    Episode summary

     

    We discuss if it’s possible for scientists to work from home, cytokine storms and a brand new 'magic' toilet.

     

    Our panellists this week make pitches for command over our internal armies of bacteria phages and reprogramming our immune cells.

     

    The audience want self-scratching backs and bodies we can repair ourselves.
