Eradicating Deafness?
How did American geneticists go from fearing the dysgenic effects of deaf intermarriage to considering modern biotechnology a threat for Deaf culture? This book provides insight into changing ideas of what deafness is, what science and medicine should achieve, and to the transformative effect of exchange between scientists and deaf communities.

The Code Breaker -- Young Readers Edition
Walter Isaacson’s #1 New York Times bestselling history of our third scientific revolution: CRISPR, gene editing, and the quest to understand the code of life itself, is now adapted for young readers! When Jennifer Doudna was a sixth grader in Hilo, Hawaii, she came home from school one afternoon and found a book on her bed. It was The Double Helix, James Watson’s account of how he and Francis Crick had discovered the structure of DNA, the spiral-staircase molecule that carries the genetic instruction code for all forms of life. This book guided Jennifer Doudna to focus her studies not on DNA, but on what seemed to take a backseat in biochemistry: figuring out the structure of RNA, a clo...
Measuring difference, numbering normal
This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY) open access license. This book is available as an open access ebook under a CC-BY licence. Measurements, and their manipulation, have been underestimated as crucial historical forces motivating and guiding the way we think about disability. Using measurement technology as a lens, and examining in particular the measurement of hearing and breathing, this book draws together several existing discussions on disability, phenomenology, healthcare, medical practice, big data, embodiment, and emerging medical and scientific technologies around the turn of the twentieth century. These are popular topics of scholarly attention but have not, until now, been considered as interconnected topics within a single book. As such, this work connects several important, and usually separate academic subject areas and historical specialisms. The standards embedded in instrumentation created strict, but, ultimately arbitrary thresholds of what is categorised as normal and abnormal. Considering these standards from a long historical perspective reveals how these dividing lines shifted when pushed.
The Code Breaker
The best-selling author of Leonardo da Vinci and Steve Jobs returns. In 2012, Nobel Prize winning scientist Jennifer Doudna hit upon an invention that will transform the future of 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. It has already been deployed to cure deadly diseases, fight the coronavirus pandemic of 2020, and make inheritable changes in the genes of babies. But what does that mean for humanity? Should we be hacking our own DNA to make us less susceptible to disease? Should we democratise the technology that would allow parents to enhance their kids? After discovering this CRISPR, Doudna is now wrestling these even bigger issues. THE CODE BREAKERS is an examination of how life as we know it is about to change – and a brilliant portrayal of the woman leading the way.
»Deaf History« als Wissenschaftsgeschichte
Seit 1945 gab es in westlichen Ländern und der Sowjetunion neue Forschungsimpulse zur Kommunikation gehörloser Menschen, die u.a. über internationale Konferenzen der UNESCO und des Weltverbands der Gehörlosen im geteilten Deutschland alte Traditionen der Sprachvermittlung in Frage stellten. Anja Werner analysiert historisch die Erforschung nationaler Gebärdensprachen im interdisziplinären Dialog mit der zeitgleich stattfindenden Entwicklung hörverstärkender Innenohrprothesen (Cochlea-Implantate). Sie verdeutlicht, dass konstruktive Wissenschaftskooperation nötig ist, um die mit der Kommunikation tauber Menschen verbundenen Herausforderungen komplett zu erfassen - aber auch, um Möglichkeiten zum Fortschritt aufzuzeigen.
Kod życia. Jennifer Doudna, edycja genów i przyszłość ludzkości
Nowa znakomita książka wybitnego biografa, autora bestsellerów Steve Jobs i Leonardo da Vinci. Pasjonująca opowieść o noblistce Jennifer Doudnie i innych wybitnych naukowcach, którzy odkrywają niesamowite tajemnice natury i życia, by pchnąć jeszcze dalej rozwój ludzkości. Zwroty akcji, emocje, rywalizacja grup badawczych i ważne pytania z pogranicza filozofii, etyki i moralności. Pewnego dnia uczennica szóstej klasy Jennifer Doudna po powrocie do domu ze szkoły odkryła, że tato zostawił jej na łóżku książkę „Podwójna helisa”. Ucieszyła się, myśląc, że to jeden z tych kryminałów, które tak uwielbia. Kiedy zaczęła ją czytać w deszczową sobotę, odkry...
Livets kod : Den genetiska revolutionen och mänsklighetens framtid
För första gången i mänsklighetens historia kan vi nu gå in i våra gener och ändra i deras sammansättning. För sin upptäckt av gensaxen CRISPR belönades biokemiforskaren Jennifer Doudna med Nobelpriset. Genredigeringen innebär stora möjligheter för oss att kunna bota svåra sjukdomar, bekämpa pandemier och få friskare barn. Men samtidigt måste vi sätta gränser för hur långt vi kan gå med denna revolutionerande teknik. Hamnar tekniken i fel händer och utnyttjas för tvivelaktiga syften kan det få förödande konsekvenser för oss alla. I Livets kod berättar den internationellt bästsäljande biografen Walter Isaacson om hur vårt liv förändras i grunden genom tillgången till denna revolutionerande teknik – och om den kvinna som knäckte koden.
O código da vida
O retrato de Jennifer Doudna, vencedora do Prémio Nobel da Química, por um dos mais reputados biógrafos da atualidade. Em 2020, Jennifer Doudna recebeu, com Emmanuelle Charpentier, o Prémio Nobel da Química pela identificação da CRISPR-Cas9, uma ferramenta de edição do ADN que permite tratar doenças graves ou combater vírus - foi esta descoberta revolucionária que facilitou o desenvolvimento das vacinas contra a covid-19. Contudo, abre caminho para um mundo por explorar: em breve, poderemos escolher a altura ou a cor dos olhos de uma criança. Mas será correto fazê-lo? No que respeita à edição genética, onde se traça o limite? E quem deve traçá-lo? Na vanguarda deste deb...
