“Let’s Talk About Women” is a podcast initiative of the International Research Training Group (IRTG) 2804 (Tübingen x Uppsala), which investigates women’s mental health across the reproductive lifespan.
Here we share insights from interdisciplinary research on women’s mental health by talking to experts in fields of neuroscience, psychology, biology, and medicine. Beyond that, we will shed light on ongoing doctoral projects among our PhD candidates to get a glimpse into state-of-the-art and hot-topic research.
This podcast is not only for fellow researchers inside and outside the area of women’s mental health, but also for people interested in science and curious about this topic!

Latest Episode: EP 1 – Pilot
Welcome to „Let’s Talk About Women“ – a science communication podcast of the International Research Training Group (IRTG) 2804 about „Women’s Mental Health Across the Reproductive Lifespan“.
In this pilot episode PhD Student Franziska Weinmar is talking to Prof. Inger Sundström Poromaa (Uppsala University) and Prof. Birgit Derntl (University of Tübingen) who collaborated and initiated the IRTG 2804, which is dedicated to research on women’s mental health across the reproductive years.
Listen to our kick-off, in which Inger and Birgit highlight the need for research on women’s hormonal transition phases and what can be gained from this in the future.
