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.

Cell tracking for cancer cell therapies, ethics and public engagement
Welcome to the fifth episode of Postdocalypse, produced by health sciences postgraduate researchers at King's College London.
This episode is hosted by Katie Begg interviewing Mads Iafrate about her research in cell tracking that aims to improve efficacy and safety of cell therapies for cancer patients.
Mads discusses how she uses molecular biology techniques and genetic engineering to modify proteins that could be used to monitor cells used as therapies. She discusses her experience as a chemist-turned-biologist, as well as the ethical considerations of her work and how to give back to the community through engagement activities. Panellists Peter Gawne and Ahsen Ustaoglu join in the discussion throughout the episode.
