Episode notes

Hey Science Nerds! We're excited to announce Dr. Hynes as the guest on our newest episode of MURSA Podcasts. As an assistant professor and a member of the Canadian Society of Microbiologists, Dr. Hynes focuses his research on bacteriophages and their interactions with other microbes. His lab aims to identify, characterize, and manipulate phages until - in Dr. Hynes’ words - he can fully understand them. Join us on this podcast, where we explore the history of phages, delve into anti-CRISPR research, uncover the directions that phage research is heading toward today, and explore the role of undergraduate students in his lab.
