Welcome to Biotech Nation

Description

Welcome to BioTech Nation is a fast-paced account of Gunn's accidental plunge into the "biotech rabbit hole." Combining a first-person chronicle of the jittery beginnings of the weekly radio segment BioTech Nation with her trademark entertaining and penetrating reporting, Gunn uncovers the inner workings of a little-understood industry in the midst of explosive growth and with far-reaching impact. You'll learn about some of the exciting developments happening in biotech today - viruses that kill tumor cells, enzymes that produce cost-effective ethanol - along with behind-the-scenes portraits of the driven, arrogant, and visionary movers and shakers of this global industry.
