Kat: Hello, and welcome to Genetics Unzipped - the Genetics Society podcast, with me, Dr Kat Arney. In this episode we’re bringing you our favourite bits from 2021, from the history of mRNA to canine superheroes, brilliant bats to the world’s most adventurous palaeontologist. Enjoy!
The history of mRNA

We’ll be back in 2022 with a brand new series of interview and stories ranging from the history of genetics right up to the cutting edge. I’d like to say a huge thank you to the Genetics Society for supporting the podcast, everyone who’s contributed over the year, and to all my team at First Create the Media who helped to make this series happen - especially Emily Nordvang for writing, Shannon Parker for publishing, our roving reporter Georgia Mills, Tabitha Dale on the Twitter and our fabulous editor Hannah Varrall. Plus a special shout out to Henry Nicholls for his work on our episode about genes and giants, which that last clip came from.
