Stay tuned for the release of the first season on 29 April!

Called to Science uncovers the untold stories of the people pushing the boundaries of life sciences. Hosted by science journalist Brad van Paridon, the podcast goes beyond the research to explore the passion, setbacks, and big questions that drive scientists forward. 

The first season features in-depth conversations with researchers at VIB, covering topics from computational biology and microbiology to cancer research and imaging technologies. Each episode brings out the human side of how the scientific life can take unexpected turns, like moving from a cattle ranch to NASA or stumbling upon a new antibiotic in a student restaurant. Other guests open up about imposter syndrome, high-risk research, and learning to navigate failure as part of the process. 

For those who are Called to Science, this podcast is for you!
