Hi, welcome to Science on Trial [and Error] - a podcast from a scientist to scientists. I’m Kasia Kuzmicz-Kowalska and I’m pursuing a PhD in Developmental Biology at IST Austria. The idea for this podcast was born out of my love for science and curiosity of people’s stories. Join me as I chat with researchers from different fields and at different levels of their careers. We will discuss their current work, but also their scientific path. Why have they started to love science? Where are they going next? I will look for some funny stories and for what is cool about science these days. And let’s be honest, it’s not all science and no play - outside-of-work activities and passions are definitely going to be covered. Allow yourself to be inspired and enjoy the company of my amazing guests. Music and sound: Lukasz Kowalski; Art: Laura Burnett

Episode 005 - Mateusz Sikora

Monday May 31, 2021

Episode 005: Mateusz Sikora (PhD) is a postdoc affiliated with Max Planck Institute for Biophysics in Frankfurt (Germany) and University of Vienna (Austria). In his current research Matt is using computational simulations to tackle the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 virus. We discuss how SARS-CoV-2 is playing hide-and-seek in our body and how we can use predictions to outsmart the virus. Matt shares how he went from being interested in dialects to studying biophysics (switching back and forth between theoretical and experimental work). We also talk about the collaborative science in times of pandemic and the 'tripod model' of work-life balance. Matt also reveals what an ideal model organism would be... Have fun listening!
