Having been introduced to Lysenko and why he still matters, having given a rudimentary picture of agricultural research in the Tsarist days, we will today suit up in the armour of proletarian science, as to be able to fight the beasts that lay ahead. This episode is a bit theory heavy but I've sprinkled it with some comedy, some parallax events and a biological cliffhanger of the centuries! 

We are standing at the gate of the law but unlike Kafka's protagonist we will not be discouraged by the guard or his warning of other guards, more mightier door after door,  come dream or nightmare we must step through for the sake of an environmental future that is not a virtual hologram. 

Brace yourself dear listener, for it's getting heavier.
