OVER DEZE PODCAST 🔗
We pull apart the twisting strands of the science and technology of life itself - from the very first person to hold up a tube of purified DNA in the thick stone walls of a German castle in the 1860s to the revolution of gene editing that sent shockwaves around the world in the 2010s. The history of biotechnology offers us the chance to understand what it takes to change the world.
