TBFY In Conversation 21 - Sharing Genomes and More with Stephen Doyle

Stephen Doyle is a molecular and computational biologist who uses whole genome sequencing to study how parasites evolve resistance to drugs. He was also able to explain how genome sequencing works and just how powerful that technology and data can be, especially in the context of the ongoing coronavirus situation. You've heard of corona variants, well Stephen helps sort out what this means and how genomics is used to track these outbreaks. We also discussed the benefits of pre-print for the field of genomics and the importance of open science. Check out his twitter @stephen__doyle and his work at the Sanger Institute.

Bradley van Paridon

Brad was a scientist. He did a Ph.D studying mind controlling parasitic worms. Now he writes for magazines, produces podcasts and teaches scientists how to better communicate their work. His philosophy is that the science community can lighten up and speak like the normal people they are. Everyone can and should understand the knowledge scientists create because it is society's job to decide what to do with that information.
