S2|E1 Edinburgh Napier Talks... Coronavirus

02/27/20 • 31 min

The second series of Edinburgh Napier Talks... is back with an infectious new topic – viruses. Host, Ross Burns, takes his usual position in front of the mic alongside our guest School of Applied Sciences’ Professor of Immunology & Infection AND Head of Research, Peter Barlow.

The two sit down and discuss the headline-grabbing Coronavirus, how the world is reacting to it and do the facemasks really work – and more importantly, do they work on our pets? During the episode, we also got Peter’s personal opinion on the “worrying” misinformation surrounding the anti-vaccination movement.

The first series of Edinburgh Napier Talks... concludes with a very special episode with our host, Ross Burns, in the studio with Edinburgh Napier technician and I’m A Scientist, Get Me Out of Here winner, Dr James Munro. In the studio together, James fields questions from several pupils from Edinburgh’s Castlebrae High School.

Listen on to find out what the most unique phobia James knows of, whether studying Psychology has changed his life in a positive way and if school really is that different to university.

This concludes Season 1, thank you to everyone who’s listened and shared it already.
