In today's episode, John and Patrick explore the extraordinary life and tragic fate of Nikolai Vavilov, a visionary scientist who revolutionized agricultural science in the early 20th century. Against the backdrop of revolution and war-torn Russia, Vavilov's commitment to collecting and preserving seeds from around the world, culminating in the creation of the world's first seed bank, became his enduring legacy. Yet, his dedication to science and truth led to a clash with another rising star whose pseudo-scientific theories gained Stalin's favor. Join John and Patrick as they uncover the dramatic story of Vavilov's courage, sacrifice, and enduring impact on agriculture worldwide.
