Title: How networks can change the way you see the world...and solve world peace

Description: In this first episode of our three-part series, we will talk about how our scientists came to be interested in networks, their motivations, and early life influences.

Networks are all around us - networks of neurons in your brain, social networks of the ways in which people are connected, networks of interactions through which diseases spread... which makes a lot of scientists very interested in studying the world from a network perspective. For a lot of female scientists, being a woman in science comes with its own set of opportunities and challenges. Join Sanjukta Krishnagopal in this 3-part podcast, as she interviews five women scientists at different stages of their career, from different countries, and with different life experiences, that are united by their common interest in the study of networks. Our speakers will tell you about all kinds of interesting research they have been doing - from mathematical analysis of such networks, to studying covid spread, to understanding social safety nets after retirement, and investigating how misinformation spreads through social media. If you are interested in learning more about what networks are and what the latest research in the field looks like, looking for resources to get involved, or simply curious to hear stories and anecdotes from our speakers, then this podcast is for you!

Thanks to our speakers (in alphabetical order): Ginestra Bianconi, Queen Mary University, UK. Maia Majumder, Harvard University, USA. Leonie Neuhauser, RWTH Aachen, Germany. Francisca Ortiz, Millenium Institute of Caregiving Research, Chile. Ana-Andreea Stoica, Columbia University, USA.
