BBC Radio 4 - The Life Scientific, Janet Hemingway

Janet Hemingway on malaria and the coming of insecticide resistance, with Jim Al-Khalili.

Janet Hemingway tells Jim Al-Khalili about forthcoming insecticide resistance developing in the mosquitoes that transmit malaria, and how it could cost many lives.

Janet Hemingway, the youngest woman to ever to become a full professor in the UK, talks about her career at the frontline of the war on malaria. Whilst many researchers look for vaccines and treatments to this global killer, Janet's approach, as a trained entomologist, has been to fight the mosquitoes - the vector - which transmits the malaria parasite.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
