Guest:
Dr. Austin Smith from Cambridge UK is on the show to discuss his take on the world of all things pluripotency. We talk about his views on the ground state of pluripotency and how he attempted to drill down into the essential components of the pluripotency network using computer modeling.

Great show guys! I’m listening every week and it really helps with staying current. A few suggestions:
1. Keep up the relaxed feel. I love the “hey man what’s up” approach. Really fun.
2. Play around a little more with the sound quality from your skyped in audio, there has been some distortion.
3. I vote for no more dinasours and no more black holes. I think that articles that at least have something to do with any cells would be a good guide. You are the stem cell podcast after all!
Thanks for the awesome show, I am a huge fan.
Cheers
David
