EAT LIKE THE ANIMALS
A podcast about food, biology, and the surprising lessons animals have to teach us humans about what and how to eat. In this series, novelist Charlotte Wood talks with renowned University of Sydney biologists David Raubenheimer and Steve Simpson about their 35 years of work and friendship, and the resulting research findings that provocatively challenge long-held beliefs about nutrition and human health. In the process, we take a look at the serendipitous connections that often lie at the heart of good science, and the insights scientists share with artists.

Great podcast
Just finished the first episodes, after reading your book and many other of your scientific papers, I’m more interested in knowing about your fascinating work... Glad I found you here... as a medical doctor, nutrition started to make sense to me after adopting your theories and ideas

I recently read the book and thought it was great! It’s pretty awesome that you’re doing a podcast but I’m not sure what I think about it yet, I would definitely recommend it for people that haven’t already read the book.
