  • Battling Burnout and Keeping Women Doctors in Medicine

    Battling Burnout and Keeping Women Doctors in Medicine
    Dec 17 2025
    On This Episode Although as many women as men enter medical school, six years after graduating from their residencies, 40 percent of women have either transitioned to part-time or left the profession altogether. Why? The answer is career and life demands that lead to higher burnout rates. In this episode, Ashwini Nadkarni, who coled a seminar on the topic, talks about the ramifications of this—for both doctors and patients—and some potential remedies. Released on December 17, 2025. Episode Transcript Guest Ashwini Nadkarni is a psychiatrist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital—where she is vice chair of faculty enrichment and associate medical director of Brigham Psychiatric Specialties—and a professor at Harvard Medical School. With her colleague John Fromson, Nadkarni led a Radcliffe Exploratory Seminar that addressed burnout among women physicians.

    Chimp Change—What Great Ape Adolescence Reveals About Us
    Nov 20 2025
    Rachna Reddy has spent more than a decade observing chimpanzees in the wild, tracking how they grow up, navigate friendship, rivalry, loss, and even the anxieties that come with adolescence—emotions that might feel surprisingly familiar to us. In this episode, she shares how her research sheds light on what it means to come of age—not just for chimps but for humans, too, revealing the roots of our own empathy, conflict, and connection. Released on November 20, 2025. Episode Transcript Guest Rachna Reddy teaches anthropology and environment, society, and sustainability at the University of Utah, and she also codirects the Ngogo Chimpanzee Project. Through her study of chimpanzees and bonobos, our closest living relatives, she is trying to understand the evolutionary foundations of human social relationships and development.

  • Substance Use Disorders Among Women: Reasons for Concern—and Hope

    Substance Use Disorders Among Women: Reasons for Concern—and Hope
    Oct 30 2025
    Rates of substance use disorder are rising among women and adolescent girls. In this episode, the psychiatrist Shelly F. Greenfield, whose research focuses on gender differences in addiction, explains the situation—and what can be done. Through her work, Greenfield helps us see addiction as what it truly is: a treatable health condition. Released on October 30, 2025. Part of this podcast was recorded in early 2025, before the current federal administration, and reflects the situation at that time. Since then, significant cuts to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration—the agency within the US Department of Health and Human Services that leads efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation—and the termination of grants have dramatically affected federal resources. The resources posted for this podcast, however, reflect the current moment and are accurate as of the date of its release (October 30, 2025). Episode Transcript Guest Shelly F. Greenfield is a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and the Kristine M. Trustey Endowed Chair in Psychiatry and chief of the Division of Women’s Mental Health at McLean Hospital. Her research investigates the rising rates of substance use, substance-related health and social consequences in women and girls in the United States, and treatment and health services delivery.
