We talk about science now more than ever, but what does it actually take to generate a drug, become a phenomenal scientist, or have a lab of your own? The Science Behind Science Podcast takes you backstage of research to show you how scientific discoveries really happen. Hosted by Dennis Grencewicz, and cancer researcher and medical student at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, he sits down with scientists to humanize the individuals behind groundbreaking discoveries and to gain perspective on ethical dilemmas in research and best practices in scientific education and business.

Science + Education: The Story of a Paradigm-Shifting Biological Discovery - The Kingdom of Archaea

Dr. George Fox, Emeritus Professor and Research Professor at the University of Houston, relates the remarkable story of how he and his late mentor, Dr. Carl Woese, discovered the biological kingdom Archaea. He explains how they realized they had identified a new kingdom, how this discovery was initially received by the scientific community, and how their work has shaped medicine and research to this day. We get an excellent overview of the science of 16S rRNA sequencing, background on Dr. Fox’s journey to become a scientist, and career advice for those who are uncertain about what to pursue. As he relayed his story, we were struck by Dr. Fox’s accomplishments, but even more so by his humility. We hope his legacy inspires you and the next generation of researchers for years to come.
