From Bench to Podcast: Marcus Walker

On our very first episode of the new podcast series from Nature Biotechnology, our Associate Editor Cláudia Vilhena interviews Marcus Walker, first author of a fantastic story on engineered bacteria used to stain textiles.

With an informal and honest touch, Marcus and Cláudia dive into the behind the scenes of the paper. From the inspiration to combine microbiology and fashion, passing by what went wrong at the bench, all the way to the economical and environmental implications of living biomaterials.

For all those who struggle with measuring optical density, this episode is for you!
