One of my big projects for 2023 has been putting together When Science Finds A Way — a podcast from the Wellcome Trust that tells real stories from the cutting-edge of health research.
In the series, botanist-turned-Hollywood-actor Alisha Wainwright chats to scientists and researchers working on some big problems. Think climate change, mental health, infectious disease...
But it's not all gloom and doom. When Science Finds A Way delivers a dash of #hope, giving insight into some innovative solutions. This is health research brought to life, and delivered to your podcast app.
The show finished its first series in style this past week, with a special bonus panel discussion episode hosted by none other than Julia Gillard AC (the 27th Prime Minister of Australia)! Photo evidence of our collaboration below.
It was a truly global production. When Science Finds A Way features voices from India, Kenya, the UK, the US, Sierra Leone, Brazil, South Africa, Australia, Fiji, Indonesia, Malawi, Denmark, the Netherlands, Nigeria and Guinea.
So, in short — if you’ve ever wanted to chat about the global health impacts of antimicrobial resistance, now’s the perfect time to hit me up.
