A Billion Oil Tankers and a Slice of Cheese (with Claes Gustafsson)
About this podcast
It's vital that we make progress in biology. Yet today, understanding complex living systems is hard.
But does it have to be?
We're Markus and Phil, a biologist and a statistician.
We created this podcast for anyone who believes that there might be a better way. Together, we'll discuss the best experiments to cut through biological complexity.
Join us to explore the shape of the next experiment.
