On this edition, Dr Kerri Gillespie from Queensland University of Technology’s School of Clinical Sciences discusses how your dinner might shape your mood. She breaks down new research from the Translational Research Institute in Brisbane showing the links between veggies, sugar, and fibre—and your mental health—and identifies some changes worth trying in what you eat.

Dr Kerri Gillespie - Diet and Psychological Distress

Dr. John Elfers, a core faculty member in the Transpersonal Studies program at Sofia University (formerly the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology) — has been a key researcher in exploring how grief and gratitude intersect, especially within a transpersonal (beyond the ordinary self) psychological framework. His work, often in collaboration with Dr. Patty Hlava and others, suggests that gratitude isn’t just a pleasant feel-good emotion — it can actively shape how people cope with loss.

On this edition, we'll hear how bacteria work and move substances in and out of their cells, and how scientists understand how microbes behave together in the microbiome and affect human health.

Ben Hipwell is a researcher (PhD candidate) in the bacterial regulation and transport lab at the University of Newcastle, working under Dr Karl Hassan. His research investigates mechanisms of action in bacteria, including how compounds affect bacterial physiology and transport systems in organisms like Escherichia coli — knowledge that connects to microbial regulation and transport processes. Understanding these mechanisms helps illuminate how bacterial cells control their internal environment and interact with their surroundings, which are key aspects of microbial community behaviour and important for understanding the microbiome’s dynamics and impact on health and disease.

Remote mental health focuses on how people living outside major cities can access timely, effective and culturally appropriate care. In this episode, we’re joined by Dr Hazel Dalton, whose research explores mental health promotion, suicide prevention and innovative service models in rural and remote communities. Hazel’s work bridges research and practice, highlighting how community-led approaches, workforce support and place-based solutions can strengthen mental health outcomes where services are limited and distances are vast.
