lab notes podcast

the human stories behind scientific discovery
Behind every science headline is a human story — of curiosity, persistence, collaboration, and discovery. Lab Notes is the Allen Institute podcast that brings those stories to life.

From breakthroughs in neuroscience, cell biology, and immunology to the frontiers shaping the future of health, Lab Notes explores how science actually happens, and the people who make it possible.
