As a kid, Science for Dr Anil Menon was a dinner table conversation with his parents, who were both scientists. Dr Menon enjoyed those discussions.

As a young boy, he was fascinated with Mendeleev\\u2019s Periodic Table of the Elements. This fascination led to his lifelong commitment for science in general, and Molecular Genetics in particular.

Dr. Anil Menon is Professor of Molecular Genetics & Associate Dean of the UG Program in Medical Sciences.

In this Podcast, Dr. Menon reflects on his journey into the then emerging field of Molecular Genetics, Working in Cold Spring Harbor Lab at SUNY Stony Brook, PhD in Jerry Lingrel\\u2019s Lab at the U Cincinnati, Postdoctoral work with the Human Genome Project at Harvard, and his Professional Career at the University of Cincinnati.

Memorable Quote: \\u201cSo, I think I will always be a scientist, I think I\'m a little more you know, I view it with less, less naivety now than I did when I first started, but it has not changed. I think the atoms that comprise me, have been touched with, with just the joy of doing science, and I will always be a scientist.\\u201d Dr. Anil Menon.
