Re. punk

Re. punk is dedicated to advancing knowledge in women’s health with a distinctly punk and irreverent voice. Rooted in science. Inspired by art.Re. punk is a fireside-style podcast hosted by Dina Zielinski, PhD Computational Biologist (the nerd) and Sabine Seymour, PhD, Creative Scientist (the punk) who are expert patients reclaiming biology, health, and women's rightful place in a a system that wasn't built for us.Each episode is an honest, unscripted dialogue.We're not just translating science—we're reimagining how health & wellness knowledge can be both rigorous and radically accessible by democratizing healthcare. Re. punk revives the rebellious spirit of 1980s zines for the digital age. We employ experimental design, artificial intelligence, and data science to demystify the intricate science behind chronic diseases with a focus on autoimmune.Each episode brings a third voice to the fire: a researcher, clinician, technologist, artist, economist, or fellow patient—someone willing to think out loud, question assumptions, and sit with complexity.Together, Dina, Sabine, and their guest unpack science and emerging research through a systems-aware lens. The goal isn’t answers—it’s sense-making. Ideas are pulled apart, power dynamics are questioned, and lived experience is treated as data.Guided by the philosophy of Regenerative Punk, Re. punk treats regeneration as rebellion:Dina and Sabine don’t host experts from a place of deference. They meet them as equals—expert patients in dialogue with expert practitioners—asking the questions that rarely make it into the public discourse.Why is women’s health still under-researched? What happens when patients become co-investigators? How do we rebuild trust in science without giving up autonomy?Re. punk is for people who feel failed by the system but refuse pseudoscience. For those who believe rigor, curiosity, and resistance belong together. For anyone ready to imagine health as something we regenerate, not optimize.Your body
