A student reviews... Coronavirus: The Whole Story

Have you tuned into UCL's weekly coronavirus podcast yet? Get the run-down of what to expect - and look out for - in this review by UCL Student Journalist Eamonn Lynch-Bowers. In these uncertain times, it is sometimes all too easy to feel overwhelmed by events. Coronavirus has changed the way we live our lives - perhaps irreversibly - in just a matter of months, and in many ways its immediate medical implications are only the tip of the iceberg. The pandemic has precipitated social, economic, and political knock-on effects, the scale of which may take years to become fully apparent. In Coronavirus: The Whole Story, a new podcast series from UCL Minds, host Vivienne Parry begins to examine these issues by drawing together academic expertise from the full breadth of the university's latest research in an effort to understand how coronavirus has changed our world. With daily life interrupted almost universally, mental health has become a particular focus in recent times. In episode six, Parry is joined by UCL academics Dr Daisy Fancourt, Dr Jo Billings, and Dr Rochelle Burgess to discuss the implications of coronavirus for emotional wellbeing.
