EAT LIKE THE ANIMALS
In 2016 Charlotte was named the first writer in residence at the Charles Perkins Centre, the world-renowned science & health research facility at the University of Sydney, where she wrote her novel The Weekend. Now, the friendships and professional collaborations she made there have resulted in Eat Like the Animals, a podcast about food, biology, and the surprising lessons animals have to teach us humans about what and how to eat. In this series Charlotte talks with renowned University of Sydney biologists David Raubenheimer and Steve Simpson about their 35 years of work and friendship, and the resulting research findings that provocatively challenge long-held beliefs about nutrition and human health. In the process, we take a look at the serendipitous connections that often lie at the heart of good science, and the insights scientists share with artists.
