  • 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.

  • A short snippet of our bonus interview with Karina Kirk.

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

    Karina Kirk is a biologist who has a career working with human and viral DNA. Karina told us about DNA, RNA, proteins, her experiences as a female scientist, and the history of DNA science. In this segment, she talks about the famous Hershey-Chase experiment that proved DNA contained a cell's genetic information.

Her scientific work spans from coal to DNA to viruses. Join a cast of 12 as they sing to life one of the most important scientists of the 20th century.
