Ah hA - Eureka!
Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 05:19PM It looks like that we need to produce Standard Definition (Widescreen), otherwise the CPU goes wonky. At standard definition, we should be able to get clean audio, video, and streaming to Ustream.tv for live broadcasting.
So moving forward, we will do everything in SD format, which will preserve the audio quality. Once I can upgrade my production computer, we can move to HD.
Thanks for your patience. Next Epidode --> March 4th.
*** apologies, work (day job) has required 100% attention — new FiBs soon ***

FiB96 - Biotech Stories, Pilot Episode
Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 08:34PM
Hosts: Marc Pelletier, Vincent Racaniello, George Farr, Paul McGuirk, and Jasen Buch.
We had difficulty with audio clipping. While trying to stream live on Ustream.tv, the CPU was taxed over 98%. At about 55 min into the podcast, I canceled the Ustream live and the audio improved quite a bit.
Moving forward, we will probably not stream it live until I can get a faster CPU.
Thank you for your patience.
Sincerely,
Marc

Moving to Microbe.TV FEBRUARY 19th 2013!!!
Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 01:28PM Hi Folks,
Starting on FEBRUARY 19th, 2013, we are moving to Microbe.TV! We will be joining Vincent Racanniello and his team of podcasters from TWiV, TWiM, and TWiP!
Live broadcasts with world leading scientists will be scheduled for the 1nd and 3th Tuesday of the month, at 4:30 pm Eastern. I have embeded our Ustream channel to the right, so you can view the live broadcast directly from this website. We will also include it on Microbe.TV.
Video and audio will also posted for download here, on iTunes and Youtube.
Thanks for your patience in all this, and I hope we can get to the best cutting edge science available today.

FiB 93: Snyder's Omics
Sunday, April 8, 2012 at 09:17PM Host: Marc Pelletier
Co-Host: Andre Nantel, Ph.D.
Our guest published a historic paper less than one month ago (available here), describing the first comprehensive study of an individual, combining genomic (genome sequence), transcriptomic (genes turned on/off), proteomic (the total complement of proteins - or protein profiles), metabolomic (complete metabolic analysis), and autoantibody profiles. The study was conducted over 14 months through healthy and diseased states, over 3 billion measurements on a single individual over 20 time points. This experiment is an important step toward ushering in the era of personalized medicine.
