Even though much has changed since the 1960’s, women in science still experience HUGE institutional sexism. Doudna: "We could create a gene gap that would get wider with each new generation," she says. "If you think we face inequalities now, imagine what it would be like if society became genetically tiered along economic lines and we transcribed our financial inequality into our genetic code." Apparently, internecine conflict between scientists in academia is BAD, and interdisciplinary team collaboration in industry ends up being pretty GOOD. In all, it takes commitment to read this book and I have a feeling that its reception will not be the one that this author has received previously in his wonderful works. Sad to say, this is not something I would heartily recommend and one I would caution the reader to be ready to be at times overwhelmed and needing a pause in its reading.

Nonfiction Book Review: The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race by Walter Isaacson". Publishers Weekly. January 26, 2021 . Retrieved March 18, 2021. And this male v female, basic v applied, public v private showdown almost ended up in a very wounding and unsightly recapitulation of that famously uncool chapter of recent history. In 1980 un alt pas urias : Cech si Altman descopera ca anumite forme de ARN pot fi enzime, moleculele lor se pot diviza, declansand o reactie chimica. Mai mult, ele pot fi mai importante pentru originea vietii decat ADN, ele pot elimina prin taiere secvente nedorite. In a nutshell, Charpentier, Doudna and Feng Zhang all (somehow) ended up (sort of) collaborating on various (openly shared) COVID-19 testing and vaccine procedures.

Charpentier and Doudna are basic (not applied) researchers, working at public universities, and are as such, not so savvy in patent law and the patent application process.It was good to read about how the scientific community responded to the COVID-19 crisis by open sourcing research information to be used toward the development of test kits and related research. This book offers a short description of the various types of vaccines and the history of their development. There is a also a short description of the bureaucratic idiocy related to the CDC's delay in development of an approved COVID test. The book's most thought-provoking section is where the author discusses moral and ethical issues with the new science. The author goes through a host of points that are being debated in the scientific community. The book does not attempt any answers, which is fine. The primary purpose is to make the readers think, which it does well through the concise and precise presentation of the issues. The Code Breaker will be dated in a matter of months. Better explanations of the technologies involved are emerging every day in popular magazines and newspapers. The technologies themselves are becoming rapidly outdated, with the commentators re-assigning past events' importance for their impact on the future with each discovery. The scientists involved have decades more of careers even if we ignore the ballooning army of newcomers. The heroes and their associations, competitions, inspirations will likely appear utterly different over time.

M-a mai impresionat cata sustinere are cercetarea in SUA. Desi stiam, am descoperit ca este mult mai substantiala decat presupuneam. For the above reasons I would recommend this book only with reservations. I’m glad I read it, but I think it would be an even more powerful book had it been condensed and edited. The race to prove that CRISPR-Cas9 could work in human cells became fierce, and was realised in roughly six months in five different labs within the scientific community. Although, admittedly, the scientific and technical jargon became difficult to follow at times, there was often an under thread of competition and excitement that kept me reading. It almost became a sport, and I was in the stands rooting for my team to be first to the finish.There are the patent races and the competition among universities in the U.S. and he covers some abroad. Biotech companies are now and have been, in this area of research aligned with the scientists and their universities so for years there's been a race for the scientists to publish and patent because their schools (in Doudna's case, Berkeley, but mainly in the U.S. Harvard and MIT) benefit and the biotech companies the scientists form (Doudna, like most of the scientists in here, owns several) have gone on to make many millions. There's big money at stake. Title is a bit misleading. It is not a full biography of Jennifer Doudna alone. Rather, it’s a biography of CRISPR technology and a detailed story of how it was discovered from fascinating and complicated collaborations between numerous great scientists. The story of CRISPR is not done yet.

From the first chapter, I had an emotional connection to the story, as I felt grateful that Doudna had the internal fortitude not to listen to the many teachers who in various different ways insisted that "Girls don't do science." She shares that at the time it was hurtful to her, but it also stiffened her resolve and caused her to focus on her goals. She remembered telling herself "I will show you. If I want to do science, I am going to do it." I've taken it from five stars to four after mulling the book and having written the review, I realize I only want to give it three. This is a good book but too wide in scope. It's not a biography of Jennifer Doudna, although there is a focus on her. I simply have no words to express how much I loved this amazing and historically recorded book. Walter Isaacson! Sir, you have such a diverse taste in science, arts and literature.In prima jumatate a secolului XX fizica a fost revolutionata de teoriile lui Einstein si de mecanica cuantica. I will say that I'm not 100% clearly picturing how gene editing works despite the lengthy explanations. But I definitely understood the results. Isaacson leaves no aspect of this story unearthed. He describes the way research labs compete with each other, the various breakthroughs since mapping DNA, the personalities involved, the moral quandaries involved with manipulating genes, and how all this research ultimately enabled the development of the COVID vaccines. Our mission is to protect, preserve, and present the best of Newport County's architectural heritage. Learn more about us and our work. CRISPR is a type of DNA sequence, found in bacteria that have previously been infected by a virus or other invading organism. I hope this book will inspire and encourage more young women to go into the sciences, specifically research.
