A few weeks ago, the Society had its Annual Conference in Liverpool. We spoke to a few of the researchers that were presenting at the event and asked them about their work.

On the podcast this month:

Professor W. Ian Lipkin, talking about pandemics and Hollywood movies.

Dr Laura Clarke, talking about bacteria that do strange things to nematodes.

Professor Marvin Whiteley, talking about polymicrobial infections.

Dr Roger Sanders, talking about the chances of developing an HIV vaccine.

Dr Rita Colwell, talking about the challenges facing early-career women scientists.
