Episode notes

The show notes will include some hatsh tags and some articles that doctor ackerman recommends. The science community needs to bridge this divide and seek out voices of disabled individuals themselves, not their families,. If we don't have this very personal conversation now, she says, it will soon be too late. She also sent a few great articles on identity and linkthen on my web site at alleyward dot com, sachology slash systems biology.

Biological mysteries solved with numbers! Graphs! Patterns! Data points! Systems biology! You never knew it existed, yet it’s keeping us alive. Systems Biologist Dr. Emily E. Ackerman join to chat about why the field appealed to her, how her work shifted during the pandemic, why she wants to scream at Excel sometimes, how computing might replace specific types of animal testing, accessibility in STEM, the immune system, why she loves being a disabled scientist and advocate, the ethics of CRISPR, and some really nice guy named Doug.
