Jennifer Doudna is not a person I had heard about. It was interesting to read about her pioneering work with CRISPR gene editing, seen as one of the most significant breakthroughs in the last decade. Also covered is some of the research that her work built upon.
The ethics and disadvantages of genetic engineering vs the benefits is an interesting debate. All technology can be used for good and bad and there can be unintended consequences.
With the Covid-19 pandemic, the significance of CRISPR became vital to develop Covid tests and the Covid vaccine.
There was a heavy emphasis on the science, which was beyond me and for me this contributed to the book feel a bit long-winded. It was more akin to a biography of CRISPR technology than Jennifer.
