Blue Sky Podcast

Even after COVID-19 is controlled, climate change, growing resistance to antibiotics and lack of clean water will still be waiting for us. We need research that could change… everything. That’s what the Blue Sky funding initiative is all about. This podcast is a limited series from RE: Engineering Radio. Season 1 is an introduction to each project.
