A casual conversational podcast about the non-scientific parts of life in the biotech industry, this show contains conversations about topics including career paths, side hustles, and whatever is going on in the field right now. Hosted by Maria Nattestad and Robert Aboukhalil, this show includes a mix of interviews with guests doing interesting things in this space, answering listener questions, and otherwise just talking about topics we think are interesting, all while avoiding the actual science as much as possible.
