Two Cultured is a science podcast created by graduate students from UNC Chapel Hill, with one mission: to make science more accessible and approachable. Each episode features conversations with scientists about their research—what they study, why it matters, and how it shapes the world around us—while also highlighting the human stories behind the science. With curiosity, warmth, and a sense of fun, our hosts Kavya and Akshi aim to break down barriers between the lab and the public, showing that science isn’t just for scientists—it’s for anyone who’s curious about how the world works.

The Heart of the Matter: Bridging Biology, Ethics, and Medicine

What happens when developmental biology, philosophy, and clinical medicine converge in one person’s journey? In this episode, we meet Lizzy Thomas, an MD-PhD student at UNC whose academic path has taken her from Harvard to Oxford and now into the heart of cardiovascular epidemiology. Lizzy shares how her background in applied ethics and embryology informs her research on heart disease and her clinical work in a heart failure clinic. It’s a conversation about science, compassion, and the power of interdisciplinary thinking.
