Science Geekery https://scigeekery.podbean.com Science Geekery is a place to geek out about all kinds of science, from paleontology to astronomy to chemistry. It's also a place to celebrate human scientific endeavors. I'll tell you not just what we know, but how brilliant experiments show us what we know.

Specifically, it stores the information needed to make proteins, which are the work-horses of life. But how does DNA store that information, and how do we know about it? In this episode of Science Geekery, I discuss what the genetic code is, and the scientists and experiments that cracked the genetic code. Because of their efforts, today we have many powerful tools that aid in biology research and improve human health.
