"
Regenesis is a book about synthetic biology, which is written on a
semi-layman’s level, well just barely. It is an important subject that
many of us don’t realize is happening right now and has been for quite
some time. Also I like challenges and the book was a challenge to me to
see how much I understood. After each chapter I would say, 'ok, one more
down. Whew!' Another reason I finally finished the book is that I like
to complete things no matter how long it takes to do so. And frankly the
subject is important and relevant to my work as an executive recruiter,
who often has to search for scientists with genetics and genomic
backgrounds. But also I am a glutton for punishment. I just received
from Amazon my copy of Craig Venter’s new book 'Life at the Speed of
Light' about his adventure into synthetic biology. I thought it would be 'fun' to compare the two books whenever I finished the Venter book.
Let’s just hope it doesn’t take 8 months! Truthfully, I would rather be
sitting on a tropical beach reading a thriller, but in the interest of
science, I will plug along."
