Ask a Professional - Zika virus and climate change with Nerea Irigoyen


Listen Later

This is ‘Ask a professional’, the format of the Viral Talk where the focus is on the science but most importantly the PERSON

behind the science. From insect-borne viruses to SARS-CoV-2, we’re going to interview experts from the UK and the world on their research and then we’re going to talk about their career, future prospects and tips for younger generations of future scientists. In this episode Federico interviews
Nerea Irigoyen, Research group leader in the Pathology department of the University of Cambridge. We’re going to talk about Zika virus in pregnancy, the role of climate change for mosquito-borne viruses, and keeping in mind that science is frustrating.
