I recently appeared on an episode of the Fourcast Podcast. Fourcast is hosted by Tom Merrit and Scott Johnson.

Scott Johnson, author of the Extra Life and Experience Points comics, and host of The Instance, Extra Life Radio and AppSlappy podcasts joins Tom Merritt of CNET TV, Sword and Laser and East Meets West podcasts to predict the future. They're a little lazy, so they bring on two guests every episode and make them do the work. (I stole that bit off the page for the show...)

I recently appeared on an episode with Dan Trachtenberg of the Totally Rad Show which appears on Revision 3.

Be calm, relax, it is ok, we start slowly….

Music “Still Alive� GlaDOS and Jonathan Coulton

Marc Pelletier of Futures in Biotech asked me to host this episode along with him as this was another cool neuroscience episode. We interviewed Dr. Terrence Sejnowski of the Salk Institute.

I hope you enjoy this episode. Back to the lecturecasts next week...

I think this officially makes me a TWiT. I recently co hosted Futures in Biotech with Marc Pelletier where we talked to John Gabrieli of MIT. I hope you enjoy it.

Listen Now

I recorded this episode with four really smart guys. Futures in Biotech is a TWiT.tv podcast (which you have likely heard of, and if not, check out their stuff). hosted by Marc Pelletier. The show featured Vincent Racaniello, Andre Nantel, Justin Sanchez and yours truly talking about science that will change the world. I really appreciate Marc having asked me to be on the show, and I must say it was a total blast. I even got to do the audible ad!
I recently recorded episode 44 of FIB with Marc and will post it when Marc does.

Oh, if you would like to hear an interview with Dr. Pelletier check out this clip from thunderbird six. Perhaps we can even get Marc on Tangential Convergence sometime….
Listen Now to FIB 43
