Episode notes
Dr. Vega Shah was was like a gold miner during her undergraduate and graduate school studies, except instead of panning for gold, she was searching the metagenomes of ocean samples for new life and new metabolic functions. What she found was a new species of ocean bacteria, but she also realized that the software tools she relied on and the databases she used to answer her research questions were anything but solid. After grad school, she shifted her career to building software for biologists at Dotmatics, integrating tools such as Prism into electronic lab notebooks. Today she’s a program manager at Benchling working to integrate new functions and communicate these resources to scientists everywhere. It's a thoughtful conversation you won't want to miss.
