520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Driven by a passion to understand how nature works and to turn discoveries into inventions, Doudna 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. Isaacson explores the development of CRISPR and the race to create vaccines for coronavirus will hasten our transition to the next great innovation revolution. -- Adapted from jacket.
