Description
We discuss Basem's recent preprint, Borgs are giant extrachromosomal elements with the potential to augment methane oxidation. In our conversation, we discuss Basem's scientific career, the story of Borgs, how they were named, and their impact on our environment. A favorite quote of mine from talking to Basem was: "the next great discovery could be right in your backyard."
