What is the Turing podcast?
The Turing Podcast is an exciting new podcast where we discuss all things data science, AI and machine learning with a focus on real-time research taking place at the Turing.
Who is the Turing podcast’s Tom Chivers?
This week The Turing Podcast welcomes our second external guest interviewee: Tom Chivers. Tom is a science writer and journalist who has previously worked for the Daily Telegraph and Buzzfeed UK, but now writes for the online publication UnHerd.
What is “project Odysseus” by the Alan Turing Institute?
This week on The Turing Podcast, the hosts chat with James Walsh, a research assistant at The Alan Turing Institute, and Funmi Kesa, a PhD student at the University of Warwick, and hear about their work on “Project Odysseus”, one of The Alan Turing Institute’s key research projects in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
What is the AI and data science podcast?
The podcast will talk to a diverse range of leading figures in data science and AI from within in the Institute and beyond. Each episode begins with a short recap of an AI story making the news, followed by a discussion with a guest from across the Turing community on their work applying data science and AI to real-world scenarios.

Who are the hosts of the Alan Turing Institute podcast?
On the podcast this week, the hosts chat with Dr Chris Hicks and Dr David Butler , who work as post-doctoral researchers in security and cryptography at The Alan Turing Institute. In an episode that focusses on one of the projects the institute has undertaken to help tackle the pandemic, they discuss how to build a privacy-preserving system for issuing and verifying COVID-19 antibody certificates, a technology that could be used to help with the easing of pandemic measures in some scenarios. If you’d like to learn more about this research, check out their paper here.

Who is Alan Turing?
This week on The Turing Podcast we're joined for a second time by Alan Turing Institute fellow Dr Peter Tennant of the Leeds Institute for Data Analytics, for a discussion about the scientific communities' response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Peter is an expert not only in data science, but also Epidemiology and causal inference. The discussion took place in June when fewer of the UK’s lockdown restrictions had been lifted.
Who is Tim Hubbard?
This week the hosts are joined by Professor Tim Hubbard, who is Head of the Department of Medical & Molecular Genetics at King’s College London, and Associate Director of Health Data Research UK in London, as well as being the Head of Genome Analysis at Genomics England. They discuss the recent success of Deep Mind's AlphaFold protein structure prediction software at the CASP14 competition and other developments from the worlds of health data science and genomics.
Who is Dan Stowell?
This week the hosts chat with Dr Dan Stowell, senior researcher at Queen Mary University of London and fellow of The Alan Turing Institute, about his work on addressing climate change via creating high-coverage open dataset of solar photovoltaic installations in the UK.
Who is Eric Daub?
In this week's podcast, the hosts speak with Dr Eric Daub, a Principal Research Data Scientist at The Alan Turing Institute, about his involvement in measuring, monitoring, and analysing the performance of the world’s largest 3D printed metal structure: a 12 metre-long stainless steel bridge crossing one of Amsterdam's canals.
Authors
Speaking on The Turing Podcast, Professor Jon Crowcroft describes the challenges created by Covid-19, saying that “if we come up with apps that want to use an NHS number or a hash of it in some secure fashion then we have to be cautious about the UK’s rather unique resistance to having a singular ID system, which is an odd feature of this country.” While there are a range of solutions to track and tackle this pandemic, he explains that for data and machine learning to be utilised effectively, “whatever you do you have to explain it to the public.”.
