Yesterday was International Podcast Day, and boy do I wish I had an episode tucked up my sleeve for all of you. Perhaps I’ll keep one in reserve for the 2016 International Podcast day, but this year all I can offer is a description of what I envision for Sequencing History, and an update on the progress being made towards releasing the first episode. All of this information will also be included in the About the Podcast page.
What’s Sequencing History going to be about?
I expect the scope of Sequencing History to grow and change over time, so take what’s written here with a grain of salt. I’m intending that the podcast be one part popular science, and one part history. I plan to explore some of the dramatic events and stories that have occurred in the history of the the life sciences, with an eye towards presenting these unfamiliar stories to an intelligent audience (that’s you!). You won’t need any special background in either history or biology to understand and appreciate these tales.
