Listen now
Description
Dr Shane, Chris KP and Dr Suzi are joined by two distinguished guests, Dr. Laura Chapman and Dr. Sara Webb. Dr. Laura Chapman is a practising clinician focused on providing inclusive care for women, trans men, and non-binary individuals. Specialising in obstetrics, gynaecology, and mental health, Laura is committed to destigmatising overlooked symptoms and advocating for whole-person care. As a pioneer in GP-led management of pelvic pain, she integrates various health providers to address complex conditions. Her work emphasises prevention, autonomy, and trauma-informed care. Laura is also an international speaker and mentor, offering training for healthcare professionals in sustainable, compassionate care practices. Dr. Sara Webb, researcher at Swinburne University, leads the Swinburne Youth Space Innovation Challenge. Specialising in astronomy, she uses AI to study rapid, mysterious cosmic bursts and is building a research group to analyse real-time optical data from the Vera Rubin Observatory. Her work also extends to space debris detection. Beyond astronomy, Sara is involved in multidisciplinary projects, including AI applications in medical imaging. Passionate about the universe, her upcoming book offers a fun crash course on cosmic threats, exploring scenarios such as asteroid impacts, the Milky Way's collision with Andromeda, and even the possibility of the universe being a simulation.
