Episode 28: When You Yeast Expect It

If you’re prone to giggling about the human body, prepare yourself. Today’s guest is Dr. Amy Karlsson, Assistant Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Maryland. (Go Terps!)

Learn about her work in protein engineering as we delve into the world of e. coli and yeast. Oh, and be sure to stick around for the best (worst?) pizza story ever.

We should note that since this is, you know, a science podcast we actually talk about science-y things like human anatomy. So consider yourself warned that in this episode we discuss human genitalia and why it shouldn’t be taboo to talk about it.
