Futures in Biotech 15: The SuperNet

Hosts: Marc Pelletier and Leo Laporte Guest: Dr. Larry Smarr, the Director of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (CalIT2) Dr. Smarr has made enormous contributions to both supercomputing and the internet as we know it today. As you will find out, he could just as comfortably been a guest on any of the other TWiT netcasts including, Windows OR MacBreak Weekly, the Tech Guy, or even FLOSS Weekly, or even PixelCorps' This Week in Media. Dr. Ed Delong -- our guest from FiB - episode 9 -- suggested to us that he would be an excellent guest for his contributions to the cyberinfrastructure that is enabling the emerging field of metagenomics. Well, our discussion with Dr. Smarr goes far beyond metagenomics and biotech... Thanks to Cachefly for providing the bandwidth for this netcast. Also thanks to Philippe Pelletier and Will Hall for the great opening and closing themes AND Matthew McInerney for the cool new FiB Desktops
