How collaboration between agricultural and human health scientists will bring about change

How collaboration between agricultural and human health scientists will bring about long-term change in a post-pandemic world.

Today we mark BBC Radio 4’s Day of the Scientist with an in-depth look at how collaboration between agricultural and human health scientists will bring about long-term change in a post-pandemic world. Anna Hill visits the The Research Park in Norwich, where scientific institutions have gathered so their work together becomes much more than their research in individual labs.  The science here goes from seed, to field, to food, to human, to health, and the scientists come from the John Innes Centre, The Sainsbury Lab, The Earlham Institute, The Quadram Centre, the University of East Anglia and Norfolk and Norwich Hospital Trust.

Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

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