Haley Berkoe met with Clara Shikhelman, the Head of Research at Chaincode Labs. Clara has been researching complex mathematical problems for nearly a decade and is currently focusing on the Lightning Network and bitcoin in the age of post-quantum computing.
Episode highlights include:
* Her goals with the quantum computing report: provide an overview of the current status and future direction, reduce FUD, and clarify what actually matters.
* A call for cryptographers to engage with bitcoin and read the whitepaper.
* The need for bitcoin to have a more user-friendly experience and tools that are as simple to use as Venmo.
* Excitement about new developers entering the space through the Chaincode BOSS program https://learning.chaincode.com/
* Advice to researchers: follow interesting questions rather than adhering to traditional academic paths.
