Alzheimer's drugs & tackling HIV
About this episode
This episode discusses Alzheimer's drugs, a notable HIV case, gut health, and the upcoming Lyrid meteor shower.
This week, we look at UK Alzheimer's drugs and the latest debate over whether new treatments are a genuine breakthrough or overhyped, alongside a striking HIV case from Oslo that has raised fresh questions in medical research. We also explore new findings on gut health and its link to hormones and modern disease in industrialised societies, before turning to the skies for the Lyrid meteor shower 2026 and when to see it in the UK...
