing a PhD in Developmental Biology at IST Austria. The idea for this podcast was born out of my love for science and curiosity of people’s stories. Join me as I chat with researchers from different fields and at different levels of their careers. We will discuss their current work, but also their scientific path. Why have they started to love science? Where are they going next? I will look for some funny stories and for what is cool about science these days. And let’s be honest, it’s not all science and no play - outside-of-work activities and passions are definitely going to be covered. Allow yourself to be inspired and enjoy the company of my amazing guests. Music and sound: Lukasz Kowalski; Art: Laura Burnett

Episode 004: Laura Burnett is a PhD student in the group of Prof. Maximilian Joesch at IST Austria. She's investigating how visual information is processed in the brain to control instinctive behaviors. Laura is also an amazing artist and she contributes her creative skills to science communication projects. We chat about the 'slightly overlooked' superior colliculus, popular science books and the imposter syndrome. Laura reveals how she intended to become either a BBC Nature reporter or a Disney animator. We also discuss the ups and downs of changing your PhD project and we get idealistic about the alternative reality of scientific publishing. Enjoy!

Episode 003: Maciej Kerlin is a PhD student in the group of Prof. Antoine Coulon at the Institut Curie in France. His project is focused on enhancer-mediated gene co-regulation within the 3D genome. We talk about the mysterious TADs, conducting research in Europe and in the U.S. and navigating the academia to find your own niche. Maciek shares a story of how he would have become a geographer if it wasn’t for a plastic microscope and the astounding PCR technique. We also discuss the challenges of applying for funding in basic science and the importance of explaining our work to the public. Have fun listening!

Episode 002: Yosman BapatDhar is a neuroscientist and a PhD student in the group of Prof. Jozsef Csicsivari at IST Austria, where she's investigating the memory formation in the context of spatial navigation. We talk about her initial hate for biology, the perks of interdisciplinary education and scientific outreach. We get honest about feeling disillusioned with academia. We also discuss what keeps Yosman from going insane when PhD gets messy and what makes brain cool. Enjoy!

Episode 001: Elena Redchenko is a physicist and a PhD student in the group of Prof. Johannes Fink at IST Austria. Her project is focused on collective states of superconducting qubits. We discuss how seemingly random choices have gotten her to doing the most cool science, the ups and downs of switching from theory to experimental approach and the importance of diversity in academia. We also cover how five-member music bands fit into Lena's everyday work, the magic of spectroscopy and the beauty of pole dancing.
