    558 | How do we think about cells? There isn't one right way

    Doing science is never about a single approach. Join hosts Bruno Mesquita and Rafaela Platkin as they chat with guest Camdyn Holmes, a MSc student in Biochemistry whose research compares two different approaches in examining what makes us human. Most people know that our DNA is an important part of who we are, but not all genes are active everywhere in our body. How do scientists study and measure the different ways our genes express throughout our cells?   Recorded on Friday, June 9, 2026 Produced by Milan Mammen and Zoe Kallenekos Theme song provided by FreeBeats.io (Produced by WhiteHot)
