Tech For Good Live

Welcome to a brand new season of the Tech for Good Live podcast! We’ve not been recording for a few weeks so let’s just quickly check to see how the world is going: Ok, the world is still ravaged by the global pandemic. Racism is still everywhere, and awful, with no sign of improving. Charities are collapsing due to lack of funding. People have given up on social distancing... Cool.  Oh – but Taylor Swift has a new album out though, so it’s not all bad (eyeroll) In spite of this, the podcast team has dutifully assembled. Joining host Bex we have Greg Ashton, Tom Passmore and our special guest this week is Lauren Bevan, Head of Healthcare at health and social care technology specialists, BJSS (who are hiring!) Topics in this episode Stat of the week:  Government to shed 6,000 jobs in a contact tracing pivot to a more local approach - BBC And some people are making it harder: Why some people are giving false information - The Conversation 40 people exposed to Coronavirus in Cornwall  Charit
