Show Notes
This week I am talking with Itai Yanai, Director of the Institute for Computational Medicine and Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at NYU.
We discuss Richard Dawkin’s book: The Selfish Gene, Darwin’s work with Evolution and Itai’s Podcast: The Night Science Podcast.
Throughout the conversation we dive into extended phenotypes, spandrels in genetics, and evolution of things like facial hair and tails. Thank you for watching and being an inquisitive being.
