Today we talk to Dr. Odel Rechavi the principal investigator of the The Oded Rechavi Lab at Tel-Aviv University. Dr. Rechavi is an ERC Fellow, a recipient of the Schmidt Science Polymath award, the Kadar award, the Blavatnik award and more. He is best known for his work which provides evidence that a trait can be inherited through a transgenerational inheritance mechanism using RNA and not DNA using nematodes as a model organism.

We not only covered his work in transgenerational inheritance, but also his research into using toxoplasmosis as a protein delivery system able to pass through the blood-brain barrier. Also covered was his work using DNA sequencing to help translate the Dead Sea Scrolls, the importance of science communication, and more.

Today we have Dr. Greg Pask, a professor at Middlebury College who holds his Ph.D in Biological Sciences from Vanderbilt University.
