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.

Special Guest: The Wellcome Trust & Changing PhD Culture
Welcome to episode 7 of Postdocalypse 2019! This podcast is produced by health sciences postgraduate researchers at King's College London.
This month we have a special guest! We met Anne-Marie Coriat, Head of UK and EU Research Landscape at the Wellcome Trust, at VItae Conference and we are so excited to have picked her brains about the changing face of academia. Listen on to hear all about Anne-Marie's job, how she got there, her experiences and musings on the future of PhDs.
Here are some of the links that Anne-Marie and Julie referred to in this episode:
