L'ADN poubelle: Junk DNA

This is a podcast in French on the topic of junk DNA. The moderator is Thomas C. Durand of La Tronche en Biais, a YouTube channel that focuses on critical thinking. Durand interviews two scientists from l’Université Paris Cité (City University of Paris), Didier Casane and Patrick Laurenti.

It's a two hour video that discusses all the relevant topics on the human genome and junk DNA. The most exciting part for me comes at 56 mins when the moderator asks Casane and Laurenti to recommend a book on the subject (see screenshot on right). Patrick Laurenti suggests that my book should be translated into French but I don't think that's going to happen.

    I've donated a copy to the library of the Department of Biology of the University of Cologne. Unfortunately, this was the last book they've accepted because they want to go fully digital. I don't know if it will be possible to donate digital copies in the future.

    @SPARC Thank-you. Maybe some students will still come in to browse and discover a book they didn't know existed. I don't think browsing the shelves of a library is possible with digital collections.
