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.

Touch DNA and Post-PhD Careers Advice. Guest: Donald Lush
Welcome to the second Postdocalypse episode of 2019! This podcast is produced by Health Sciences PhD researchers at King's College London.
In this episode, we will help you sort out your life! Just kidding, but we will interview Donald Lush from the Careers & Employability office who has some reassuring advice about post-PhD options. Don't worry, you will find a job! In addition, we will hear from Elisa's favourite crime-solving gumshoe, Julie, who will discuss her research getting to the bottom of touch DNA in forensic science. Basically, you will never want to touch anything again! Spoiler: Your DNA is everywhere, even if you weren't.
Check out the Master Class series we mention at Guy's Hospital to "broaden your perspective of how the science you generate fits in with the world at large."

Reach out to Donald and his colleagues by any means necessary! You heard it here first - he responds to carrier pigeons. Challenge accepted, Donald. For more traditional methods, check out the Careers & Employability website for some seriously reassuring advice: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/campuslife/services/careers/index
