Bonus Episode - Futures in Biotech Episode 43 - Temporal Alien Mammoth Overlords

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 16:24:29 -0400

I recorded this episode with four really smart guys. Futures in Biotech is a TWiT.tv podcast (which you have likely heard of, and if not, check out their stuff). hosted by Marc Pelletier. The show featured Vincent Racaniello, Andre Nantel, Justin Sanchez and yours truly talking about science that will change the world. I really appreciate Marc having asked me to be on the show, and I must say it was a total blast. I even got to do the audible ad!
I recently recorded episode 44 of FIB with Marc and will post it when Marc does.

Oh, if you would like to hear an interview with Dr. Pelletier check out this clip from thunderbird six. Perhaps we can even get Marc on Tangential Convergence sometime….
