This week we host Dr. Sari Sabban (No relation to Ammar :D) a  molecular biologist and biotechnologist. Sari tells us how he got into science and the interesting journey on how he ended up as a molecular biology.

We discuss DNA, the human genome project, and protein folding. Then Sari proceeds to blow our minds with amazing biological facts: Gros Michel bananas, fecal transplantion, crowdsourcing technologies in science, anti-vaxxers, vitamin C and much more!

Corrections

 - Sari mentioned that Cavendish bananas got extinct. However he meant Gros Michel bananas which were completely wiped out from South America due to the Panama disease.

The LPQ is a three man geekcentric Podcast with great intentions, but absurdly poor taste. Residing for eternity where gamers go to die; The Low Priority Queue! New episode every Saturday!

Made up of a surgeon with a fanatic interest in fantasy, a voracious comic consuming paediatric heart specialist and a Sci-Fi obsessed strategy & management consultant these three will try and keep you entertained, educated and appalled in equal parts.  

You can find us on steam as "DogVinegar" and "TARS" respectively. Ahmed is a console peasant so his username will not be included here.

We've also gone to the trouble of putting together multiple playlists for you entirely composed of songs from across all of Geekdom.
