Covid app findings, AI writing, and brainy birds

Dr Chris Smith presents science news featuring findings from NHS Covid app data, a new science minister, AI writing, and the cognitive behaviour of birds with Nicky Clayton.

Dr Chris Smith and the Naked Scientist team present the latest science news, analysis and breakthroughs.

This week we discover what the Covid app has told us about how diseases spread across the UK
We look at what the appointment of Sir Patrick Vallance as Minister for Science means for the scientific community.
