ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In this episode, I speak with Prof. Liam Holt. Liam is an assistant professor in the department of biochemistry and molecular pharmacology at NYU. Here are a few interesting ideas we touched on:

-why the inside of a cell and NYC have more in common than you think

-the role of 'modules' in driving evolution

-how being a worse drawer can help you make more instructive illustrations
