Discovery · The Life Scientific: Jens Juul Holst · 4 May 2026 podcast

I still play, and I always have music in my ears when I can get away with it.

So, yes, music is a big part of my life.

My wife, fortunately, is also musically gifted and is playing the clarinet, so we can do duets together.

Oh, very nice.

So I qualified in medicine in 1970, which means that the last two years was 1968, 69, right?

Yeah.

Where we had all the revolutions and student revolutions in all over Europe and all over the world, really.

And, of course, I was part of that.

You know, I was a young, enthusiastic socialist, and I was taking very much part in the different student activities we had and even some of the more, you know, yeah, yeah, which we shouldn't talk too much about today.

Yeah.

But it was a great time.

And, you know, I think it cemented my attitude to health and society and things like that.

So I think it was very, very, very useful.

I think I was interested in research already, but the possibilities were improving as we were transcending to university status.

And so the boss, the head of the department, became professor.

And he was then entitled to have a scientific assistant.

And I became his assistant.

So that meant that I was even obliged to do research, I mean, apart from the surgery.

So that really facilitated things.

Yes, I was introduced to this very new field of the gut hormones because my real mentor, who's called Jens Rehfeld, he had been to the United States to work with the hormone gastrin in Florida and came home with some hints about technology and the field as such.
