560 pages | Hardcover
The bestselling author of Leonardo da Vinci and Steve Jobs returns with a gripping account of how Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues launched a revolution that will allow us to cure diseases, fend off viruses, and have healthier babies.

When Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade, she came home one day to find that her dad had left a paperback titled The Double Helix on her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved. When she read it on a rainy Saturday, she discovered she was right, in a way. As she sped through the pages, she became enthralled by the intense drama behind the competition to discover the code of life. Even though her high school counselor told her girls didn’t become scientists, she decided she would.

Driven by a passion to understand how nature works and to turn discoveries into inventions, she would help to make what the book’s author, James Watson, told her was the most important biological advance since his co-discovery of the structure of DNA. She 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.

The development of CRISPR and the race to create vaccines for coronavirus will hasten our transition to the next great innovation revolution. The past half-century has been a digital age, based on the microchip, computer, and internet. Now we are entering a life-science revolution. Children who study digital coding will be joined by those who study genetic code.

Should we use our new evolution-hacking powers to make us less susceptible to viruses? What a wonderful boon that would be! And what about preventing depression? Hmmm…Should we allow parents, if they can afford it, to enhance the height or muscles or IQ of their kids?

After helping to discover CRISPR, Doudna became a leader in wrestling with these moral issues and, with her collaborator Emmanuelle Charpentier, won the Nobel Prize in 2020. Her story is a thrilling detective tale that involves the most profound wonders of nature, from the origins of life to the future of our species.

Quality towel no surprise from chemical guys
Size: 1 Pack (24" x 36")
Great towel! I just used it today on my F150 and the small Jeep Cherokee Latitude. Worked great and I didn’t need to wring it out at all it soaks up water quickly and doesn’t leave streaks. I was able to kinda of throw it on the windshield of my truck and pull it, it immediately soaked up water. Well worth the money

Never Had a Towel Like This
Size: 1 Pack (24" x 36")
Although I've bought many "premium" drying towels, none come even close to this one. It is effortless, no pressure needed to dry. If it touches a drop of water, it's gone. I dried a full size SUV top to bottom, and the towel barely felt damp. It even pulls water out from between body panels. Yes it does cost a lot, but I'm blown away by how quick this does the job. If you wash your car, you need this. My wife even asked if they make one like this for drying dogs. Would probably work great, but she can't have this one.

Magsafe car mount for a Tesla screen that is easy to adjust and holds the phone very well
Style: MagSafe Car Phone Holder, Style: MagSafe Car Phone Holder
I installed this mount on my 2018 Tesla Model 3 main display and it was easy to install - just loosen the wheels on the top and side clamp, put it in place and then tighten the clamps back down. There is a ball mount on the back which tightens as well that allows you to position and angle the phone mount so you can tilt it up or down or towards the driver. You can adjust the phone on the mount to where you want it - although the bar that holds the phone will hit the clamps in two spots so there are a couple of positions that don't work due to the design, but overall you can more or less put the phone where you want and and then tilt it any which way to you. The magnet connection is very firm but the phone also detaches relatively easily. The clamps so far are holding well on the screen. I really don't have a lot of complaints - except maybe that there's a couple of positions that don't work. It works well, installs quickly and easily and seems to hold well in use. I've had no problems so ar.
