"The Long Run"
Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton would appreciate today's biotech. Scientific entrepreneurs of the 21st century must be ready for what Shackleton called the “hazardous journey, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful, honor and recognition in case of success.” Today, the men and women who strive to apply science for the betterment of human health have a historic opportunity. They need stamina and resilience to achieve something meaningful. Biotech’s relationship with the society that sustains it has never been more tenuous.
Join host Luke Timmerman for in-depth, thought-provoking conversations with biotech newsmakers pursuing these great opportunities of the 21st century.

Loved the last 2 episodes!
Discussions around gene regulation with Rick Young and finding your purpose with Robert Ang really stood out to me. Thanks for sharing such great stories.
A treat while social distancing
During these unusual times, I have found the human stories behind the long run and the great people in our industry a wonderful treat. I listen while walking the hills of SF and feel connected to our community even when we are apart. Thanks Luke. Keep up the awesome work focused on people.
Great Podcast
I am someone that is not in the bio tech world, but find it absolutely fascinating. Luke has a great ability as an interviewer to ask questions that makes complex bio tech topics, understandable and not condescending to people are not immersed in the bio tech world.
