Welcome to episode two of The Interesting Bits.
This time, we have three stories including how Gregor Mendel's overlooked book on sweet peas changed the face of biology, and the man who spent a lifetime trying to persuade everyone that he wasn’t George Eliot, which he wasn’t. To start us off, 323 years ago, Isaac Newton was taking time off from physics to pursue an old enemy to his death.

Additional music: "Camelot Monastery" by Darren Curtis
