We are all well-read, educated people, meaning we lead busy productive lives. It also means that even though we keep up with the news, we don't necessarily know everything we'd like to, to fully appreciate the headlines. So this podcast delves into the facts and stories behind the headlines, talking to experts and busting common myths so that we are positioned to appreciate the impact of today's events. Hosted by comedian Ria Lina, she asks the questions you always wanted and can liven up even the driest of guests for an entertaining and education look behind the news.

The Immunology Behind COVID Vaccines
Episode 10
Saturday, 19 September, 2020

Hi folks! Following a summer break I am back with Dr. Joe Grove, a viral immunologist and Sir Henry Dale Fellow, funded by the Wellcome Trust and Royal Society for his work in viral immune evasion, based at the Institute of Immunity and Transplantation at UCL (you can find him on twitter @grovelab). He joins me in this episode to discuss his area of expertise: our immune reactions to infection and what we particularly know so far about what happens when infected with SARS2. We then also talk about some of the vaccine trials that are currently ongoing, how vaccine trials work and how they differ from each other.
