Blue GENES and Boots
The Blue Genes & Boots Podcast features Genetics & Genomics graduate students hashing it out with people from all sides of the genetics world! We often feature graduate students and professors who are doing great work right here at Texas A&M, but we’ve had all kinds of people on the show, like philanthropists, undergrads, science communicators. Above all, Blue Genes and Boots aims to show the audience how science moves at every step, from teaching, to learning, to research, to spreading the word! (…And that’s us. We’re spreading the word.)
