di Arkadiy Garber

This podcasts features readings of open-access (CC BY) primary research articles and reviews relevant to evolutionary and cell biology, environmental and clinical microbiology, symbiosis, geobiology, and bioinformatics. I avoid Methods sections, and sometimes Results (depending on how amenable it is to reading out loud). Abstract, Introduction, Discussion, and Conclusions are always included.
