In this episode we interviewed Sarah Stellnberger, a 2nd year PhD student, about her research project on the cellular effects of bioplastics and their implications for human health and environmental sustainability. We explore the challenges and breakthroughs in this research field, which is currently attracting significant interest, shedding light on the quest for safer, more sustainable materials. We also share how meditation played a pivotal role in helping Sarah maintain focus and balance throughout her PhD journey. Tune in to learn about the fascinating world of bioplastic research and discover practical tips for integrating meditation into your own academic and professional life.
