BigBiology

BigBiology A podcast covering the big ideas and topics in biology, hosted by biology professors and produced by Scientists talking to scientists, but accessible to anyone.

We are living in a golden age of biology research. Big Biology is a podcast that tells the stories of scientists tackling some of the biggest unanswered questions in biology. Your hosts, Marty Martin and Art Woods, talk to leading scientists from around the world about topics like why we drink alcohol, human consciousness and artificial intelligence, where diseases come from, and whether Godzilla

could actually exist. From each conversation, we produce a lightly edited version as a podcast episode. You can listen to the podcasts on our website, Spotify, iTunes or Google Play. For more information: https://linktr.ee/Big_Biology

💭How should we study complex biological networks? How do cells keep time and stay in sync? What does it mean for a network to be resilient?💭

🧬 In this episode, we talk with Rosemary Braun, Associate Professor at Northwestern University in the Department of Molecular Biosciences and a member of the NSF-Simons Center for Quantitative Biology.

⏳We talk with her about systems approaches to uncovering the “Rules of Life” and about circadian (daily) rhythms. She and her team use machine learning to understand emergent phenomena in networks, with the goal of helping medical professionals target treatments based on an individual patient’s circadian rhythm.

🎙️Learn more about Rosemary’s work in our most recent episode. Out Now!
