Final Thoughts

Exchange is a fairly advanced topic, so it is great to have access to it in the lab.  I could easily dedicate this podcast to only Exchange and never run out of things to talk about.  I expect to go future episodes it.
Building a DAG would be the next logical step
Where should we go from here in the Lab
