[The Bioinformatics and Beyond Podcast @BioInfoPod]

This week I want to reflect on the incredible series of eps just released. Huge thanks again to leading #SpaceBiology researchers @WillianAbraham, @tejaswini and @AfshinBeheshti for helping me put together this rich, educational resource on state-of-the-art #SpaceOmics research.

Congrats to you all! It was great work and the outcome is well deserved.

[Tomer Altman @tomeraltman]

Very excited to share that our Serratus paper has *finally* been published!

It's been a long road, and I'm grateful for the experience working with a world-class team of bioinformaticists to make this happen. :-)

[The Bioinformatics and Beyond Podcast @BioInfoPod]

Hi all. I'm afraid at this time I plan to take a break from releasing eps on a regular basis. I already had eps planned for scicomm, Bayes' Theorem, grad school, STEM diversity, and sequencing history which I'll still *try* to trickle out.Thanks a million for the support up2now❤️

In this week's ep, @siegel_justin explains his motivation to engineer enzymes to perform functions that help humanity. We learn about his recent study which massively scaled up mutant enzyme design, allowing the application of ML. Find it now, or visit https://t.co/QZvKMX0qaw

[The Bioinformatics and Beyond Podcast @BioInfoPod]

This week, learn about the past, present, and future of wet lab work in the context of automation. @siegel_justin explains how automation and cloud labs could be a total game changer for this type of work. Find the new ep now or just click https://t.co/iaV6opqdlc to listen.

This week concludes our #SpaceBiology & #SpaceOmics series with @AfshinBeheshti. Dr. Beheshti reviews the many biological hazards of spaceflight, explaining the underlying molecular features, and discussing the future of #SpaceBiology research. Listen now: https://t.co/8aRlWrWTCJ

[The Bioinformatics and Beyond Podcast @BioInfoPod]

This week we revisit wearables for monitoring COVID-19 and for the future of human health. @tejaswini discusses her @natBME work that showed COVID-19 infections can be detected and even predicted before symptoms arise in enrolled participants. Listen now: https://t.co/hb1obr2FWJ

[The Bioinformatics and Beyond Podcast @BioInfoPod]

@broadinstitute @agladdenyoung Wow. Powerful. Thank you all for sharing your stories and helping to educate and motivate the rest of us on ways we might be able to help out (like providing mentorship to those in need).

[The Bioinformatics and Beyond Podcast @BioInfoPod]

This week continues our #SpaceBiology & #SpaceOmics series w/ @Stanford scientist @tejaswini. Dr. Mishra discusses her work as co-first author of the @NASA Twins Study, a cornerstone piece of #SpaceBiology research. Hear her explain this important work at https://t.co/h71tGKLkJO

[The Bioinformatics and Beyond Podcast @BioInfoPod]

Special episode this week dedicated to folks working on the “wet” (bench work) side of the life sciences who are interested in doing more “dry” (computational) work. @WillianAbraham explains his own transition & answers many common questions. Listen now at https://t.co/BeXZBBGKrU

[The Bioinformatics and Beyond Podcast @BioInfoPod]

This week begins a series of #SpaceBiology and #SpaceOmics guests. We begin with @QUBelfast researcher @WillianAbraham discussing his work with @NASAGeneLab to understand the impact of spaceflight, which recently appeared in @CellCellPress. Listen now at https://t.co/sNpxViCiVP

[The Bioinformatics and Beyond Podcast @BioInfoPod]

This week we finish our discussion with @haydenmetsky on the computational design of diagnostics, discussing his exciting new software method ADAPT. ADAPT automates and optimizes the design of CRISPR-based viral testing. Find the ep now, or simply click https://t.co/1tVYumbFfj

[The Bioinformatics and Beyond Podcast @BioInfoPod]

@Mohammed1imam Thank you so much for this awesome write up and for the kind words! Yes, all the credit definitely goes to Dr. Weinberger for the incredible work he is doing and the superb explanations he gave for the podcast. I'm glad you enjoyed how his episodes turned out as much as I did. :)

[The Bioinformatics and Beyond Podcast @BioInfoPod]

This week, @broadinstitute scientist @haydenmetsky introduces his vision for fully harnessing genomics in humanity's battle against infectious diseases. He explains new advances like CRISPR-based diagnostics and his @NatureBiotech work "CATCH". Listen now: https://t.co/L21Vzx1yx1

[The Bioinformatics and Beyond Podcast @BioInfoPod]

In this week's ep, we finish our #synbio convo with @thegassymicrobe and @MilleniemFulkon. We focus on #synbio applications, like how #synbio can help elucidate quorum sensing, HGT, and cryptic processes. To listen, or find links to this ep, simply click https://t.co/JGwXcKTh6N

[The Bioinformatics and Beyond Podcast @BioInfoPod]

For many various reasons I have decided to release new episodes every other week instead of every week for the foreseeable future. See you next week for #SynBio round 2 (applications). Then, CRISPR-based diagnostics and #SpaceOmics up next!

[The Bioinformatics and Beyond Podcast @BioInfoPod]

Excited to share a synthetic biology episode this week! My guests @thegassymicrobe and @MilleniemFulkon did a GREAT job explaining several core, introductory concepts in synbio like biosensors, circuit diagrams, and reporters. Find it now or just click https://t.co/rOFTQADeDS

In lieu of a new @BioInfoPod ep this week, I thought I'd shout out my personal favorite biological sciences podcast. Currently it'd be @DanielGriffinMD's incredible COVID-19 clinical update series (released weekly on #TWiV). IMO it's the single best source of COVID info out there
