Priya Joi | Surviving being 'othered' and why nothing should scare you.
About this episode
How is your relationship to risk impacted by being a science journalist who is at the frontline of breaking stories like Ebola, HIV and, of course, Covid-19? That’s something I wanted to unpick with Priya Joi, who writes for New Scientist and the World Health Organisation, during our conversation.
Priya’s life lessons are informed by a period of chronic fatigue in her 20s that left her housebound and wondering if she’d ever be able to travel or live the life she loved, again.
Priya’s rational and compassionate view of life and what it throws at you is a real pleasure to listen to.
Priya’s book Motherland is available now.
