Michael Baym is a Research Fellow in Systems Biology at the Kishony Lab in Harvard Medical School, and he joins us to talk about the evolution and drug-resistance of bacteria. His research involves using combinations of antibiotics to force and possibly control behaviors of bacteria. With his background in mathematics, Baym is able to employ algorithms to gain insight from this research. http://kishony.med.harvard.edu/
