The name of this podcast comes from the Greek word meaning life. It’s also an acronym for the full name of the podcast, Biology Through Audio. My goal is to introduce listeners to biology in a way that helps them understand, explain, compare, and evaluate different biological phenomena that we encounter every day. To do this, I’ll draw from current events, past events, and what I think are some really interesting biological examples. At the end of each episode, you’ll find supporting references and additional resources in case you want to explore further.

Genotypes and Phenotypes in the Biology Zone – #042
In this Twilight Zone-inspired episode of BioTA, two biology students prepping for lab encounter a pair of unexpected space travelers who want help unraveling a mystery: Why do some bacteria defy antibiotics while others perish? Why do some plants tolerate herbicides while others shrivel? With a crash course in the concepts of genotypes and phenotypes, the students explain some of the basic principles that life on Earth follows (most of the time).
