Questions About This Episode
What is A Poopologist Takes on Covid about?
The answer to stopping the spread of Covid could be in your poop. Computational biologist Mariana Matus helped start Biobot Analytics in 2017 to find the clues in wastewater to improve public health. Today her company is testing all that excrement to gauge where the virus is spreading *before* people start feeling symptoms. Governments are turning to Biobot's estimates to determine when it's safe to reopen. Mariana explains her science and tells us about her bilingual journey. Special thanks to Acast and our listeners for supporting us during this unpredictable time, and to Connor Button, our theme music creator.
