    ‘How to biohack your cells to fight cancer’
    TED Ed & UCL
     
    An absolutely stunning animated YouTube video explaining a new cancer treatment (CAR T Cell therapy).
     
    Rather than the standard, clinical, emotionless 3D graphics used in many biomedical videos, we created an immersive, manga-inspired, cyber-punk world of biohacking.
     
    We approached TED Ed to see if they would be interested in publishing it, they were incredibly impressed and decided to upload it - the first externally produced video TED Ed have taken.
     
    It currently has over 400k views and very positive comments.
     
    Commissioned by NIHR University College London Hospitals Biomedical Research Centre.

    Surprisingly Brilliant from Seeker - LOG
    The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread?
    (now a BBC Radio 4 series)
    We produced two episodes of this podcast before it was snapped up by BBC Radio 4 & BBC Sounds. sciencemedia.studio's Creative Director Greg Foot continues to write & host it for BBC Radio 4 and the extended podcasts did very well, with one of the episodes reaching #5 in the main iTunes chart!

    The podcast investigates the bold claims being made by promising products and our first episodes investigated:
    - Can a ‘Wake-Up Light’ really “keep your sleep cycle on track and brighten your winter blues”?
    - Can the “billions of good bacteria” in ‘Probiotic’ Drinks actually “make your tummy smile”?
