Miriam Tobjinski – Leben mit Krankheit & Kraft aus Trauma
In der aktuellen Folge meines Podcasts habe ich eine ganz besondere Frau zu Gast: Miriam Tobjinski, 47 Jahre jung, aus Ahrensburg bei Hamburg. Sie ist Coachin für Traumaarbeit, Körpertherapeutin – und vor allem eine beeindruckende, warmherzige Frau, die mit ihrer Stärke und Klarheit inspiriert. Doch Miriams Weg war alles andere als leicht. In unserem Gespräch erzählt sie offen von ihrem Leben mit mehreren chronischen Krankheiten, von tiefen Einschnitten, Verlusten und Momenten der Unsicherheit. Aber auch – und das ist mindestens genauso wichtig – von ihrer Entscheidung, nicht aufzugeben. Sondern ihre Erfahrungen in Kraft zu verwandeln. Was dich...

Ep 31. Jumping Asteroid Clouds: Supporting Vulnerable Learners in Educational Achievement
Last November, Dr. Cat Hicks wrote an essay on Medium called "Reading vulnerable learners' applications to grad school: we need to stop failing them." In this episode of the podcast, University of Minnesota graduate student Becky Rodriguez interviews Dr. Hicks about her essay, her educational and career path, and how our educational system can be stacked against vulnerable learners. She offers some advice for applicants, those who review applications, and others who may just want to help.

What could be cooler than a technology that uses nanomaterials? How about one that combines two nanomaterials! Nanocomposites bring together two or more nanoscale materials to take advantage of their combined features to get what Dr. Klaus Müllen calls "the best out of two worlds." Dr. Müllen is an emeritus director at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, where his work ranges from the chemistry and physics of small molecules to nanocomposites and biosynthetic hybrids. In this interview he talks about how a fascination with color got him into chemistry, some of the many technological applications fo...

You may have heard of "impostor syndrome" or "imposter phenomenon," when perfectly competent people have the feeling that they don't belong or are faking it in their professional lives. It can lead sufferers to hold back their ideas and self-reject from opportunities, and it is surprisingly common among high-achieving people. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Valerie Young, an expert on impostor syndrome with both research and personal experience. She discusses one common factor across all people who experience impostor syndrome, and three things you can do about it if you experience the phenomenon yourself.
