An excerpt from The Physical Mystery of Life by E.L Watson (1943), and the article “Genes and Life: The Need for Qualitative Understanding” by Craig Holdrege (1999)

This episode highlights two still highly relevant pieces in the premier issue of the institute’s publication, In Context #1 (Spring 1999). Host John Gouldthorpe reads a selection on the  remarkable capacities of the female potter wasp, by E.L.
