Biology careers are no longer linear.

In this episode of Biology Career Insights, we explore The New Biology Career Map (2026 Edition) — how biology has evolved from a single career path into a flexible skill stack powering roles across biotech, health tech, AI, policy, product, and beyond.

Drawing on conversations with founders, biotech leaders, investors, regulators, and career switchers, this episode breaks down:

• Why “academia vs industry” is an outdated debate

• The rise of the hybrid biologist

• How biology skills translate beyond the lab

• Why adaptability matters more than job titles

• How visibility and storytelling accelerate science careers

Whether you’re a student, PhD, postdoc, or industry professional, this episode will help you rethink what a modern biology career can look like in 2026 and beyond.

We are living longer than ever before — but longevity without quality of life is not the goal.In this episode, we explore the science of healthy aging and ask a critical question:How can we improve the final third of life using interventions that are effective, affordable, and accessible to everyone?Drawing from leading research published in journals such as The Lancet, Science, BMJ, and eBioMedicine, this episode distills the latest evidence into a practical blueprint for healthy aging.You’ll learn:Why moderate calorie reduction — not extreme dieting — can improve cardiometabolic health and slow biological agingHow hydration plays a surprisingly powerful role in reducing chronic disease riskThe impact of movement, social connection, and cognitive activity on memory and brain healthWhy lifestyle choices can mitigate genetic risk, even for conditions like dementiaHow small, consistent habits — not perfection — create long-term resilienceThis conversation shifts the focus away from expensive, cutting-edge treatments and toward everyday lifestyle choices that have the strongest scientific backing.Healthy aging isn’t about living forever.It’s about living better — physically, mentally, and socially — for as long as possible.🎙️ Listen to the full episode on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music.📚 Scientific ReferenceHealthy ageing begins with a healthy lifestyleeBioMedicine, Volume 89, 104528

Can you really drink your way to younger skin? 🥤✨ In our latest podcast episode, we dive deep into the multi-billion dollar anti-aging industry to separate marketing myths from medical science.Here is what we are uncovering:• The "Miracle" Cream Myth: While the cosmetics industry offers a huge range of active ingredients like Coenzyme Q10, Retinol, and various vitamins, the truth is that deep wrinkles cannot simply be "creamed away.", Most formulas remain closely guarded manufacturer secrets, and many advertising claims are based on meaningless metrics like "self-assessment" rather than actual medical examinations.,• The Truth About Beauty Drinks: Trending collagen drinks and hyaluronic capsules are often met with skepticism by scientists. Our bodies naturally produce about 3.6 kilograms of collagen, making the 2.5 grams found in a typical beauty drink a negligible amount that likely won't "plump" you up from within.• Prevention Over Products: Expensive serums are no guarantee of smooth skin. We discuss why regular sunscreen use is your best defense against UV radiation—the biggest risk factor for wrinkles—and how simple factors like sleep and hydration outshine pricey products.,• The Risks of the "Quick Fix": Hyaluronic acid injections are medical procedures, not simple beauty treatments. We explore the serious risks involved, including the fact that hyaluronic acid should never be used on forehead frown lines, as it can damage blood vessels and even lead to blindness.Stop spending a fortune on promises and start listening to the science. 🎧 Listen to our upcoming podcast on this soon!
