Bringing science closer to the public is essential, helping people understand and appreciate discoveries that impact their lives. In a recent episode of the “U labu” science podcast, listeners had the chance to hear about the activities and successes of the DAADRAC project. DAADRAC, funded through the Interreg IPA CBC Croatia–Serbia programme, aims to tackle the significant global challenge of drug-resistant cancers through innovative cross-border collaboration.
Featured prominently in this episode was Srđan Bjedov, Principal Investigator of DAADRAC and also co-host of the podcast, who shared fascinating insights about the project’s goals, progress, and vision. Another exciting moment came from team member Dr. Sanja Đokić, who recently successfully defended her PhD thesis. Sanja openly discussed the scientific challenges she faced during the development of novel anticancer agents, emphasizing how vital collaboration is in overcoming obstacles in modern research.
Both speakers highlighted the unique opportunity DAADRAC provides for young students and researchers to get actively involved, offering hands-on experience and fostering their development into skilled, independent scientists. Podcasts like “U labu” have become a highly effective and popular way to communicate complex scientific topics, engaging broader audiences through relaxed and informal discussions.
DAADRAC has not only driven impactful research but has also laid the groundwork for lasting cooperation between researchers from Serbia and Croatia, ensuring fruitful scientific collaborations for years to come.
