About the show

Show Information

The Provocateurs: A disease by any other name... / It all went wrong at legs

Marianne Chiu-Lezeau (The University of Edinburgh) explores vaccines and how to talk to people about diseases that sound like they might not exist. How do we fight disinformation and help people access healthcare.

Dr Cameron Wyatt (The University of Edinburgh), declares that zebrafish are the superior organism. But don’t worry, humans have an 86% genetic overlap with zebrafish so you're not as far from perfection as appearances might lead you to believe.

Part of the Edinburgh Medical School’s 300th Anniversary.

14+ must be accompanied by an adult.

ALL SEATING IS UNRESERVED AND LATECOMERS MAY NOT BE ADMITTED
