    [Conversation #1] – How sustainable composites are changing the way we think of materials

    When we think of innovation in materials technology, we envision a landscape where cutting-edge research and creative thinking converge to transform the way we construct or manufacture and utilize materials, while simultaneously addressing environmental concerns. Sustainable composites represent one such innovation, which has been significant, to say the least, in the quest for eco-friendly and resource efficient materials.
    On this episode we speak to Dr Damien Lenoble, Director of the Materials Research and Technology department, at LIST, to know a little bit about these composites and how they've had a remarkable impact on various sectors.

    [Conversation #2] – How has wastewater monitoring helped the fight against Covid-19 (and other infectious diseases)?

    View transcript
    Wastewater surveillance and its use in determining the status quo of the health situation gained particular prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has proven to be an effective tool for gathering timely and valuable intelligence regardless of people's behaviour (such as their willingness to get tested, for example) and interventions (such as the implementation of containment measures). What does wastewater monitoring involve? Would such a surveillance mechanism help predict the next pandemic? We spoke to Dr Leslie Ogorzaly, senior researcher within the Environmental Research and Innovation department at LIST, to try to answer these questions.
