Matthew Meselson in the Xchange: The Most Beautiful Experiment in Biology

Matt Meselson takes us on a journey through his long and storied career, including 60 years as a Harvard biology professor. From memories of his earliest science experiments as a small child to his non-traditional learning path, which included service learning during WWII, to musings on the spirit of cooperation in managing a pandemic and the future of biology and humanity, this episode gives us an insight into a legendary figure in biology. A new virtual interview series from LabXchange at Harvard University, the Xchange showcases the diverse roles, projects, and initiatives that make up the intersecting fields of science, education, and health. Hosted by LabXchange Faculty Director Robert Lue, our first season features a range of perspectives on the impact of COVID-19.
