Insight to Impact, Ep. 4: Keene Abbott

Season 4 features stories about graduate students whose fundamental research in biology is poised to have an impact on society. In this episode, we’ll hear from Keene Abbott. He’s a cancer researcher, but the way he goes about it might feel counterintuitive at first glance. In order to find new ways to fight the disease, Keene studies what makes cancer cells feel more at home in the lab. Produced by Eva Frederick and Raleigh McElvery.

Breaking the Mold, Ep. 3: Cesar Dominguez

Season 3 features stories of breaking the mold. In our third and final episode, we’ll meet Cesar Dominguez. His family emigrated from Mexico to the U.S. at a young age. Growing up in a relatively homogenous community led him to seek out more diverse perspectives as he honed his research skills in structural biology. He now studies how cells can withstand and transmit mechanical force. Produced by Raleigh McElvery and Conor Gearin.

Breaking the Mold, Ep. 2: Thy Pham

Season 3 features stories of breaking the mold. In our second episode, we’ll meet Thy Pham, a fifth-year graduate student in the Bartel lab. After moving to the U.S. from Vietnam at age 20, she learned English while delving into biophysics and computer science courses, opening a door to a career that she hadn’t realized was available to her. At Whitehead Institute, she’s applying artificial intelligence to predict how cells fine tune gene expression using short sequences of RNA called microRNAs.

Breaking the Mold, Ep. 1: Yamilex Acevedo-Sánchez

Season 3 features stories of breaking the mold. In our first episode, we’ll meet Yamilex Acevedo-Sánchez, a third-year graduate student in the Lamason lab. Her first exposure to science was through TV. But she’s since learned that the media often showcases a narrow swath of the faces behind the discoveries. Now a scientist herself, she’s seen firsthand the diversity of disciplines and brainpower that fuels the research community. Her own research project explores how deleterious pathogens sneak from one cell to the next, spurring infection. Produced by Raleigh McElvery and Conor Gearin.
