Dr James Gurney is a microbiologist interested in infectious diseases. He is also a big fan of science communication whether that means talking to students in classrooms, hosting his own podcast, or consulting for Kurzgesagt. In fact it’s the latter that inspired us to ask James on our show. You can find the Kurzgesagt on the novel coronavirus here.

We talked about James’ current research, armchair scientists and naturally, COVID-19.

You can ask James more questions by finding him on Twitter @Jamesrgurney.

This COVID-19 series is our first trip into livestream events. We’d like to thank James for speaking with us, and to our audience for joining the conversation.
