He also worked there
He entered the Augustinian Monastery of St. Thomas at Brunn (now Brno) at the age of 22 and was ordained to be a preast in 1847. For the next twenty years he taught science in secondary school and during this time, began his experiments in the monastery garden that is when he discovered the basic laws of heredity. Using the garden peas for his subject, Mendel's studies in "plant hybridization" proved the existence of genes and established the statistical laws governing them. His results were published in 1866.
