A lecture by Professor Robin May, Gresham Professor of Physic.

Whether you are human or computer, viruses can ruin your day, so taking steps to avoid them is important.

This lecture asks whether there are similarities between human immunity and computer immunity? Can we use discoveries in one system to help protect against infections in the other? Might we one day take our laptops for regular vaccinations, or run a ‘software update’ on our own immune systems to avoid an emerging pathogen?
