Uplift - Episode 1: What biological debris detection and the performing arts have in common

In anticipation of a return to the office, the Uplift podcast series aims to mimic lift rides - without the awkward silences. Each time, we bring together two people who’ve never met each other before.  It may be a tech startup and an ad agency, people in the same building or opposite sides of the road. Uplift - Taking connections to the next level

In episode 1, we talk to Bethany McDonald Shepherd from LAMDA and John Simpson of Fresh Check. One studied and has worked extensively in theatres and the arts, the other has a PhD from Imperial College London in single cell proteomics and is CTO of a biotech startup.
