DR MOHAMED NOOR is a Professor of Biology at Duke University involved in evolutionary genetics research , looking into how genetic changes contribute to the formation of new species. A keen Star Trek aficionado, he is the author of the book Live Long and Evolve and serves as a Science Advisor on the Paramount Plus series, Star Trek: Discovery.

MARK from Evolution Soup opens hailing frequencies with Dr Noor to discuss how the Star Trek franchise utilizes science and especially the science of biological evolution. Did the writers get it right? Could there be humanoids all throughout our galaxy? And what about tribbles?
