Re-release: What's it like on COVID ICU, and chasing virus on the tube!

Postdocalypse: King's College London Health Sciences DTC Podcast

Welcome to Postdocalypse on Lockdown! This episode is a re-release of our "Cohabitants on COVID" episode. We have all been busy in the labs since we were allowed back in to work but we hope you'll forgive us... we will get back to filling your ears with sciencey sounds ASAP! In this re-release, we corner our flatmates to talk about working on COVID in this socially distant episode! We answer some of your burning COVID FAQs - and some Qs you didn't even know you had - when we talk to a doctor and a scientist who have both taken time out of their training to work on the front lines or redirect their work to the current pandemic. Madeleine asks Josh about about the challenges of being a doctor on the COVID Intensive Care Unit, the COVID science and the impact of COVID on science and the NHS. Julie grills Gabriella on how testing works and her research chasing microbes and now viruses around the UK on touched surfaces...look out for some weird happenings on the tube on the summer solstice! We also talk about how PhD students can work with their supervisors to manage any anxieties about going back to work through the pandemic.
