Episode description

Nick and Ellie discuss the unsung heroes of DNA discovery, including Freidrich Meisner, Erwin Chargaff, and Rosalind Franklin. We also discuss the Emperor Palpatine of genetics James Watson, James Watson's terrible book, and hater of James Watson's book Francis Crick. Learn about how the structure of DNA was discovered, and the 'contemptible pack of damned nonsense' that went with it. An Everyday Dissection can be found on twitter @edissect, where you can learn more about our episode content and get updates on the podcast. This podcast is hosted by Nick Lemmer (@lemmer_nick) and Ellie Weise (@allelellie). Our theme song was written by Evan Zobel and our art was created by Madeline Henrickson (IG: art_that_is_no_bueno).
