NEB_podcast_icon_White The NEB podcast series, Lessons from Lab & Life, is dedicated to sharing helpful life lessons from successful scientists. From an overview of cutting edge research to finding sources of inspiration, our podcasts can be enjoyed by science enthusiasts that like to ponder “what it all means”. Listen as leading researchers draw lessons from where scientific concepts (and misconceptions) have come from, where they are now, and where they are headed in the not-too-distant future. If you’ve got 20 minutes, we’ve got a story that just might interest you..

Posted: Wednesday, March 7, 2018

Duration: 21:58 min

Featuring: Becky Kucera, Principal Development Scientist of Applications & Product Development, New England Biolabs, Inc. & Lydia Morrison, NEB Technical Writer and Podcast Host

Becky Kucera has been an active member of the scientific community at NEB for over 30 years.

Interview with Angela Belcher: Seeking Inspiration for Innovative Science

Listen Now

Posted: Wednesday, March 7, 2018

Duration: 22:42 min

Featuring: Angela Belcher, James Mason Crafts Professor of Biological Engineering and Materials Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts & Chris Noren, recently retired Scientific Director of Chemical Biology Research, New England Biolabs, Inc

Angela Belcher’s innovative science has found its inspiration in some pretty unlikely places, such as the pages of the NEB catalog and the exoskeletons of sea creatures. She has always been driven to discover, but it is her ability to find inspired biological solutions to limitations in current technologies that make her science so successful.
