Episode description

Welcome to Cosmos Science Daily, where journalists from the Cosmos newsroom report on the latest research and discoveries and explain the science behind the headline news. Today’s newsroom journalist and science graduate specialising in genetics, immunology and citizen science, Imma Perfetto, is talking about turning white blood cells into medicinal microrobots. And your host is Dr Sophie Calabretto, applied mathematician and fluid mechanist, who really hopes that these medicinal microrobots look like tiny versions of Rosey from the Jetsons.
