About this show
Marianne Chiu-Lezeau (The University of Edinburgh) explores vaccines and how to talk to people about diseases that sound like they might not exist. How do we fight disinformation and help people access healthcare? Dr Cameron Wyatt (The University of Edinburgh), declares that zebrafish are the superior organism. But don’t worry, humans have an 86% genetic overlap with zebrafish so you're not as far from perfection as appearances might lead you to believe. Part of the Edinburgh Medical School’s 300th Anniversary.
