  • Rosalind Franklin Bonus 3 Teaser
    Nov 11 2021

    A short snippet of our bonus interview with Dr. Julie Gutman.

    In our bonus episodes, we delve into the science behind the story by interviewing actual scientists about the show's concepts.

    Dr. Gutman is an epidemiologist who has had a long career studying infectious agents, and just like Rosalind Franklin, she did x-ray crystallography! Dr. Gutman told us about virus structure, how they function - and mutate, and whether they are living beings with an agenda. In this segment, she talks about why studying the tobacco mosaic virus was so important.
