Science TLDR

Science EN ↓ 80 episodes

Ten-minute paper summaries for scientists and experts. Two episodes a week: Mondays feature the top-scoring paper from a curated weekly digest of T cell engager, bispecific antibody, and protein engineering literature. Fridays cover the top trending paper on PubMed — any field, whatever's catching the research community's attention that week. Hosted by Raymond Ruff, a protein scientist working in translational immunotherapeutics. Audio is generated with NotebookLM; the host prompt aims for measured scientific skepticism rather than hype. Feedback and paper suggestions: sciencetldrpod@gmail.com
