Listen "The Gene: An Intimate History"
Episode Synopsis
We stand at a monumental precipice. After a two-thousand-year quest, we have finally cracked the code that governs our lives: the gene. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Siddhartha Mukherjee masterfully unravels this epic history, from a forgotten monk’s garden to the revolutionary gene-editing tools of today.
