    Most of what I learned about genetics is incorrect as when I graduated we thought DNA ran the show.

    We were also wrong about why the USSR fell (not a huge surprise)

        I graduated when people accepted Gaidar’s propositions whole cloth and now we blame Gorbachev a lot more than we did in 2000

        mRNA runs the show

        Why did we think think the USSR fell?

        The most common belief was that it fell because Ronald Reagan ordered Gorbachev to “tear down that wall”.
