Inside the COVID brain
On Demand (IF 2020)
Talk | Science, Technology, The Mind
COVID-19 has been this year’s big disrupter and life might not return to normal for a long time to come. The Explorazone Digital finale takes you on a tour with the help of a volunteer and a powerful brain scanner to understand the effects this coronavirus can have on the human body. There will be time to ask questions about the research and hear the experience of at least one COVID-19 survivor.
