In the first episode of the new year we talk to Oded Rechavi about his unusual way of doing science and new ways of sharing science.

• He tells us about his meandering path from painting in Paris to studying epigenetics in worms
• Oded repeatedly highlights the importance of not over-planning one’s career or path in science 
• He stresses that it’s important to keep encountering new ideas, testing and failing and reacting with spontaneity. Like Maria-Elena told us, he says “sometimes you have to just go for it” 
• He advises young scientists not to wait until you are completely ready but to apply for new jobs as early as you can
• Oded has a deep commitment to challenging established dogmas
• He tells us about why he spends so much time on Twitter and his use of the #physiologicallyrelevant hashtag
• Oded tells us about the origins of the unusual “Woodstock of Biology” meeting

He mentions these labs and events :

• Tel Aviv University
• Columbia University
• The Woodstock of Biology
• “Transgenerational biology” Oded’s talk at TEDx
