À propos de cet audio

The definitive insider's history of the genetic revolution - significantly updated to reflect the discoveries of the last decade.

James D. Watson, the Nobel laureate whose pioneering work helped unlock the mystery of DNA's structure, charts the greatest scientific journey of our time, from the discovery of the double helix to today's controversies to what the future may hold. Updated to include new findings in gene editing, epigenetics, and agricultural chemistry as well as two entirely new chapters on personal genomics and cancer research. This is the most comprehensive and authoritative exploration of DNA's impact - practical, social, and ethical - on our society and our world.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Unlocking the secret of life was the greatest accomplishment of science in the 20th century and laid the foundation for medicine in the 21st century. Over the past 50 years, Jim Watson has been at the center of this revolution. No one has a broader perspective. And, no one can tell its story more compellingly. Watson brings alive the grand ideas, human foibles, and social challenges in a way will both engage the general public and inspire a new generation of young scientists." (Eric Lander, founder and director of the Whitehead Center for Genome Research)
"Only James Watson combines the verve and authority to take us on such an exciting, fast-paced journey into the continuing storm of DNA science. This landmark summary asks where the new biology will take us, and gives arresting vignettes of major participants in the DNA revolution. The key experiments and fascinating unknowns are laid out as plain as day." (Victor McElheny, author of Watson and DNA: Making a Scientific Revolution)

Well balanced, and enjoyable.

Storyline well told while remaining continuously informative. I appreciate that the information was made available to the laymen without sacrificing the quality of technical details for those familiar with genetic and biochemical jargon.

I deeply enjoy how Dr J. Watson never shies from fully articulating his personal opinions on critical topics, while providing a broad perspective analysis of not just his own rationales/conclusions, but of the opposing perspectives as well. He challenges his readers to not only form their own opinions, but to actually process the logical deductions from the available facts before doing so. I found this refreshing because these subjects are too often avoided for conflict aversion among those who seem incapable of debating intellectually rather than emotionally. Who seem to prefer emotional manipulation to ignorantly (or arrogantly I guess for some) protect their cognitive dissonance, rather than allowing their opinions to be as dynamically adaptive as our scientific understandings steadily change and grow.

His unapologetic courage to address these issues openly and verbalize that fallacious beliefs are still just that, no matter how many people believe in them is remarkable, and I found it inspiring.
