In this episode, Aldo talks to Egle Pauletto and Liam Sim, two Biochemistry students from the University of Aberdeen, who share their experiences interning at Genomes.io. They discuss their expectations, the importance of biochemistry, the relevance of data security in genomics, and the challenges of working in a startup environment. The conversation also touches on the future of genomics, public perception, and the ethical considerations surrounding genetic data. Takeaways Internships provide hands-on experience and learning opportunities. Biochemistry is defined as the chemistry of life. Data security is crucial in the field of genomics. Working in a startup requires patience and prioritization. The execution of ideas is more important than the ideas themselves. Genomics is rapidly evolving and gaining public interest. Misunderstandings about Web3 and genomics exist among the public. Blogging and content creation help educate the public about genomics. Understanding genetic differences is essential for data security. The future of genomics holds significant potential for growth.

The GENE

Our genes are everywhere!

It defines who we are and has the power to determine the outcome of many vital things in our lives.

Everything that is alive has a genome; a unique piece of code of over 100,000 genes that unlocks the door to an incredible treasure of information.

Whether it is a dog, a cat, a tree or a human being - we all possess this unique code and live our lives with it.

Many of us don’t realize it is there and know little about the power that it holds to inform the world more about your life.

We also don’t realize it has an incredible value both monetary as well as educational and many of us might be too careless or sloppy with this incredible piece of information.

Because your genome is the blueprint to who you are.

This podcast is for people who are fascinated with life.

In this series we will be talking to many experts, biologists, genomic scientists, medical doctors, technology builders, etc. who - just like us - want to understand life better.

We will soon launch the trailer and first episodes so stay tuned for more!
