Tackling COVID in Africa with Two Wheels for Life

Tackling COVID in Africa with Two Wheels for Life

Author: The Cosmic Shambles Network January 23, 2022 Duration: 49:48
The mantra of 'We're not vaccinated against COVID until the whole world is vaccinated' is now more prevalent than ever. At last year's British MotoGP round at Silverstone Robin Ince went along to meet up with Andrea Coleman and 13 time Grand Prix winner Randy Mamola, founders of the charity Two Wheels for Life. The charity uses motorcycles to deliver healthcare, and now, COVID vaccines to hard to reach rural communities in Africa. Robin, Andrea and Randy chat about their work during the pandemic, how the charity got started and changing the public perception around motorcycles. Special thanks to Dorna and Silverstone. Two Wheels for Life is one of the charities we supported at 2021's Christmas Compendium of Reason, hosted by Robin and Brian Cox.

From the team behind The Cosmic Shambles Network comes Science Shambles, a podcast that sits at the delightful intersection of expert knowledge and genuine curiosity. This isn't a formal lecture series; it's a semi-regular gathering of minds where scientists from every conceivable field are welcomed for sprawling, engaging conversations. You might hear a cosmologist pondering the nature of dark matter one week, and a medical researcher explaining the intricacies of the immune system the next, all approached with a warmth and wit that makes complex ideas accessible. The tone is rooted in the belief that not knowing something is simply the starting point for a fascinating discussion, not a shortcoming. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair in a lively pub where the topics just happen to be the fundamental workings of the universe, our planet, and ourselves. It's for anyone who enjoys the thrill of connecting dots between disciplines, finding that art, history, or philosophy often illuminate scientific truths in unexpected ways. By weaving comedy and medicine into its core science remit, this podcast from The Cosmic Shambles Network creates a uniquely human and entertaining listen, celebrating the messy, brilliant, and endlessly surprising process of discovery. Tune in for thoughtful, funny, and deeply informative chats that remind us all just how strange and wonderful reality really is.
