In this edition: A better test for diagnosing childhood illness, improving planetary protection and financing sustainability.
News: Diagnosing childhood illnesses \u2013 We learn about a new blood test that can determine what\u2019s causing fevers in children in only an hour, by analysing the distinctive pattern of genes being \u2018switched on or off\u2019 by the body in response to specific illnesses.
Improving planetary protection \u2013 How do we make sure we don\u2019t contaminate other worlds with our space missions, or contaminate Earth with samples returned from elsewhere in the Solar System? We speak to Professor Mark Sephton about a new project to make better risk assessments and improve planetary protection.
Sustainable finance \u2013 We tap into the Green Minds podcast to hear from Bloomberg\u2019s Nadia Humphreys about how \u2018taxonomies\u2019 can lay out how business can be greener. Listen to the full interview on IB Podcasts.
