10 minutes to read
Greg Bruce meets Dame Juliet Gerrard, the Prime Minister s chief science advisor. I asked Dame Juliet Gerrard if she ever relies on gut feeling. I said it seemed like gut feeling would have been required a lot in the early days of the pandemic, when we didn t know anything about the virus.
She said: I think scientists call gut feeling a hypothesis .
That sounded quite witty for a scientist, so I asked if she d used that line before. She said she hadn t. She said: It was a glib answer, but I think there s something in that. That s what scientists do: They read a lot, and they have a hunch; and they think: Okay, so how am I going to test that hunch?
