About this show
Dr Andrew Brown (The University of Edinburgh) examines how his grandparents, along with 400 other Polish refugees, found shelter – and an education – in the Edinburgh Medical School during WWII. Now Andrew’s found shelter there too – from Trump. Is history repeating? Sperm counts are declining and male fertility hangs in the balance. But what lies behind this threat to our very existence? Professor Rod Mitchell (The University of Edinburgh) has just 30 minutes to save the human race. Part of the Edinburgh Medical School’s 300th Anniversary.
