Episode description

Today we’re joined by Natasha McEnroe, Keeper of Medicine at the Science Museum in London. The Science Museum has been collecting items throughout the pandemic, and is launching a major global exhibition about the Covid vaccine next year.

Natasha explains why these projects are so important and how she has learned the lessons of history - especially from the Spanish flu pandemic of the early 20th century. The Science Museum's aim is to educate the public during this and future pandemics, as well as to promote a better understanding of vaccines.
