Since the COVID-19 pandemic first impacted our lives – making sense of the science has become a daily challenge for us all.
The world is still not COVID-free. But there is hope – science.
Why is it so hard to crush this global pandemic? Digging through the science of the coronavirus, we look at how we got here, and what comes next.
In these uncertain times, this special 8-part series shares engaging stories from some of Australia's visionary scientific thinkers to help make sense of a mutating virus and to give us hope. You’ll also find out what keeps them awake at night as they grapple with a pandemic – and how science is playing a leading role in shaping our response.
Co-hosted by former ABC Radio journalist Tracy Parish and Burnet Institute Director and CEO Professor Brendan Crabb AC, a microbiologist, malaria researcher and one of the best minds in infectious diseases and global health today.
We hope you enjoy it!
