Today on the podcast we look at the lasting effects that COVID-19 can have on our brains. Emma Keeling talks to professor Robert Stevens from Johns Hopkins Medicine in Maryland. Stevens describes a “secondary pandemic” where we could be struggling with the after-effects of COVID-19 long after we think we’ve recovered [02:02].
Only a slightly lighter note, Shini Somara talks to professor Robin Beaman, a scientist at James Cook University. Professor Beaman is part of the The Nippon Foundation-Gebco Seabed 2030 Project, a project committed to mapping 100 percent of the ocean floor. Beaman describes the ocean life he saw on his team’s state-of-the-art camera and he also tells us why he thinks it's important for us to have an accurate picture of what our ocean floor looks like [11:01].
In a new segment, Shini and Emma talk about some of the biggest stories in science that we might have missed this week. Shini tells us what she thinks of SpaceX’s joint venture with NASA and how excited she is for the next era of space exploration [22:11].
