  • Genetic Testing in Epilepsy Isn’t Definitive - Here's Why - Dr. Christian Bosselmann
    Feb 19 2026

    Who should receive genetic testing in epilepsy, and how should results really be interpreted? Epileptologist and scientist Dr. Christian Bosselmann explores genome sequencing, diagnostic yield, variants of uncertain significance, and why results are rarely black and white. The discussion highlights how quickly things are changing in epilepsy genetics and how re-analysis and improved interpretation can meaningfully influence clinical decision-making.

  • AI in Health Care - What the Evidence Shows So Far - Charlotte Blease, PhD
    Feb 12 2026

    Who is already using generative AI in health care, and what does the evidence actually show? Researcher Charlotte Blease, PhD, examines the positives, patient and clinician uptake, emerging risks, and where major gaps in training, policy, and research remain. The discussion explores mental health use, long-term conditions, empathy, and why regulation is struggling to keep pace with real-world practice.

  • Accelerated Brain Ageing and Neurodegeneration in Epilepsy - Dr. Marian Galovic
    Feb 5 2026

    Accelerated brain ageing is a key feature of epilepsy that cannot be explained by seizures alone. Drawing on longitudinal imaging and biomarker research, Dr. Marian Galovic discusses neurodegeneration beyond seizure activity and the clinical importance of early intervention.

Each episode features great clinicians and researchers. You might think epilepsies are limited and the topics limited but you would be wrong. Worth a listen from various perspectives whether you are a patient, professional, or interested in science.
