In this episode, we spotlight MedHack, an organization dedicated to bridging the gap between medicine and innovation. AUS student Jurie joins us to discuss a critical challenge within the vast field of healthcare: groundbreaking ideas often remain untapped due to the disconnect between medical insight and technological development. To address this, MedHack is bringing one of its largest initiatives yet to AUS on March 28, MedEngineers. This hackathon-style competition unites students from medicine and engineering to collaborate, design functional prototypes, and pitch their solutions to potential investors. By fostering interdisciplinary teamwork, MedEngineers aims to turn innovative ideas into impactful healthcare solutions.

When did we start getting older, and who decided there was a deadline for life milestones? In this episode, we reflect on age, mindset, and the pressure society places on young adults to have everything figured out in their twenties. From expectations around marriage and children to reflections on personal growth, the conversation explores how maturity and mindsets do not have strict timelines, but evolve differently for each person and across generations. A thoughtful discussion on what it really means to grow, discussing the factors that influence it, such as self-awareness, frontal lobe development, and generational differences.
