Episode description

In our latest episode, we're diving into a wild world where electric shocks can lead to new genes! Picture this: zebrafish larvae in a tank, minding their own business, when suddenly, zapped by electric eels, they start glowing green. It's all about natural electroporation – sounds fancy, right? We chat about how this bizarre experiment opens doors to understanding genetic flexibility and the randomness of gene transfer. Imagine the evolutionary twists this could cause! Join us as we mix hard science with a pinch of humor, pondering over the quirky ways nature might play with genetics. Tune in for a blend of facts and fun speculations! --- Find out more about Gaby's science fiction short story! Here are the links for the anthology.
