About This Podcast

Hello, listeners! In 2024, a professor and a group of PhD students decided it was time to give research in health economics a voice (or set of voices!). Through this podcast, we aim to reveal the stories behind health economics research, create a resource for PhD students, academics, and anyone with an interest in this field, review key conferences and share tips that help us make our way in academia.
