Event Details

Join us for the Pacific Beach Library's monthly book discussion!  On March 9th we will discuss The Code Breaker by Walter Isaacson.  

Description: Driven by a passion to understand how nature works and to turn discoveries into inventions, pioneering scientist Jennifer Doudna, along with her colleagues and rivals, 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, this invention launched a revolution that will allow us to cure diseases, and fend off viruses. Isaacson explores the development of CRISPR and the race to create vaccines for coronavirus which will hasten our transition to the next great innovation revolution.
