Welcome to the Performance Around the Clock podcast. In this episode, Dr. Satchin Panda welcomes one of his scientific heroes, Dr. Susan Golden. Dr. Golden is a pillar in the circadian and cyanobacteria science community and the former director for the Center for Circadian Biology at UC San Diego. She shares her journey from studying gene regulation in cyanobacteria to understanding the circadian clock through this unique organism. Learn how these ancient blue-green algae were instrumental in the oxygenation of Earth's atmosphere and how tools developed to study cyanobacteria led to groundbreaking discoveries. Beyond her research, Dr. Golden also made significant contributions to circadian rhythm education, teaching countless undergraduate students over the years.
