The embedded video presentation is high quality and informative...after the opening remarks from the podium. https://youtu.be/iHazsSvn3VA

The speaker starts at 5 min 38 sec into the presentation. This should link to the direct start time: https://youtu.be/iHazsSvn3VA?t=5m38s

Edit: And continues from background ML/Bio to core talk at 11 min 50 sec here: https://youtu.be/iHazsSvn3VA?t=11m50s

Edit: Focus is on design of experiments using bayesian analysis

Edit: Second half is at 32 min 22 sec and is more focused on synthetic biology / information processing in biomolecular systems: https://youtu.be/iHazsSvn3VA?t=32m22s

very cool biomolecular computation info in the last section

The title sounded like the setup for an awesome joke. The problem is, now I want to hear that joke! :(

I wrote the title and blog post (that's me looking all awkward at the beginning of the video). Originally I wanted to just write "walk into a foo", but the reference was deemed too oblique for biologists, even with the hyperlink. Would love to hear your ideas for the rest of the joke!

Glad you liked his talk! Yeah, you can tell that Aviv and I were not mic'ed as Ryan was, so we had to boost our audio.
