Honestly this was such an amazing interview, I’m lucky to be living in a time where these two share their experience with an experiment that played such an important role in confirming how DNA works. This was so enlightening and interesting that I stopped looking at my genetics textbook for a second and just listened to what they had to say. And I know this is not surprising, but them explaining how they conducted their experiment helped me understand more than the textbook did ❤
I worked as Matt Meselson's research asst. when he first came to Harvard, 1961 until 1965. He was a great person to work for/with. We used the density gradient technique for further phage genetics studies. The woman I worked for at Caltech, where my husband was an undergrad, Hildegarde Lamfrom suggested Dr. Meselson hire me, a we were going to Harvard too. He wanted someone willing to learn his careful techniques.
OMG, I learned this in high school. Absolutely beautiful and elegant experiment, and to see the real people behind this experiment brings so much emotion. Now as a cell biologist, revisiting this experiment on here just makes me so proud of being a part of this incredible field of biology. Someone has said to me "the most beautiful experiment is usually the simplest one of all" and this is an example.
Love these guys so much, I was studying for the A/L biology exams and ultimately ended up here! 😂 Thank you so much for bringing this to us. This was so eye-opening and mesmerising!❤❤❤❤
It's amazing how Professor Stahl hasn't changed much since I last saw him in 1996! Wish you well Frank and thank you for the opportunity of letting me work in your lab as an undergraduate- It was really a life-changing experience!
Studied their experiment in 11th grade, and i remember how bad i too wanted to perform it by my self. Unfortunately couldn't do it at school level. Watching these guys today, surely made the experiment even more BEAUTIFUL for me.
Wow! Just wow. This is the most wonderful thing I've seen in a long time. Thank you for bringing these two together and having them share their work and friendship with us. This is a treasure.
At their time they thought they were graduate students and looked up to Richard Feynmann and Linus Pauling as great scientists. For students today they are the same for us.
I am grateful to know two of our most respected scientists who have confirmed the Watson-Crick model are still amongst us. Studying microbiology in this period of scientific development it’s hard to believe that the founding fathers of the DNA model are still alive, thank you for loving science and helping it grow. Stay healthy, and stay safe. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much iBiology for providing this amazing interview with two of my scientist heroes. When learning about semiconservative DNA replication, first at school and then again at university, I never thought I'd be able to see Meselson and Stahl in an interview.
This is so so so beautiful. Wish there was more content like this on the internet. The world is run by the scientists working day and night and not the celebrities dancing with the sharks. Scientists need more respect and exposure.
recall when a grad student and a professor (David Denison) told us a story about when he was a grad student at Caltech when they came into the grad student lounge with an autorad fresh from the experiment
This type of video should be shown in schools and universities/colleges to encourage students to research. It feels like two grandpa telling the story of their youth.
as a high school student, they definitely opened my horizon. I feel lucky to be able to watch this interview. Thank yall to share this amazing interview 🧬🧬
I am so lucky to have atleast watch them on TH-cam. I wish I can meet them in person. The talk was so enriching with humour, insights from those times and just the pure innocence of them. It made my day!!! Thank you iBiology for this great content. Can't thank you enough. ❤️❤️
Sir, you both are so adorable... Literally feeling on the top of the world cause of being able to learn your experiment by yourself. It not just the experiment it's also the history, scenario interest.. That ended up to the experiment and this is beyond textbooks truely fortunate..
These were the most beautiful 22 minutes. I really loved the video and do good to see them alive and talking about how they made it through and introduced the concept of semi-conservative replication to the world. So thankful to these men.
I hope you could get to interview other known scientists/legends like them :) very nice interview.. it made me remember my super smart 75 year-old professor in my graduate studies :’)
The intensity with which they felt the beauty of it all must have been so grand. Just hearing them talk about it is so overwhelming that I teared up. Probably because of how well they lend us their senses to be able to soak it all in through their expression.
I got really emotional watching this video... I've been studying about their experiment all the time and now watching how they look and how their voices are is incredible. Thank you!
I stumbled across this talk looking for inspiration for my own online teaching and saw your comment - hope you're well Jean! I still have one of your drawings on my office wall! Good memories of Eugene OR.
@@niabryant406 HI Nia! Nice to hear from you, in this roundabout way! I'm doing well, though sad we couldn't come visit the family, this summer..I was fortunate to have squeezed in a visit in February, before Covid hit, while they were filming this video. Hope you are doing well, too, and that you found some inspiration here for your work! If you are ever in Mexico, come visit us in Oaxaca!
Brilliant! 😄. I feel so fortunate to have found this video and the channel behind it. I have attempted to be a science communicator my whole life. I don't have all of the math, but I do have the intrinsic fascination with the nature of reality and our universe.... Thank you!
Just wow...glad to listen to these 2 geniuses...they seem best buddies & so nostalgic remembering all that stuff...just observe their great sense of humour... it's delightful to see them explain all that in person... how beautifully presented...! Thanks 😇❤️ Please bring more such interesting scientific videos.
On the eve of this Christmas evening, i was reading my Molecular biology book and just after finishing my sub unit , "Semi conservative mode of DNA replication " i opened TH-cam and this was the 1st recommendation video , Am so much fortunate that i am watching these two novel laureates . Respect from India 🤝🤝🤝
My day couldn't be any better than this, watching our legends alive, healthy and reminiscing their journey of experiment! 🤩 I feel so lucky to be a biology student!
I was unaware that they're alive, it's such an honour to see you sir! Regards from me, big fan of your work! Thank you so much for this video. I'm very grateful to encounter this video.
You both are our inspiration ❤️ Never thought I would be able to hear this explanation directly from Meselson and Stahl .... Really I am lucky and grateful 💫🙌💝
I had read about ur experiment in my biology text book....really awesome to listen to ur experience and witness u both together....thank u so much for this video ❤️❤️
WoW! I haven't been this surprised since seeing a talk from Dr. Watson on your channel! makes you think, most of what we know about biology is fairly recent.
I mean....Meselson, Stahl, Fynmann, Watson, Creek all these great people at a place....what an atmosphere must have been there...one can only imagine now.🔥❤️🙏
WOW...!!! I teach biology and I have read their experiment countless times. Listening their early days and work is surely inspiring for young researchers. Thank you iBiology.
Such appreciation and such gratitude coupled with humbling persona.. Wow! Mind blowing!! So amazing. Kudos to the editing team and Team iBiology for coming up with such a wonderful experience. I was excited about this, right from the day I first received an email. It was 11th November. Even seeing this here exceeded my expectations. Thank you!!
What a thoroughly enjoyable video! I had so much fun watching it. Biology is cool and it has always been cool. I am glad these guys were around to contribute to our collective understand of life.
THIS SHIT WAS SO CUTE ITS MAKING STUDYING MOL BIO AND GENETICS WORTH IT. But I'm genuinely grateful for their work. It's the foundation of essentially everything I'm learning. I was initially planning on going for med school, but after seeing their work, I'm really interested in studying molecular biology and genetics further, and making my own (very small but still existant) contributions to that field.
I loved the video, but it would also be good to highlight the contributions of J. Herbert Taylor of Columbia University who practically discovered the same thing, however with a different approach a year before the publication of Meselson and Stahl.
I kinda hated these names because I didn’t get it and had to know the experiment for my next class test, but these guys are such wholesome grannies lol you can’t not like them
@16:27, the dispersive model would predict that after two replication cycles, every strand of DNA should contain about 25% ¹⁵N and about 75% ¹⁴N. So that should be all the same weight
Cette vidéo est une "merveille"...Merci Y.T En 1953 W&C publient un modèle d'ADN stupéfiant, presque trop beau pour être vrai... Arrive alors en 1958 une expérience "géniale" qui valide le modèle "presque trop beau pour être vrai" en modèle "génial"...

Could these 2 dudes identified an intermediate light/heavy DNA in a mis-sense mutant amt walkingbon a pair of false left handed walking legs in 1965?
Couldn't have imagined to learn this experiment from them. Internet is surely a beautiful place.
Cant believe such a great video is out here in youtube
thank you. we hope you check out some of our other films as well.
I have just started my PhD, It feels amazing to see such great souls.
Same here brother! What is your project?

Its nice to see that scientists are not boring people. A very interesting duo.
Wow..dont these guys look adorable. And the pic promises to be an entertaining talk
That's not only interesting. It is also fascinating how their way of life were mentioned. Their friendship is wholesome
It's amazing how Professor Stahl hasn't changed much since I last saw him in 1996! Wish you well Frank and thank you for the opportunity of letting me work in your lab as an undergraduate- It was really a life-changing experience!
I love the way how this great experiment started a lifelong friendship 🧿
Wow! Really interesting, only read about them in my Biology book, never thought would hear them speak!
wow .. this is intelligence how simply they explained everything with a flow . two gems of biology world, we all are blessed.
I literally have goosebumps, i feel great that i chose to study biology. Love you guys..

as a high school student, they definitely opened my horizon. I feel lucky to be able to watch this interview. Thank yall to share this amazing interview 🧬🧬
I never knew that you can find how DNA replicates itself by sometimes sleeping in class. Now I have the courage to do smthng like this
I am so lucky to have atleast watch them on TH-cam. I wish I can meet them in person. The talk was so enriching with humour, insights from those times and just the pure innocence of them. It made my day!!! Thank you iBiology for this great content. Can't thank you enough. ❤️❤️
This was amazing...!.. To hear those who were actually behind these experiments speak about it is such a delightful experience!
This is amazing!!! I have tears in my eye. Such a wonderful journey. Thank u so much for this video.
What a beautiful telling of this story. Wonderful piece!!

We usually see black and white photos of scientists in text books! God already blessed us all to watch this most beautiful video! 😍😍
This should be named 'The most beautiful Video'!! I am not able to comprehend Messelson, Stahl, Temin and Feynman in the same room!
You both are the reason to find the research so magical. Thanks for all your contributions to this world.
I am a high school sudent in India and while studying i found this video. Really appreciate your work .Respect.

Thank you so much for this interview! They're brilliant! Loved to watching them speak.
We studied them in books at school. And now they are out there.
Talking!
That's interesting!!
Yes, i was shocked to find out that they made this interview
You both are our inspiration ❤️ Never thought I would be able to hear this explanation directly from Meselson and Stahl .... Really I am lucky and grateful 💫🙌💝
It so sweet to see these two intelligent men discussing about discoveries, memories...so sweet, inspiring as well...loved it. Thanks for sharing
I am fascinated. Thank you for this great interview
I teach these lovely gentlemen's discovery to students in a small town in the UK. They have no idea, but a class full of British kids know about them.
I always see there pics in books and thesis , It nice to watch both of him in a live frame . World's most beautiful Experiment. ❤
this is such an amazing video, experiment, and pair of scientists! and they're so wholesome too!
I had read about ur experiment in my biology text book....really awesome to listen to ur experience and witness u both together....thank u so much for this video ❤️❤️
Great story and interview. Thanks, iBiology!

Two Lovely Brilliant Men, Thank you for your contribution to science and biology and for a better understanding for our existence
Thanks a lot ibiology
It's really amazing to see and hear these words of legends..
Proud to be a geneticist
I mean....Meselson, Stahl, Fynmann, Watson, Creek all these great people at a place....what an atmosphere must have been there...one can only imagine now.🔥❤️🙏
Benchmark experiment in Biology...And to be able to see the two most eminent persons behind this experiment is a privilege.
can't believe this ,:i read about them in my biology book .God bless them..
It is a great chance to learn about their experiment directly from them!
WOW...!!! I teach biology and I have read their experiment countless times. Listening their early days and work is surely inspiring for young researchers. Thank you iBiology.
