JOANNA MASEL is Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, researching the question of evolvability – why evolution works the way it does. Just recently, Joanna and her team released a study on perhaps one of the most incredible topics out there: the origin of the genetic code.
MARK from Evolution Soup talks to Joanna about the genetic code, the importance of LUCA, and Joanna's incredible research that took her billions of years back into time.
