Description

This week, we’re taking a closer look at the code that runs our computers, and permeates so much of our lives. Desiree Schell talks to Stephen Gold, Vice President of Watson Solutions at IBM Software Group, about new healthcare applications for cognitive computing technology. Guest host Rachelle Saunders talks to Sergei Maslov, a researcher in computational biology at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, to learn about the similarities between computer code and genetic information. And we’re joined by software professional Mark Bennett, to discuss his passion for programming, and coding as a career or as a hobby.
