About this Event

Boulder's own Thomas R. Cech will speak about and sign his new book, The Catalyst: RNA and the Quest to Unlock Life's Deepest Secrets, on Tuesday, December 10th at 6:30pm, at Boulder Bookstore.


About the Book:

For over half a century, DNA has dominated science and the popular imagination as the “secret of life.” But over the last several decades, a quiet revolution has taken place. In a series of breathtaking discoveries, the biochemist Thomas R. Cech and a diverse cast of brilliant scientists have revealed that RNA—long overlooked as the passive servant of DNA—sits at the center of biology’s greatest mysteries: How did life begin? What makes us human? Why do we get sick and grow old? In The Catalyst, Cech finally brings together years of research to demonstrate that RNA is the true key to understanding life on Earth, from its very origins to our future in the twenty-first century.

Written by one of our foremost scientists, Professor at CU Boulder, and Colorado’s first Nobel Prize laureate, The Catalyst is a must-read guide to the present and future of biology and medicine.
