(Eunice Kim) In-Depth News Analysis: Last Wednesday, the World Health Organization(WHO) said that the end of the COVID-19 pandemic is in sight, after the agency reported a 22-percent on-week drop in virus deaths worldwide. Echoing such sentiments, Jung Ki-suck, the head of South Korea’s advisory committee on infectious diseases, suggested a possible end to the pandemic in six months' time. For reaction to these comments, Dr. Deepti Gurdasani from the Queen Mary University of London joins us on the line. Korea Trending with Walter Lee: 1.

This week, we begin with a disturbing medical mystery. Since the start of the year, almost 200 children worldwide have fallen ill with hepatitis—or liver inflammation—without any apparent cause. Most of the children are under five, and nearly half of the cases were in the UK. Vic Gill asks clinical epidemiologist Deepti Gurdasani, Queen Mary University of London, what we do and don't know about these rare cases. Also on the programme, with a huge tidal range, Wales and the west coast of England have become the focal point for a new generation of tidal power plans. So, is the tidal energy revolution finally happening? Roger Falconer, Emeritus Professor of Water and Environmental Engineering at Cardiff University, and Andrew Scott, CEO of Orbital Marine Power, which has demonstrated a working tidal stream turbine - called O2 - off Orkney, share their insights. And fancy eating an insect burger? Or how about adding seaweed smoothies or mycoprotein meatballs to your diet? Fellow BBC science correspondent Helen Briggs shares how lab-grown proteins could make our diets much kinder to the planet. And a recent study has found that a fifth of reptile species are at risk of extinction. Conservation scientist and study co-author Monika Bohm, Indianapolis Zoo in the US, tells us how, despite the gloomy findings, she remains hopeful. Presented by Victoria Gill Produced by Alex Mansfield and Samara Linton
In February 2022, the Westminster government declared Covid 19 "Freedom Day", removing the requirement for people to wear masks in public, and self isolate even if they were positive. Now, UK Covid rates have reached record levels but free testing has been removed for most people in England, reflecting ministers' desire to "live with" Covid 19. But what are the long term consequences for public health? And what's the impact on those with underlying health conditions? Adrian Goldberg hears from clinical epidemiologist Dr Deepti Gurdasani of Queen Mary University London, Safiah Ngah who lost her father Zahari in the pandemic, and Sarah Walker whose brother Ben has severe learning disabilities. Made in Birmingham by Adrian Goldberg and Harvey White.

Deepti is a clinical epidemiologist and throughout the pandemic, she has been very vocal about the lack of data the British government has been providing to the public. Deepti has used her own platform to speak truth to power and raise alarm bells with the government's handling of the pandemic. But this isn't the first time she decided speaking up was important - Deepti previously worked at the Sanger Institute where she had to face terrible consequences for challenging her managers. We discuss Deepti's upbringing and how she went against all odds to marry the man she fell in love with during her time at medical school.

Take a look around — because this is the wildest part of the pandemic anyone's ever seen. And we've started to normalize a few things we shouldn't.
The Omicron crisis in the United Kingdom could serve as a warning sign for Canada, its provinces and its politicians. We speak to Dr. Deepti Gurdasani, a clinical epidemiologist at Queen Mary University of London, about the variant's effect on the U.K. health-care system; and Paul Brand, the UK Editor at ITV News, about how this could impact Boris Johnson's leadership.
How are countries around the world faring with COVID-19? We discuss new restrictions and low vaccination rates in Russia with Anna Nemtsova, the Moscow correspondent for The Daily Beast; skyrocketing cases among the young in the U.K. with clinical epidemiologist Dr. Deepti Gurdasani; and a success story in Puerto Rico with Daniel Colón-Ramos, president of the Scientific Coalition of Puerto Rico.
Since its introduction four decades ago, Spartina alterniflora, a salt-water cordgrass from the USA, has been spreading along China's coasts. Today, it covers nearly half of the country's salt marshes. As the UN Biodiversity Conference COP 15 kicks off in China, we look at how this invasive plant species threatens native species in protected coastal wetlands. Featuring Yuan Lin, East China Normal University, and Qiang He, Fudan University. In January 2020, Barney Graham and Jason McLellan teamed up to engineer a coronavirus spike protein that now powers the COVID-19 vaccines for Moderna, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson and Novavax. They discuss their work, a next-generation vaccine using chicken eggs, and the future of pandemic preparedness. Also, a recent Nature survey reveals the extent of abuse against scientists who speak about COVID-19 publicly. Deepti Gurdasani, Queen Mary University of London, shares her experiences of trolling and online abuse and discusses the implications for academia and scientific discourse going forward. And Tom Scott explains how his team uses novel robots and sensors to go into and create 3D digital radiation maps of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant and surrounding areas. Philosophers have long pondered the concept of a brain in a jar, hooked up to a simulated world. Though this has largely remained a thought experiment, CrowdScience listener JP wants to know if it might become reality in the not-too-distant future, with advances in stem cell research. In the two decades since stem cell research began, scientists have learned how to use these cells to create the myriad of cell types in our bodies, including those in our brains, offering researchers ways to study neurological injuries and neurodegenerative disorders. Some labs have actually started 3D printing stem cells into sections of brain tissue in order to study specific interactions in the brain. Human brain organoids offer another way to study brain development and diseases from autism to the Zika virus. So, might stem cell research one day lead to a fully-grown human brain, or is that resolutely in the realm of science fiction? If something resembling our brains is on the horizon, is there any chance that it could actually become conscious? And how would we even know if it was? Host Marnie Chesterton takes a peek inside the human brain and speaks with leading scientists in the field, including a philosopher and ethicist who talks about the benefits – and potential pitfalls – of growing human brain models. Along the way, we'll pull apart the science from what still remains (at least for now) fiction. (Credit: Getty Images)
