About the 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? Professor Tara Spires-Jones (The University of Edinburgh) explores the neuroscience behind a new blood test for Alzheimer’s disease and what it means (and doesn’t mean) for treatment. If you were likely to develop dementia, would you really want to know? Part of the Edinburgh Medical School’s 300th Anniversary.
