Sioux Falls Scientists endorse The Science of Self for explaining The Science of Self The Science of Self (2009) Some of the most profound secrets about what it means to be human are now being revealed, thanks to the amazing tools of biotechnology. The Human Genome Project, completed in 2003, opened the book on the genetic instructions that go into making a human. Now other species are being studied at the same level of detail, providing astonishing insights into the whole range of life on Earth. Armed with these and other findings, scientists are beginning to address age-old mysteries, including these:
In 24 thought-provoking lectures designed for nonscientists, The Science of Self explores these and many other questions in today's exciting field of genomics, the study of the vast storehouse of information contained within chromosomes. Your professor is Princeton University biologist Lee M. Silver, an acclaimed teacher, scientist, and author of popular books on biotechnology, genetics, and its impact on society. As a participant in the ongoing revolution in biology for the past three decades, Professor Silver has seen his field radically transformed. Even so, he says that he and his colleagues are astonished by the pace of discoveries in recent years and by how much has been learned about the human condition from studying the basic ingredients in genes. "We're teasing out all of the secrets," he marvels. Enlivened by Dr. Silver's clear and enthusiastic presentation, The Science of Self is an unrivaled opportunity to investigate this dramatic new picture of our past, present, and future as a species. Professor Lee M. Silver is Professor of Molecular Biology and Public Affairs at Princeton University and teaches in both the Department of Molecular Biology and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He received his B.A. and M.S. in Physics form the University of Pennsylvania and his Ph.D. in Biophysics from Harvard University. His books include Challenging Nature and Remaking Eden.
