Jess King

Sometimes mental health issues can lead to self harm, and those who have been affected are often left with scars on their bodies which makes moving on with their lives very difficult.   Jess King has set up a charity which has found a unique way of covering these scars - they raise money for tattoos which cover the damaged skin.

Jackie Hughes and Haley Hendy

Wet nurses seem to be a far distant trend compared to how we feed babies in the 21st century. So what do mothers do if they are unable to breast feed their babies? particularly if the babies are perhaps premature or sickly and would benefit from breast milk.   Jackie Hughes and Haley Hendy tell us about the Human Milk Bank and talk about both the donors and the recipients.

MONICA SAAVEDRA

 

We chat to CTO & Co-Founder Monica Saavedra. She's turning sunlight into food. As a physicist turned founder, she created Lambda Agri to solve a fascinating problem: if you can squeeze just 1% more light into a greenhouse, you get 1% more food out. After two decades in materials science, she's now building tech that could help feed the world, one ray of light at a time.
