About this listen
In this episode, we explore the incredible story of Gregor Mendel, whose foundational work on genetic inheritance was overlooked for 35 years due to scientific snobbery and a lack of open-mindedness. We uncover how a simple monk in a monastery garden developed the laws of heredity, only for the scientific establishment to ignore his findings until they were independently rediscovered decades later.
