About this listen

Discover the remarkable journey of Gregor Mendel, an Augustinian monk at the St. Thomas monastery in Brno, who revolutionized our understanding of genetics. His groundbreaking paper, Experiments in Plant Hybridization, meticulously details his studies on pea plants, where he first identified the principles of dominant and recessive traits. Initially overlooked and met with skepticism, Mendels work was rediscovered at the dawn of the 20th century, ultimately earning him the esteemed title of the father of modern genetics. Join us as we explore his life, his challenges, and the incredible impact of his discoveries. (Summary by Availle)
