Genetics Unzipped podcast: Interview with Paul Nurse
Posted by Kat Arney, on 9 July 2019
In this episode we’re celebrating the actual birthday of the society – founded on the 25th June, 100 years ago – with past president, Nobel laureate and winner of the Genetics Society’s first centenary medal, Sir Paul Nurse.
To mark this auspicious day, the Genetics Society held a very special birthday party at the John Innes Centre in Norwich. First we were treated to a wonderful exhibition of artefacts from the society’s history, including co-founder William Bateson’s original microscope and some fascinating photos. Then past president of the society and Nobel prize-winner Sir Paul Nurse unveiled two blue plaques dedicated to each of the founders, followed by the first ever Centenary medal lecture.
