In episode 21, Tamar first explains how her unique background impacted the way she approached and conceptualized problems in biology, and how her research projects were born in the first place. We talk about the more recent research coming from Tamar's group on frameshifting, a fascinating process by which the readout of the genetic code can be offset by one or two letters to produce multiple proteins from a single viral gene. We then move on to discuss whether it's algorithms or compute that have contributed more to the growth of computational biophysics. Tamar's textbook and the multiple perspective articles she's written over the years serve us to dwell on the importance of writing for clarity and interdisciplinary collaboration. We end on a people-centric note, talking about the social bonds involved in both running and experimental collaborations.
