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.

Cancer biology and working during your PhD
Welcome to the first Postdocalypse episode of 2019! This podcast is produced by health sciences postgraduate researchers at King's College London.
In this episode, Haris Shuaib interviews Katie Begg about her PhD research investigating the cellular mechanisms behind radiotherapy response in head and neck cancer. Later in the episode they are joined by Julie and Olatz to talk about the hot-button topic of working during your PhD. In addition to nostalgic references to beanie babies, the panel give some useful pointers about how to make a little extra cash!
As mentioned in the podcast, Kings Talent Bank is a single portal to access all temporary employment opportunities at Kings College London (open to all King's student workers, temporary staff, alumni, visiting lecturers and contractors)
https://www.kingstalentbank.com/
Make sure to check out the exciting exhibition we mentioned - SPARE PARTS @ the Science Gallery is open till May 28th 2019. https://london.sciencegallery.com/seasons/spare-parts
Lastly, if you enjoy Postdocalypse then you'll probably love Frankenwine, a show that tells you all the things you didn't know you wanted to know about science... and wine! It's also hosted by our very own Katie Begg!
