The question
What problem or discovery first drew someone into their work?
About MedCast
Health and research are human stories.
MedCast is being started by McMaster students who want to learn from the people behind research, health, and science - and make those journeys easier for other students to discover.
Why we’re starting
Make the work easier to see - and the paths easier to imagine.
We hope to interview researchers and others working in health and science about what they do, how they got started, and the experiences that shaped their careers or research journeys.
We also want to ask what they would recommend to students who are curious about these fields. Our hope is to help students learn through guests’ experiences and advice, and to see the many ways an interest can grow into meaningful work.
The conversations we hope to make
Beyond the paper. Into the person.
The journey
What choices, challenges, or surprises shaped the way forward?
The advice
What might help a student who is just beginning to explore?
Our approach
Stay curious. Keep it approachable. Respect the expertise in the room.
MedCast is student-led, with conversations shaped by genuine questions and grounded in each guest’s knowledge and experience.
