Covid-19: Science Policy in extremis with Dr Joshua Moon

A novel virus causing panic and paranoia across the globe is not just a scientific challenge but a science policy challenge. How do we make decisions under scientific uncertainty? And why do countries have different responses to the same virus? Dr Joshua Moon explains how scientific advice feeds into policy, how new technologies help us innovate in difficult circumstances as well as the role of policy in supporting technologies. Dr Joshua Moon is Research Fellow at the Science Policy Research Unit, part of the University of Sussex Business School: https://www.sussex.ac.uk/business-sch...
