We travel through space with the team from Imperial's Space Magnetometer Laboratory to explore the science behind magnetic fields, see how technology is transforming teaching at the College and learn how Imperial's researchers are working to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic. We also tune up with the Imperial College Symphony Orchestra, visit student Hannah Lau in the RCS Motor Garage and investigate the unintended consequences of road building in Iraq.
