The Science Behind Coronavirus - with Prof Greg Towers
Hi folks! We are all aware of the current pandemic, the effects on our lives, healthcare systems, and the economy but how much do we actually understand about the virus itself? In this episode, I get behind the coronavirus story by digging into the science of the virus itself: what is a virus? Where did it come from and does anti-bacterial gel actually work? My guest is Professor Greg Towers, a Molecular Virologist in the Department of Infection and Immunology at UCL and is on twitter @towerslab.
