Podcast: Reading pain from the brains of infants, modeling digital faces, and wifi holograms
This week, we discuss the most accurate digital model of a human face to date, stray Wi-Fi signals that can be used to spy on a closed room, and artificial intelligence that can predict Supreme Court decisions with Online News Editor Catherine Matacic. Caroline Hartley joins Sarah Crespi to discuss a scan that can detect pain in babies —a useful tool when they can’t tell you whether something really hurts. Listen to previous podcasts. See more book segments. (Source: Science Magazine Podcast)

Identifying a viral rash in pregnancy
Viral exanthema can cause rash in a pregnant woman and should be considered even in countries that have comprehensive vaccination programmes. Measles and rubella can cause intrauterine death. Intrauterine infection with rubella can lead to congenital rubella syndrome in the liveborn baby.
In this podcast, Jack Carruthers, honorary clinical research fellow at Imperial College London joins us to discuss spotting a viral rash, what steps to take to assess cause, and what advice to give a worried parent.
