Mukherjee still has some beautiful prose of any writer bar none, not just medical. But God, the book is boring. With each new aspect brought forth, I'm sick of going back in time to learn the history ...Mukherjee still has some beautiful prose of any writer bar none, not just medical. But God, the book is boring. With each new aspect brought forth, I'm sick of going back in time to learn the history of such discovery without things progressively coming together as part of a broader arc. That said, it's always nice to brush up on some biology.(展开)
这本书适合用眼睛阅读,听的话会漏掉细节。看和听的感受完全不一样,听会失去耐心,而看会看得津津有味。Shinya Yamanaka那部分好精彩!

But genes are lifeless without cells. The real “raw material” of the human body is not information, but the way that information is enlivened, decoded, transformed, and integrated—i.e., by cells.(展开)
This book is a perfect combination of science and story, which gives me a new angle to see us humans in terms of the simplest unit— cell. I can’t agree more with the philosophy the author expresses: “To build new humans out of cells, we need knowledge th...

一本写得很漂亮的高中生物学教材。这本书延续了作者在《the emperor of all maladies》书中的写作风格,流畅,温和,深入浅出。但全书逻辑结构不算太紧密,怀疑是是收到了疫情打断写作的影响。一本很值得读很有意思的好书,但是不如《the emperor of all maladies》

和前两本的写作方式很像,从细胞等系统医学突破的历史故事展开进而解释一些医学概念,专业术语较多。对贺建奎的描述挺到位:有野心,不安分,无法区分人体实验对象和水族箱里的鱼类。

「内行看门道外行看热闹」比如我就可爱看各种科学家追名逐利或是在灰色地带疯狂试探的精彩八卦了💅 这位作者总能把晦涩难懂的科学知识以轻松有趣的故事形式娓娓道来,而既然40年前还备受争议的ivf如今也早已见怪不怪地为大众所接受,那不知接下来的细胞工程还会为人类社会带来多大的改变呢?
