How the discovery of DNA changed the world (& my life) BBC/Science Museum

Nobel prize-winning geneticist Sir Paul Nurse on the amazing breakthroughs that followed the discovery of DNA - and how it directly impacted his own family.


"It's a twist of fate that although I have a long career in genetics, I never realised that my own family had a DNA secret..."

I loved working on this animation exploring the history and future of DNA research. It is voiced by pioneering geneticist Paul Nurse.
