Even though they attended Gonville &amp; Caius College at different times, they share a passion for making a real difference. Listen in as they get to know each other, share career stories, reminisce about their time at Cambridge and Caius, and discuss this critical issue from their own perspectives.

She compares notes with Amy Dighe, a PhD student looking at the epidemiology of infectious diseases.
