Our sister organization, the Molecular Programming Society, is organizing a "Decadal Flightplan Initiative", gathering researchers from across molecular programming in Seattle next week to sketch out what the next 10 years of the field could look like. They'll be thinking about what types of research should be done, what technology we need to develop, and also how we should work together as a community. Since not everybody can join in Seattle, they asked if we could convene an international panel to talk about how the field can work together and communicate across borders. Turns out it's not even possible to get everybody together in one call (thanks timezones), so we are trying something different: recording two panel discussions, and releasing them as podcasts so everybody has a chance to hear the discussion. The first panel is out now on all major podcast feeds, with the second coming in the next few days. A little something for all of you heading to Seattle to listen to on the plane!

Today's panel members:
* Emily Tsang (PhD candidate, Aarhus University)
* Quentin Laurent (Postdoc, University Grenoble-Alpes)
* Ibuki Kawamata (Associate Professor, Kyoto University)
* Masahiro Takinoue (Professor, Institute of Science-Tokyo)
