Listen Later

Experts at the University of Southampton are trialling a new covid vaccine that doesn’t require a needle, and could prove more effective than current jabs. Their vaccine instead uses a jet of air to give patients their dose. Scientists at the uni say it’s also designed to predict mutations in the virus, and could protect against future variants. MPs have called for ‘major changes’ to the draft Online Safety Bill. Poppy Wood from Reset discusses how important the legislation will be. Is WFH the future for workers? We speak with Zoom about how video-call tech has become so prevalent. Elon Musk announces Tesla accepting Dogecoin as payment, and the giant glacier which could crash into the ocean in 3-5 years.
