Research psychiatrist and medical ethicist Dr Jacinta Tan is deeply curious about the mind, and has spent hundreds of hours sitting with people with anorexia nervosa, not persuading them to eat, rather listening to them talk about what's going on in their minds and how the illness influences their decisions.

She discusses her work with talks to Jim Al-Khalili
