Nobel Week Dialogue

There hasn't been much blogging over the last two weeks, mainly because I have been blogging for a special event preceding the official Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm. 

"Nobel Week Dialogue" was a day-long symposium organized by the Nobel committee and other sponsors on December 9. The topic was "The Genomic Revolution and its Impact on Society" and it featured many science and policy leaders including Eric Lander, Steven Chu, James Watson and Craig Mello. 

I was invited to write for this event and I have four posts, mainly historical and philosophical, contemplating aspects of the genomic revolution.

1. Physicists in Biology; And Other Quirks of the Genomic Age.

2. An interview with Watson and Crick by Horace Freeland Judson.

3. How they did it.

4. The Third Age of Molecular Biology.
