Switchboard Weekly: (Mis)calculated grades, the myth of “following the science”, and a quarantine haircut (S1, Ep. 3)
Switchboard is back to keep you connected to the Cambridge community at a time when students and staff are scattered across the globe.

This week, we discuss what the prospect of calculated grades means for marginalised students (00:50).
Marshall Scholar Jack Chellman shares an original piece reflecting on a quarantine haircut (09:00).
During CoronaBoard, we speak to Dr Jana Bacevic about the myth of “following the science” (14:10).
Zoe Matt-Williams and Rebekah Rochester of The Mays give us an insight into what we can expect from this year’s edition of the anthology (21:20).
We close out with The Plug, the segment keeping you in the loop with the hottest events happening across the Cambridge uni community over the next week (27:35).
The Cambridge community is now spread across the UK and around the world, but Switchboard is here to keep you connected. Every episode connects you to an eclectic array of voices and sounds, from Cambridge and beyond...
Thanks a lot to Patrick Fitzgerald for his track raindance, used during The Plug segment.
