We are back this week with another episode on someone you should know in science: Dr. Barbara McClintock. Dr. McClintock was an influential geneticist, whose groundbreaking work went against conventional ideas of genetics at the time. She discovered ‘jumping genes’ in maize, now known as transposable elements. Dr. McClintock also set in motion the study of epigenetics, 40 years before the field was formally recognized. It took decades before the scientific community recognized Dr. McClintock’s ideas, but despite the criticism, she never let up.
