| Dear reader,
One of the greatest unanswered questions is how easily the coronavirus spreads through the air. While scientists know that our coughs and sneezes fire out virus particles, they don’t know how long they linger for. Luke Mintz investigates the changing science behind the issue, and how it might impact the way we keep safe in public.
If you’ve got children at home and they’re playing hours and hours of video games, you may finally have a reason not to worry too much about it. As part of The Great British Intelligence Test, the BBC and Imperial College London teamed up for a huge study of the nation’s intellect. Ahead of the show, Dr Michael Mosley told Catherine Gee about their findings, including the surprising benefits of gaming and the smartest parts of the country.
Finally, Dame Vera Lynn has been cast back into the British public’s thoughts in recent weeks, especially after the Queen referenced her most famous lyrics. Charlotte Lytton sat down, virtually, with the 103-year-old to discuss her career and how useful wartime comparisons are to today’s crisis.
