When most of us first encountered genetics in school, we were introduced to Gregor Mendel and his famous pea plants. But the true history of genetics is far richer and more complex. From Mendel’s quiet experiments in a monastery garden to William Bateson coining the very word “genetics,” and Thomas Hunt Morgan’s groundbreaking work with fruit flies, the early years of this field are full of surprising twists and scientific breakthroughs.
Join Jnetics for a special lecture with Professor Gregory Radick, Professor of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Leeds as he explores the foundations of genetics, the debates and discoveries that shaped it, and the lessons these early stories still hold for the field today.
