Today: Scientists to this day can’t define what life is. For every definition, there’s an animal, a plant -- something that breaks the rules. So how does science answer that? Science writer @carlzimmer joins us to explore the borderlands of life. wbur.fm/31AY9Id

We got self-collected oropharyngeal swabs from 1800 people from our university community and tested them for SARS-CoV-2 using RT-qPCR and CREST (our UCSB developed method). We found positive cases ~3 weeks after the social distancing measures were relaxed in our city. (2/3)
