Science is Fun!

My guest this week is Dr. Rachel Dutton from UCSD who is recognized in both scientific and culinary circles for her ingenious use of cheese rinds as a model system to study microbial ecology. Learn more about what inspired her to take up this line of research and what they have learned so far.

My guest this week is Dr. Gerry Wright, a Professor at McMaster who is renowned for his efforts to understand and combat antibiotic resistance in pathogenic microbes. This interview is especially timely given the ongoing pandemic and the need to invest more heavily in infectious disease research.
