Mendel, considered the father of genetics, is the starting point of the scientific teaching of genetics. In the 21st century, should we teach Mendel and inheritance differently?

Epidemics. Student revolutions. Educational reforms. Failed exams. Training in physics and evolutionary biology.

How did Vienna become Mendel?

"Think very carefully about all the assumptions that go into Mendel's paper. And test them."

I'm co-hosting this month's Vienna international #scicomm club gathering tonight, 7pm at Cafe Merkur (8th district). Our guest is Christian Bertsch (Head of Science Education ISTA), who will join us as a guest to talk about his #scicomm path & exciting new developments at ISTA!

Here's Christian giving a talk at our #Mendel200 symposium on science education in the era of social media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfKSqDE7A2E&feature=youtu.be

Director of the Mendel Museum Blanka Křížová talks about "G. J. Mendel – the Story of a Humble Genius"

My (belated) contribution to #Mendel200 is out! On the pitfalls of the blueprint metaphor and using Mendel's peas to frame the #genetics curriculum. https://youtu.be/zpIqQ0pGs1E

Grande finale at the #Deck50 of #NHMWien. The end of #Mendel200.

The first batch of videos from our #KLIMendelSymposium at #KLIAustria is now under final review! Can't wait to release them to the world.

What do we know today about the molecular mechanisms underlying the seven Mendel's pea loci? An interesting state of the art in the latest Plant Physiology issue. In brief, genes have been identified for 4/7 loci, whereas candidate genes need further investigation for the 3 others.

Sneak peek!

#Mendel200 is not over yet!

Soon debuting our #MendelStories, five short stories about Mendel's life, science, and legacy from five experts.

The videos were directed, filmed, and edited by the wonderful Maria Pinto, youtuber & filmographer at #Sea&Me.

Watch this space!

Severin Bachmayer, our student assistant for the #Mendel200 project and our "Meet #Mendel" actor, finally gets some respite from #scicomm to present his own research at the weekly #EvolBio dept meeting on #pregnancy, #aging, and hormonal pathways in the birthing process #partuition.

Final team dinner with the #Mendel200 crew. Sans Severin. Our next and final event is a Dec 15 "Meet Mendel" performance for our project partners, friends, and family. (no, I did not just type Yeet Mendel)

Final & thank you meeting with the trainers and staff of #DECK50 at #NHMWien. We had a great time developing a year of #ScienceEngagement activities together. Philosophers + Evolutionary Biologists + SciComm-ers unite!

Just in time for our final team dinner today. Photos from the #FacultyDay at the Faculty of Life Sciences #UniVienna are now out! This is our mascot-- Mendel's Giant Pea -- sitting behind the new biology building of University of Vienna. The department moved in last year, right before our #Mendel200 project started!

Great news! Our #Mendel200 science engagement program, which incorporates #philsci #histsci #scicomm principles and #philbio ideals on #inheritance, will be part of the long-term rotation of #NHMWien #Deck50! As their 1st external partner, we set a model for other cooperations to come! #INTERREG #UniVienna #ScienceEngagement #PhilSciComm
