The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race by Walter Isaacson
5.0
Another gem by Walter Isaacson! I learned so much - about Jennifer Doudna, CRISPR, and the delicate balance of competition and collaboration in science and biotech - and it’s all thanks to Isaacson’s writing. His style is so easy to read, and makes complex concepts so easily digestible.
Such an inspirational biography. When Doudna (and Charpentier) are awarded the Nobel Prize at the end - it brought a tear of pride to my eye. You can’t help but consider how Rosalind Franklin was likely sitting back and applauding from somewhere in the universe, and thinking “Finally”.
