The miracle of science that is Dr Suze Kundu gets on the Zoom with Mick to talk vaccines, what’s happening in the world of STEM, how to tackle those home-school science lessons and – of course – how it's going for women and girls in science.  Over on Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen’s explaining why those “business meetings in Dubai” have made for a bad week for the Women’s Super League, while in Rated or Dated, the team asks "What's with the kids today?
