There is so much to learn these days, how can you keep up? I decided to try listening to podcasts when I was doing something that kept my body busy but my brain on idle. So far, I have listened to three, and published InnovATE BIO blogs about each one that you might want to read, but there are plenty more out there that I plan on trying. It took a bit of getting used to as I tend to concentrate much more on what my eyes see than on what my ears hear (probably why I am so... Read more

Bio Eats World ? With a podcast title like that, how could you not listen? I had to tune in, and was glad I did. Bio science and healthcare are changing quickly, and while it may seem that ever since the genome project things have been accelerating, well, I think it has ramped up recently. And the avenues for influence have expanded--food production, bio/manufacturing, as well as healthcare are all showing incredible innovations. But how can we stay up-to-date, to have enough knowledge to be able to make sense of all these developments? Tuning in to... Read more

Talking Technicians has posted yet another informative and compelling interview. In Season 3, Episode 7 , host Peter Kazarinoff interviewed Olga who works as a Research Assistant at Tenaya Therapeutics . Olga earned her AA at City College of San Francisco (CCSF) and remembers her hardest class as one in which she had to present information about her internship with both clarity and accuracy. But she also said it was great experience at the college, and it really helped her find a place in a career that fits her passion--to help people.... Read more

Podcasts can dive deeply into one field or jump around between many fields, and/or help highlight the intersections and contradictions between domains of interest. In this series of New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) podcasts, Dr. Lisa Rosenbaum takes a look at how medicine and healthcare interacts with patients-- the good, the bad, and the why? I listened to the first podcast in this series-- The Muffin Question . A funny name for a podcast about healthcare--so of course I had to see what it was about. In this podcast Host Rosenbaum interviews Dr.Shekinah Elmore about her insights... Read more

On October 5th, 2022 Genome Startup Day brought together front-line phage researchers and startup founders to talk about the state of phage research and some of its commercial opportunities.

STAT is a media company the delivers information you can trust about health, medicine, and and the life sciences. They investigate academic labs, visit biotech boardrooms, and even take a hard look at the politics that might go on in backrooms. And, like so many information sources, they make their information available through both digital methods and weekly biotech podcasts. I listened to one of their recent podcasts in the series The Readout Loud . This podcast covered anti-aging research boom, the Godfather of biotech (Stelios Papadopoulos) and the future of Biogen. There are... Read more

"It's not the demand we need to change, its the supply". Words spoken by Dr Bianca Le on the Future Food Podcast of July 16, 2021. Dr. Le was talking about meat, and how the environment can be supported, and animals' lives saved, if instead of investing in movements designed to stop people from eating meat, instead we invest in alternative sources of 'meat without the animal'. I had never thought about the issue in that way, but Dr. Le certainly has. She studied at the University of Monash, Australia and received her bachelor's and PhD there.... Read more

Not all of the episodes in the podcast series "How I Built This" are about biotech, but Episode 415 is, and it is fascinating! How to eat salmon, without catching fish? That is the question Wildtype cellular agriculture company founders Aryé Elfenbein and Justin Kolbeck are answering. When they first met in 2011 they had not planned on starting a company, Aryé was a cardiologist busy with medicine, and Justin was a diplomat who had lived all over the world. But something clicked, and soon the two were tackling the problems... Read more

Talking Biotech is a weekly podcast that uncovers the stories, ideas and research of people at the frontier of biology and engineering. Each episode explores how science and technology will transform agriculture, protect the environment, and feed 10 billion people by 2050. Interviews are led by Dr. Kevin Folta, professor of the horticultural sciences department at the University of Florida.

I was intrigued by the title of Episode 343: Breeding the Next Amazing Apple. This episode has Dr Folta interviewing Cornell researcher Dr. Awais Khan, an expert in apples. I love apples, and have picked... Read more

Well, I chose the Biotech and Breweries podcast series because I thought it would be about biotech in breweries...there are 6 InnovATEBIO member programs that have degrees or certificates in Brewing Science and Brewery Operations so I wanted to hear more about the role of biotech in beer. However, I found out that in fact this series is "Exploring San Diego's biotech landscape with a beer (or two) in hand". Not quite what I had in mind, but still great!

The first episode I listened to was "Viracta and Burgeon Brewing Company". Host Daniel Schroeder... Read more
