This includes using all sorts of fancy techniques that I don’t understand: crystallography, electron microscopy, and small-angle x-ray scattering. After cutting his teeth on eukaryotes, he joined the dark side (microbiology) focusing on tuberculosis and other infectious diseases. His lab continues to push the field of structural biology forward into new and exciting areas, while also developing innovative new genetic techniques like a mobile CRISPR-Cas system that can be used to study diverse pathogenic and commensal ba...2020-08-092h 06Science is Fun!A legend of cancer biologyMy guest this week is Zena Werb, whose research has had a profound impact on our understanding of development, cancer, and the epithelial microenvironment. Her publication list is truly inspiring with >500 papers and counting, including multiple seminal manuscripts. Despite this rich history, I was struck by how deeply involved she still was in her active projects and her infectious passion for scientific discovery. Many senior faculty go the administrative route, spending more and more time leading large projects and campus initiatives. In contrast, Zena proves that it is possible to stay focused on the science and that there’s al...2020-08-021h 57Science is Fun!COVID-19, video games, and immunityWelcome to Science is Fun!

Meet the MicrobiologistMTS43 - Rob Knight - The Microbes That Inhabit UsIn this episode, I speak to Rob Knight, an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
Knight studies our inner ecology: the 100 trillion microbes that grow in and on our bodies. Knight explained how hundreds of species can coexist on the palm of your hand, how bacteria manipulate your immune system and maybe even your brain, and how obesity and other health problems may come down to the wrong balance of microbes.
