Listen to the last episode:
Dr Chris Smith and the Naked Scientist team present the latest science news, analysis and breakthroughs. In this week's episode... we discuss a future proof Covid jab that combats variants that don’t even exist yet, signs that antimatter does obey the rules of gravity and why one doomsday scenario is predicting we’re all going to wiped out in 250 million years’ time when plate tectonics give us a new super continent. Plus in our Titans of Science series, we talk to former Chief Medical Advisor to the White House, Dr Anthony Fauci, about what It was like working with Donald Trump across Covid and his handling of the first cases of HIV in the USA back in the 1980s.
