The global pandemic which began in 2020 has brought unprecedented exposure and pressure for science advisors. A recent book, 'The Science and Politics of Covid-19', surveys the political and scientific response to the crisis. This episode features a wide-ranging conversation with the author, Dr Michel Claessens, on what went right, what went wrong, and what this might mean for the future of science advice.
