The epidemiology of space
22 Apr 2025

The epidemiology of space with Sabine Bellstedt

A lot about what it is to be human is understanding who we are and where we came from, whether that's genetically, geographically, or otherwise. But what if we zoomed out and approached it at a galaxy level? What _could_ we learn about who we are, what we understand about the universe, and what humans are capable of achieving? Sabine Bellstedt is an astronomer working on the epidemiology of space and on large scale projects with international teams not only to understand the universe, but _how_ we understand the universe. Join us as we speak with Sabine about her journey to astrophysics, space epidemiology, and the impact of astronomical innovation.

Specifically, a continence and urogynaecology clinical nurse consultant. Join us as we speak about Sheena's journey to urology and continence nursing, why we should care more about our plumbing, and the personal, economic, and environmental impact of incontinence..
