Show Notes

It's the final Razor podcast of 2020! In this episode Shini Somara and Emma Keeling look at what would happen if Covid-19 took hold in animals. Emma spoke to Tony Goldberg, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Wisconsin in the U.S. Goldberg  has been studying the ecology and evolution of infectious diseases in nature and explains the dangers of covid-19 moving back into animal populations [02:03]. 

In what’s exciting us in science this week, Shini explains how you can take a simple test to find out if you’re healthy and Emma shares some interesting facts about murderous hornets.  If you enjoy the podcast and you want to check out some of the clips we discuss in the show, subscribe to RAZOR Science Show on Youtube.
