Description

Joseph Swift is a postdoctoral researcher in Professor Joseph Ecker's lab at Salk, but has recently launched his own start-up called CropDiagnostix. Inspired by his parents, Swift has always embraced “crazy” choices—leading him to leave Australia to study plant genomics in New York City then San Diego. In this episode, you’ll hear about everything from the microscopic similarities between plants and humans, to what it’s like road-tripping with a car full of potatoes.
