BBC Radio 4 - The Infinite Monkey Cage, Series 25, What have we learnt from Covid?

Brian Cox and Robin Ince wonder what we have learnt from Covid?

Brian Cox, Robin Ince and guests discuss what science has learnt from Covid, and what Covid has taught us about science.

Brian Cox and Robin Ince return for a new series with an illustrious panel of experts to discuss what scientists have learnt from Covid and what we have all learnt about the nature of science by watching it happen so spectacularly over the course of the pandemic.  They are joined by Dame Sarah Gilbert,  creator of one of the very first Covid vaccines,  Immunologist Prof Dan Davis and Dr Chris Van Tulleken, infectious disease clinician and broadcaster.   They discuss the incredible speed of vaccine delivery and whether we have learnt lessons for future pandemics, the gaps that Covid has revealed in our knowledge of our immune system, and what the public have witnessed in terms of science happening in real time as we all lived through the pandemic.
