We all know the drill 🔬🚨 But have you ever wondered why the mitochondria is such an important organelle? @joseph_mcgaunn @bleushift12 and Maia walk us through in our latest open.spotify.com/episode/1fF…
Our very own @joseph_mcgaunn co-wrote the perspective section on this new study, and he spoke with @kweintraub with USA Today about the study! The biggest takeaway? Balancing excitement with caution and diligence. shorturl.at/chJSZ
Food science is one of the most interdisciplinary fields out there, yet few people know what it entails. 💭 @bleushift12 @nldido and Maia spoke with @UMassAmherst PhD candidate Christina Allinghan! They discussed her career trajectory, norovirus research and more! 🥑🍨🍝🥗
New episode alert! 🎧 Sarah, @joseph_mcgaunn and @nldido spoke with PhD candidate Margaret Downs about her work with mass spectrometry - a tool that allows scientists to identify proteins and avenues for cancer treatment. Tune in: spoti.fi/405fkOC
Happy #piDay2023! To celebrate, we interviewed assistant professor of mathematics Youngmin Park about what Pi is, why it’s important, and how it factors into his research. 🤔💭The team is super pumped for our first minisode! Give it a listen spoti.fi/3LjK1Lp 🎧
On the latest Interactome episode, @joseph_mcgaunn, @lauren_kageler and Pickle talk science stories! Joe and Lauren dive into history, and Pickle talks about the computer science equivalent to the “my dog ate my homework.” 💻😰

@KagelerLauren talks about her research, the great outdoors, and the science community! Check out the thread 🧵
❓Why did you join The Interactome?
I joined the Interactome because it is a group of people who share my passion for sharing science with the general public in a manner that is understandable and digestible. I want people to be as excited about research as I am.
❓What is something that challenged you in the science field but you ultimately learned from it?
Failure. Working in research sets you up for a lot of failure. And being faced with failure in my science experiments on an almost daily basis has taught me to persevere.
❓Why did you pursue science research?
I have always been drawn to science from a young age because I loved learning about how everything from the human body to the atmosphere works. I have continued in a scientific field because as I learn more I become increasingly curious.
