Imperial podcast: Visit the heart and lung repair shop and estimate childhood TB

by Gail Wilson

We visit a repair shop with a difference to find out about the research involved in heart and lung repair.

Dr James Seddon discusses a new study that suggests there are tens of millions of children with undiagnosed tuberculosis, and outlines interventions to prevent children from getting the disease.

The podcast is presented by Gareth Mitchell, a lecturer on Imperial's Science Communication MSc course and the presenter of Click Radio on the BBC World Service, with contributions from our roaming reporters from the Research Communications team.
