Season 27 Episode 1 - Viruses, the energy transition, new drugs
Why is it so difficult to do without fossil fuels, and how can we accelerate the energy transition to cleaner sources? We've figured it out: viruses can spread with a simple sneeze and circle the planet in just a few weeks. But where do they come from? And how are they studied? Every year, more than 50 new drugs appear on the market. Paolo Magliocco and Rossella Li Vigni visited the Poison Control Center at the Maugeri Clinical Institutes in Pavia to learn about the arduous struggle to discover them, catalog them. And make them illegal.
