The University of Queensland has launched Doomscroll Remedy , a new podcast featuring renowned researchers tackling some of the world's biggest issues. When your social media feeds are filled with crushing news and existential threats, it can all seem overwhelming, but this new four-part podcast series helps to ease the pressure. Doomscroll Remedy host and UQ alumnus Stephen Stockwell (Bachelor of Journalism, '08) helps UQ experts share their insights on conducting research and developing solutions to problems like anxiety, plastic waste, natural disasters, and the prevalence of conspiracy theories. In episode one, hear how UQ and the Minderoo Foundation have joined forces in the Minderoo Centre - Plastics and Human Health to uncover how plastics are making their way into our bodies. Professor Kevin Thomas, Director of UQ's Queensland Alliance for Environmental Health Sciences is leading the team to discover what impact the plastics are having on our health. "I think society has been quite naive in terms of how we've dealt with plastic and how we've let it contaminate every sphere of the environment - from the highest points of the Himalayas to the deep ocean trenches, we find plastic now," Professor Thomas said.
