This next episode of Under the Surface has us speaking to
crystallographer Eric Larson. In episode 7, as you’ll hear, Eric’s
a little nervous about having his thoughts committed to
‘perpetuity.’ But, as you’ll also hear, he does a great job. As
our first second
structural biologist on the show, he tells us about how he got into
the field, the very real logistical challenges of working in
industry, and his evocative description of what it feels like to
peek ‘behind the veil’ and be the first on the planet to observe
the structure of a previously unknown protein. It’s a magical
episode
