This will be our last episode for a while.

We’re not sure if or when we’ll return - but while our future looks a little uncertain, the future of genetics is certainly bright 💡

Are we teaching genetics the right way?

A century ago, Mendel’s ideas on inheritance came out on top. But what if things had turned out differently?

Inheritance is more complicated than you might think.

In our latest episode we speak to Greg Radick, author of Disputed Inheritance: The Battle over Mendel and the Future of Biology.

Check it out to learn how Mendel came to rule the world: https://t.co/r7Ke7rJ9b1

[PremzCuriosities @PremzCuriositi1]

I haven't read 'Disputed Inheritance: The Battle over Mendel and the Future of Biology' but I think it's going into my TBR. Any thoughts from Biology teachers if your students would have brought it up or care to discuss?

@GeneticsUnzip I love this podcast. It always inspires me to write about Genetics and study something new. This last one was a provocative wake-up call to consider the unrecognized contributions we missed because of various circumstances. Can´t wait to dive into the book. Great work, guys :)

Genetic determinism is the belief that your genes, above all else, make you who you are

Prof. Greg Radick tells us how a more “Weldonian” curriculum helped his students have a less deterministic view on genes

Your first genetics lesson probably involved Punnett Squares and Mendel’s peas - but why? 🫛

In our latest ep, we explore a century-old feud between Weldon and Bateson and find out how Mendel came to rule the world of genetics

In the early 1900s, there was a debate on inheritance between 2 main schools of thought in genetics - Mendelian vs Weldonian.

Ultimately Mendel’s ideas won out. But does that mean they were right?

NEW EPISODE!

William Bateson strongly believed who we are is written in our genes.

But Raphael Weldon thought inheritance was more complicated than that.

What do you think? Is heredity destiny? Find out more about this historic debate:
