About this listen

 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, 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. Biological Sciences Science Genetic Disease Medicine

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.

Well balanced, and enjoyable.
