YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Jonathan Rothberg, one of the most prolific inventors of the past 20 years, is stuck on a yacht because of the coronavirus. The good news is that the yacht - The Gene Machine - has a laboratory, and Rothberg has set to work designing a cheap, super-fast Covid-19 test that, if successful, could help tackle the disease and future outbreaks.

Hello World invites the viewer to come on a global journey - and in the era of COVID-19, that journey requires a careful bit of social distancing. Nonetheless, it's a journey that stretches across the globe to find the inventors, scientists and technologists shaping our future. Join journalist and best-selling author Ashlee Vance on a quest to find the freshest, weirdest tech creations and the beautiful freaks behind them.
