Harold Varmus on Science Friday

There was a very interesting interview on Science Friday last week.  The discussion was with Harold Varmus (see Science Friday Archives: Harold Varmus).
In the interview, Varmus discussed his new book, his role as an advisor to Obama, and some issues relating to Open Access.  I found his comments to be very interesting and insightful and it is worth listening to.

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
