Pow! Bam! DNA! In this segment, Ira talks with Mark Schultz, the author of a new genetic biology primer with a twist -- it's in the form of a graphic novel. Working with artists Zander Cannon and Kevin Cannon, Schultz takes on topics from adenines to zygotes, from cytokinesis to parthenogenesis. The book is called 'The Stuff of Life.' We'll find out more. |
