The Immunoverse (ft. Catriona Nguyen-Robertson)

Come on a journey with us… into the immunoverse! Inside our immune system we have a whole host of characters: from assassins to superheroes, hipsters to butlers. Kate and Matt are joined once more by singing scientist Catriona Nguyen-Robertson. Cat is an immunologist who tells us about some of the cool immune cells she studies, and the role they play in our internal immunoverse.

Kate also answers a listener question about snakes… do they have necks?!
