Jennifer Doudna's First Reactions to 2020 Nobel Prize Win

[@jellyofthefish2530]

I wish she was my thesis advisor .... And my mom

[@CellRus]

One of the things that I love that Jennifer mentioned here is that curiosity-driven science is absolutely critical in advancing our knowledge and technology development. This project started as something to try to understand how the bacteria's immune system work and nobody knows that it turns out to be a life-changing technology with such vast implication. People tend to think about translational science to be the one that will impact their lives and forgot about the basic research behind. But really, basic research is what drives everything forward and is what will give us the leap into the future.

[@TuanDang-pq9mt]

Beautiful comment!

[@Itandrungirl21]

An underrated perspective

[@nasseemmuttur7546]

Well said. Nowadays with more, moneymindedness, there is the tendency to look at applied research only. But people don't realise that without basic research, there is no applied research. In my university days, we could choose any research topic, but now you are proposed a selection. It's, very sad.

[@peterz53]

It's telling about her character that she recognizes others who played key roles.

[@mynameisthis1580]

Does she mention the broad institute, or the researcher from lithuania (Virginijus Siksnys) who submitted his CRISPR gene editing tool before Douda, but the paper was held for a long time and rejected without review? Did Douda mention that Virginijus was only able to publish in PNAS after Douda's article was fast-tracked for publication in science?

[@Carlos_GM.]

I don't see any recognition to Francis Mojica, the spanish microbiologist and researcher that discovered, described and named CRISPR. She said in 2017 that she learnt about the existence of CRISPR and became interested in it when she read the paper in which Mojica described and named CRISPR. She seems like a very nice person but she should mention it at some point, if not here at the online ceremony or something

[@sggr7708]

[@neoneoneofu]

The thing is that she does NOT mention the key people who deserve this prize at least as much as her.

[@Chainyanker007]

@@Carlos_GM. There were many researchers over the years whose work led to this momentous accomplishment. Read the book 'A Crack in Creation' by Doudna and S. Sternberg, she gives credit to numerous people and their contributions, each made crucial contributions. Too many to mention in this short interview. Read the book before complaining. Her and her collegue's work solved the critical issues of detailed gene editing down to a single nucleotide. Can't give the Nobel Prize to a few dozen people or more who made many other related discoveries about properties and attributes of this whole area of genomics.

It's great but we can't forget Francis Mojica's work. Without his work, it would have been so difficult to develop CRISPR as a genetic modification technique. Congratulations to these amazing women but the Nobel Prize must be for Francis Mojica, Emmanuelle Charpentier, and Jennifer Doudna. It is very important not to forget the value of basic research.

It's true that female scientists need more efforts to get the same level of male scientists, and usually get less opportunities than male scientists, even though sometimes females do better job-- from my experience .

Prof. Siksnys deserved the prize

[@Chainyanker007]

The Nobel committee has spoken. All of the Nobel prizes in chemistry, physics, medicine were awarded to scientists whose work would not have been possible but for those that came before them with their contributions, however recent or distant in time. That accumulated body of knowledge led the laureates to accomplish the things for which they received the Prize. Often the past contributors themselves won the Nobel Prize earlier.

[@zainabmasood972]

An inspiration :)

[@doc_fu]

Virginijus Siksnys is the man behind the scene. It's so sad to see this..

[@doc_fu]

“Doudna and Charpentier reported their findings in a landmark Science paper published online on 28 June 2012. But it took Šikšnys 5 months to publish his study; it was rejected by Cell and Cell Reports, and then moved slowly through editing at the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), which published it online on 25 September 2012.” - sciencemag.org

[@farkhoddle6093]

It's unfortunate the Nobel committee left out Feng Zhang. What most people not in the field don't realize is that MIT Harvard Feng Zhang holds the most of the patents to CRISPR in the USA..not Doudna or Carpentier. It was very much geopolitically driven decision to leave Zhang out. But he's still young I'm sure he will get one eventually

[@tommyjjarboe]

Fang's paper had nit figured out the importance of tracer RNA and didn't have the mechanics of HNH and was vastly inferior to Doudna's paper. They were both submitted to Nature to be published at the same time and it was found the Doudna's and Charpentier's was vastly more detailed. Litigation on the patents was litigated heavily and feng stabbed her in the back rushing to jp morgan to try and cut her out. The behind the scenes in the tension between Brode and Berkeley is cut throat. Feng finally admitted her paper was superior because it explained how the significance of tracer that Feng hadnt figured out ita role. 🧬🔬🧫🙌

SCIENTIFIC MERICLE OF QUR'AN SKY A PROTECTING ROOF NO MAGNETIC FIELD NO LIFE ON EARTH What If Massive Solar Storm Hit the Earth? Almighty Allah says: وجعلنا السماء سقفا محفوظا و هم عن آياتها معرضون ( الأنبياء : ٣٢) " And We have made the sky as a roof withheld (from them).Yet they turn from its portents(which these things point to) (Qur'an,21:32) The verse indicates to the protection from solar storms, meteors bombardments and other cosmic strikes which pose a very serious threat to living things on Earth. Asteroids and meteorites have penetrated the atmosphere and hit the earth throughout the course of history. The word "السماء" (Sama) in above verse means the whole universe.. It's meaning is vast. The " سقفا محفوظا" ( Protecting roof) has vast meaning which means all magnetic fields the modern science has come to know from original magnetic field to atmospheric layers around the earth. 1. Troposphere 2. Stratosphere 3. Ozone 4. Mesosphere 5. Thermosphere 6. Ionosphere 7. Exosphere Functions of these layere are to protect Earth from : 1- All weathers occur in troposphere. If these layers have not been existed, life could not be possible. Moreover most of Oxygen occurs in this region which is responsible for the life of Aerobic organisms. 2. Ozone layer absorbs Ultra Voilet Radiations and thus protects life from hazardous radiations of the Sun.Moreover it provides "Green House Effect" which is responsible for maintaining comfortable temperature on Earth. 3. Mesosphere burns up million of meteors striking the Earth and thus protects Earth from these meteors. 4. Exosphere absorbs harmful radiations from the sun protecting layers underneath. These explanations make clear the meaning of " السماء" (sky) in the above mentioned verse. We could not understand what Almighty Allah meant by " A canopy well guarded" until we came to know findings of modern sciences. Who can tell us about 1500 years ago that our life on Earth well protected by these megnatic fields We are thankful of Almighty Allah for providing this " سقفا محفوظا". Almighty Allah says: " We shall show them Our Signs on the horizons and within their own selves until it will be clear unto them that He is the Truth.Doth not thy Lord suffice,since He is Witness over all things".
