Episode description

After what’s being hailed a “phenomenal” success in getting young people into vaccination centres, Snapchat, Reddit, TikTok, and YouTube are partnering up with the UK Government and NHS to get more young adults jabbed. The first person in the world to receive a covid vaccine has been reflecting on her moment in history. The team behind a crewless AI repeat of the Mayflower’s journey to the US are vowing not to give up after their ship had to turn back at the weekend. Boris Johnson says a new National Science and Technology Council will cement the UK’s place as a “science superpower”. Nasa’s still trying to figure out what’s wrong with the Hubble telescope. Activists have been demonstrating outside London’s Science Museum over its decision to accept sponsorship from an oil firm. And, could a Gaelic-speaking voice assistant be on its way?
