Natural Prodcast
Natural Prodcast is a podcast about natural products and the science and scientists of secondary metabolism. Natural products, secondary metabolites, specialized metabolites -- whatever you want to call them, they're the chemicals that make species unique and different from one another, and are incredibly important to medicine, the environment, and human health. Hosts Dan Udwary and Jackie Winter introduce concepts in this exciting field, and talk to the fascinating scientists who work in it. This series brought to you by the US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute.

Natural Prodcast Ep 18 - A CSP Primer
It's a crossover episode! Menaka Wilhelm, from JGI's Genome Insider, and I talk about how to work with the JGI, specifically in the form of the Community Science Program, or CSP. We talked to Deputy of User Programs, Tanja Woyke and Project Manager Miranda Harmon-Smith about all the details of what makes a good CSP, how to apply for one, and what happens once it starts.
