49:16

Send us a text In episode 24, Katarzyna talks about the everyday concerns and common threads of an editor's job, from continuously learning about the rapid developments in the field to navigating the review process. She shares some inside stories about the experimental features that journals tinker with these days, and it's good to know that many interesting ideas are being tested out there in the wild. We then discuss a bit about the evolution of the publishing process, including its perception among us research scientists. We largely leave the questions of profits and finance out of the conversation, so this is purely a conversation between two science aficionados who care deeply about the scientific enterprise being transparent, just, open to novelty and focused on quality evidence.…

48:58

Send us a text In episode 22, we start by talking about the 2022 review of enhanced sampling methods that Lucie co-authored, one that provides long-needed organizing principles and unifying vocabulary for applications in this field. We also outline some challenges and community needs still waiting for the bold souls out there looking for ambitious projects. Lucie then moves on to share her experience with alternative publishing models, both as a member of Biophysics Colab and a former editor of eLife, and we dwell a bit on the challenges and possible solutions to what some would call a crisis in publishing, where evaluation metrics and publishing companies created unsustainable or even counterproductive incentive structures in sharing scientific results. We end on personal notes: already last year when I was visiting her lab in Stockholm, Lucie agreed to be on the very first list of interviewees, but it took me so long to figure it out that eventually Lucie gave birth to her twins and went on a maternal leave, so now that she's back more than a year later, I also asked her to share a few reflections on becoming a parent in academia.…

44:49

Send us a text In episode 21, Tamar first explains how her unique background impacted the way she approached and conceptualized problems in biology, and how her research projects were born in the first place. We talk about the more recent research coming from Tamar's group on frameshifting, a fascinating process by which the readout of the genetic code can be offset by one or two letters to produce multiple proteins from a single viral gene. We then move on to discuss whether it's algorithms or compute that have contributed more to the growth of computational biophysics. Tamar's textbook and the multiple perspective articles she's written over the years serve us to dwell on the importance of writing for clarity and interdisciplinary collaboration. We end on a people-centric note, talking about the social bonds involved in both running and experimental collaborations.…

Episode 19 - Alex MacKerell: Simple physics, missing experimental data, and model compatibility 26:14

26:14

Send us a text In episode 19, Alex and I discuss the history and future of developments in the CHARMM family of force fields, and whether Alex believes there is more physics that we need to include in our classical energy functions to work around our current challenges in biomolecular modeling. Throughout the conversation, he's advocated for a pragmatic, down-to-earth approach, with the idea of "big molecules, small physics". Alex also highlights the need to augment AI tools with HI, or human intelligence, arguing that so far most attempts at automating model development too much end up with parameters that are unphysical and non-transferable. Yet another interesting point is our often surprising reliance on truly ancient experimental data, and we try to make a point that these very non-sexy physical chemistry measurements straight from the 60s and 70s could truly advance the field if anyone was willing to fund them and actually get them done.…

Send us a text In episode seventeen, Caroline Lynn Kamerlin talks about the art of asking bold and impactful scientific questions, as well as how to engage in truly interdisciplinary research, something she sees as a consequence of her formal background in natural philosophy. We talk about the emerging concepts around enzyme promiscuity, how this view has steadily become accepted in the field, and how it affects not only research but also human lives. That leads us to consider the ever-emerging problem of bacterial resistance and public health, and since public health is just two steps away from science education, we do venture there too.…
