Episode notes

The education component of it was almost like best practices for research education. We have plenty of researchers who have brilliant ideas, but their tool that they're most comfortable with is Excel and they just can't actually follow through and execute on their question. So we were trying to also encourage and teach people the researchers to say, how about you adopt these methods in your context?

In this episode, Jon is joined by Byron Ruth, Director of Developer Relations at Synadia, a software company focused on cloud-native messaging and data streaming platforms to enable the next generation of connected digital experiences. With over ten years of experience in engineering, he is focused on building systems and tools to facilitate developer interaction.

They explore the challenges and innovations in developer education, the definition of Informatics, and the challenge of teaching researchers who may need to gain expertise in informatics. They also discuss the shifts to the role of AI and machine learning in healthcare, the development of Nats, and the potential of using Nats by example as a tool for generating documentation and developer education resources.
