Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
This year marks two significant dates in scientific history: the 200th anniversary Charles Darwin’s birth, and the 150th anniversary of Darwin’s landmark work, “On the Origin of Species.” We speak with scientists from a variety of scientific disciplines about what Darwin got right, what he got wrong, and how his work still guides cutting-edge research today.
