thunderbird six show

Summary: Marc Pelletier of Futures in Biotech from the twit.tv network joined Dave over skype. Marc and Dave started off by talking a little bit about hockey, they are Canadian after all, and then moved on into Marc's career as a graduate student at McGill and now his position as a postdoc in the Physiology Department at some school called Yale... Marc is doing bleeding edge biotech research at Yale and he and his colleagues will one day allow us all to live to be a thousand. OK, I made that part up. That said, biotech is moving so fast that you never know what is coming around the corner. Not only is Marc a top notch scientist, he is also the host of the twit.tv podcast Futures in Biotech with the legendary Leo Laporte. Each week Marc and Leo interview different scientists in biotech and allied fields. From the twit.tv website: "Explore the world of genetics, cloning, protein folding, genome mapping, and more with the most important researchers in biotech" Thanks a lot Marc, that rocked. Music in this episode "You Don't Need an iPod" by Uncle Seth and "Toys on a Shelf" by A Step Beyond.
