Join me on Cosmic Radio as we speak with NASA's Johnson Space microbiologist Dr. Sarah Castro Wallace. Dr. Wallace evaluates the performance of the MinION DNA sequencer in-flight on the International Space Station (ISS). She and her team are in charge of the environmental monitoring of the ISS. Dr. Wallace's passion for her work is evident in this interview. She makes microbiology and DNA sequencing in space sound more fun than a spacewalk!
