Summary:
"Sir Paul Nurse is director of the Francis Crick Institute in London. He previously served as president of Rockefeller University, president of the Royal Society, and trustee of the British Museum. He is a recipient of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. In his book Paul Nurse takes readers on a wondrous journey through five fundamental biological
ideas
: the cell, the gene, evolution by natural selection, life as chemistry, and life as information -- introducing the scientists who made the most important advances and taking us into his own lab to give us a sense of the thrill of scientific discovery. In a final chapter, Nurse addresses
biology
's most pressing ethical issues, including gene-editing, genetic testing, and genetically modified crops, and he concludes with a stirring encomium to
biology
's role in tackling infectious disease."
