I'm a stem cell researcher and it is still astonishing to think how Mendel's work shaped biology. Due to his discoveries, other scientist could start to study genetics and find incredible mechanisms such as complex interactions of numerous genes (+ environmental factors) which give us our body heights, packing DNA more tightly to turn off genes or ancient DNA which can jump within our chromosomes and provoke cancer (would love to make a video about these topics in the nearer future!). And all thanks to a single monk!

@mylinuxgr5050 4 года назад

Mendels genius shined when he guessed right that inheritance of traits was based on a pair of "elements" per individual per trait. This duality of gene copies within each individual and the random passing of one of these copies in the next generation was the only logical mathematical explanation that could lead to the ratios of traits he observed in the F2 generation. So, besides genetics, he invented experimental math before statistics was even an idea. One of the most brilliant minds in human history!

@SkinnerNoah 4 года назад

I remember in middle school, I learned about Mendel, and that spring I bought about twenty breeds of chili pepper seeds to make hybrids. I didn't get many, but I did get a few neat hybrids. The banana pepper plant grew what I think was a Thai dragon hybrid, and some of the purple bell peppers had blisters like the Trinidad moruga plant next to it

I’m glad that I’m able to appreciate Mendel and his work!

Talking about Mendels depression... I fully understand how he must have felt. I've been fighting depression for 10 long years and doing my PhD made it so much worse. I know many scientists who are afflicted by this disease.

@dominicksebastien2254 4 года назад

The problematic thing is that today, there is this cult of happiness and it emtered even the Church where it can often be heard "a true believer cannot be depressed." Those are pure bollocks, there were many smart, intelligent and saintly people who were depressed but they accepted it in a way as their cross. You can have depression but remember - you are not you depression, just as I am not my anxiety.

@tracesprite6078 2 года назад

You may like to try picturing your depression as a grey blanket, lying over your life. Now imagine picking up one corner of that blanket. What do you see? Very likely, it will be a sharp, painful emotion. Be brave and let yourself feel that emotion e.g. I feel bitter because my friend is very witty but no one laughs at my jokes. Let yourself feel the hurt of that. Respect your feelings and don't belittle them. Have a cry if possible. The energy of that real, sharp emotion will probably disperse the woolly depression until next time that your mind uses vague depression to disguise a more painful emotion.

@PSquared-oo7vq 4 года назад

That was very interesting. I had always imagined him laboring on his work sub rosa, under the thumb of an oppressive church. Instead, he benefited from several enlightened religious men, who (to borrow a phrase) cultivated his obvious intellect. Good episode.

The patience of the man, 8 years cross breeding peas and is then estimated to have counted 30,000 of them and divided them into sub categories 👏👏. From this he figured out dominant and regressive genes, a true genius. He discovered a new science and no one noticed for decades. I love the idea of him working alone for years and those watching on thinking he was insane. Time did prove him right.

@amandajones661 2 года назад

As someone who has lived with depression my entire life and thrived in many careers, I can't say how important personal projects are that don't involve anyone else. His long term pea project sounds heavenly to me. Not all depression is the same, but having 1. A personal project that only you are responsible for 2. Something you have to keep alive 3. Something that keeps your mind busy and structured and 4. A schedule are ways it sounds like he helped live with his depression.

@mfvieira89 4 года назад

This is odd, but it's kind of comforting to know that people who achieved great things went through suffering too. I also had a breakdown while I was at University (in no small part because of money related issues), I also returned to my parent's relatively quiet village/region and I also took a year and a half to recover (I didn't stop studying or lay down doing nothing though, in the mean time I went to a smaller University and enrolled in another course). Then I returned, and in 2016, I finally was able to graduate from Medical School, albeit two years "late". I got relatively bad grades in important exams because my anxiety too, and I'm still battling it.
