Joe Derisi and Open Science featured on Voice of America

Well, I already gave him one of my awards, so what else could he do?  Anyway, always good to see Open Science getting promoted and nice to see Voice of America running a story on Joe Derisi after his Heinz Award and featuring this openness (listen to an MP3 of the radio story here).  And they even interviewed me because of my blog about him.  Blogs and the “real” news merge closer and closer every day.

I am an evolutionary biologist and a Professor at U. C. Davis. (see my lab site here). My research focuses on the origin of novelty (how new processes and functions originate). To study this I focus on sequencing and analyzing genomes of organisms, especially microbes and using phylogenomic analysis
