So, Here's a Thought...

...is CRISPR, the gene editing tool biology or is it chemistry.

The Nobel committee, decided it was, in fact, the latter, awarding this year's Chemistry prize to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna for developing the tool. (This is the first time the prize has been jointly awarded to two women).

My dad once said that chemistry as a discipline would slowly be eroded away (we were talking about careers, before I got pushed out of science for having dyspraxia...yes, I'm still mad about it) with parts going to biology and parts to physics.

What I think this really means is that we need to start viewing science holistically. Understanding that it overlaps.

And we're in the age of biotech...
