Inhaltsangabe
Die Bestseller-Autorin von Leonardo da Vinci und Steve Jobs kehrt mit einem "überzeugenden Bericht (The Washington Post) zurück, wie Nobelpreisträgerin Jennifer Doudna und ihre Kollegen eine Revolution gestartet haben, die es uns ermöglicht, Krankheiten zu heilen, Viren abzuwehren und gesündere Babys zu bekommen. Als Jennifer Doudna in der sechsten Klasse war, kam sie eines Tages nach Hause, um festzustellen, dass ihr Vater ein Taschenbuch mit dem Titel The Double Helix auf ihrem Bett hinterlassen hatte. Sie legte es beiseite und dachte, es sei eine dieser Detektivgeschichten, die sie liebte. Als sie es an einem regnerischen Samstag las, entdeckte sie, dass sie in gewisser Weise Recht hatte. Als sie durch die Seiten rasste, wurde sie von dem intensiven Drama hinter dem Wettbewerb begeistert, um den Code des Lebens zu entdecken. Obwohl ihre High-School-Beraterin sagte, dass ihre Mädchen keine Wissenschaftler geworden sind, entschied sie, dass sie es tun würde. Angetrieben von der Leidenschaft, zu verstehen, wie die Natur funktioniert, und Entdeckungen in Erfindungen zu verwandeln, würde sie dazu beitragen, das zu machen, was der Autor des Buches, James Watson, sagte, dass sie der wichtigste biologische Fortschritt seit seiner gemeinsamen Entdeckung der Struktur der DNA war. Sie und ihre Mitarbeiter verwandelten eine Neugier der Natur in eine Erfindung, die den Menschen zu einem einfach zu bedienenden Werkzeug verwandelt, das DNA bearbeiten kann. Bekannt als CRISPR, eröffnete es eine mutige neue Welt medizinischer Wunder und moralischer Fragen. Die Entwicklung von CRISPR und das Rennen um Impfstoffe gegen das Coronavirus werden unseren Übergang zur nächsten großen Innovationsrevolution beschleunigen. Das vergangene halbe Jahrhundert war ein digitales Zeitalter, basierend auf Mikrochip, Computer und Internet. Jetzt treten wir in eine Life-Science-Revolution ein. Kinder, die digitale Codierung studieren, werden von denjenigen begleitet, die genetischen Code studieren. Sollten wir unsere neuen Evolutionshacking-Kräfte nutzen, um uns weniger anfällig für Viren zu machen? Was für ein wunderbarer Segen das wäre! Und was ist mit der Vorbeugung von Depressionen? Hmmm... Sollten wir Eltern erlauben, wenn sie es sich leisten können, die Körpergröße, Muskeln oder den IQ ihrer Kinder zu verbessern? Nachdem Doudna bei der Entdeckung von CRISPR geholfen hatte, wurde sie führend im Kampf mit diesen moralischen Problemen und gewann mit ihrer Mitarbeiterin Emmanuelle Charpentier 2020 den Nobelpreis. Ihre Geschichte ist eine "spannende Detektivgeschichte" (Oprah Daily), die die tiefgründigsten Wunder der Natur umfasst, von den Ursprüngen des Lebens bis zur Zukunft unserer Spezies.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The bestselling author of Leonardo da Vinci and Steve Jobs returns with a compelling (The Washington Post) account of how Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues launched a revolution that will allow us to cure diseases, fend off viruses, and have healthier babies. When Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade, she came home one day to find that her dad had left a paperback titled The Double Helix on her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved. When she read it on a rainy Saturday, she discovered she was right, in a way. As she sped through the pages, she became enthralled by the intense drama behind the competition to discover the code of life. Even though her high school counselor told her girls didnt become scientists, she decided she would. Driven by a passion to understand how nature works and to turn discoveries into inventions, she would help to make what the books author, James Watson, told her was the most important biological advance since his codiscovery of the structure of DNA. She and her collaborators turned a curiosity of nature into an invention that will transform the human race: an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA. Known as CRISPR, it opened a brave new world of medical miracles and moral questions. The development of CRISPR and the race to create vaccines for coronavirus will hasten our transition to the next great innovation revolution. The past half-century has been a digital age, based on the microchip, computer, and internet. Now we are entering a life-science revolution. Children who study digital coding will be joined by those who study genetic code. Should we use our new evolution-hacking powers to make us less susceptible to viruses? What a wonderful boon that would be! And what about preventing depression? HmmmShould we allow parents, if they can afford it, to enhance the height or muscles or IQ of their kids? After helping to discover CRISPR, Doudna became a leader in wrestling with these moral issues and, with her collaborator Emmanuelle Charpentier, won the Nobel Prize in 2020. Her story is an enthralling detective story (Oprah Daily) that involves the most profound wonders of nature, from the origins of life to the future of our species.
