Description: | Even in 2022, two hundred years after the birth of Gregor Mendel, students learning about biological inheritance start by learning about Mendel's famous experiments crossing varieties of the garden pea. But does it really make sense, today, to teach students to think of Mendel's peas as exemplary of how inheritance works? This talk will suggest that an old debate about Mendel's work casts new light on his legacies, including those left to the biology classroom. |
