S2.03: Celebrating Margaret Dayhoff Mother of Bioinformatics with Dr. Antonio Lazcano

In this special episode, we celebrate the 100 years of life and legacy of Dr. Margaret Dayhoff, a visionary scientist born in 1925 who is widely recognized as the mother of bioinformatics.

Her pioneering work, including the groundbreaking Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure in the 1960s, laid the foundation for how we study molecular biology today.

To help us honor her contributions, we're joined by Dr. Antonio Lazcano, world-renowned researcher and professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Dr. Antonio Lazcano is a leading expert on the origin of life and a passionate historian of science.

Tune in as we reflect on how Margaret Dayhoff's legacy continues to shape the world of bioinformatics and why her story still inspires scientists around the globe.
