    This is one of those rare Biographics where I am personally thankful to the man in question. A number of medical conditions I suffer have been made a great deal less burdensome, indeed survivable, thanks to Dr. Sanger and his work. There's something truly humbling about someone who's saved your life a few times over, and yet declines the offer of a knighthood.

      Too bad in modern academia researchers (especially ph.ds and post docs) are used for slave labor to push poorly peer reviewed and straight up unfinished papers in order to please publishers and to be able to secure the grants they need.

    In the 1990's I worked as a secretary in the human resources department of a biopharmaceutical corporation that used the human DNA sequence to develop protein and antibody drugs. While I wasn't working in any of the labs, I had the opportunity to learn about the history of the work and how these discoveries meant new, innovative treatments for diseases. Thanks for rekindling those wonderful memories!

      Full-time? Who will go for groceries? Scrub the bathtub? Separate the recyclables and compostibles? I recommend no more than 13 hours a day. Writers write, therefore can say, accurately, "I am a writer" - you are allowed to say that out loud to other humans. The first time I made that very statement put loud I realized that I had "crossed the border". The secret to writing (besides pens, pencils, paper, keyboards grammar, spelling, making up better words) is, hold on to something - write every day. Ten minutes, ten hours, it doesn't matter. What matters is the "everyday no matter what" mindset manifest in the physical act of writing...everyday. Also find a platform that allows for feedback (for contemplation, not arguments) and keep on growing. I know some writers who keep going back to their favorite works over and over. Living death to a writer. I have, literally seventeen hundred songs (one-third very good) as a reference source, in a cardboard box. I also like William Burrough's "cut-and-paste technique" just to keep things hopping, especially if you are a John Lennon fan. I am a writer. Get used to saying that bit with authority. Some folk may disagree, that's not a problem. Be well and fer crissakes have fun.

    Honestly, calling him a Titan of Science doesnt do him justice, maybe Father of the Human Genome does but man, this man was a legend.

    I note all the many deserving contenders suggested/submitted below that quite rightly definitely deserve some kind of merit . Though I reckon Sir Peter Mansfield English Physicist, winner of Nobel peace prize and amongst many other things inventor of the MRI machine (my father in-law did some work for him when he was designing and constructing this innovative machine, he said he was such an unassuming and humble guy), I think he definitely deserves some kind of accolade and acknowledgment from your many viewers and subscribers, at least for what he has also contributed to the wellbeing of others, just to think of how many peoples lives that Peter must have been instrumental in saving over the years is simply quite staggering.

  • @bartus9891
    @bartus9891 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I generally like your video's a lot, you just missed the mark with the explanation of sanger sequencing. The ddNTP does not peal anything off. A ddNTP hinders a DNA strain from being replicated further by blocking the DNA polymerase at that site. By mixing normal dNTP's and ddNTP's (one for each aminoacid A, T, C, G) the reaction is stopped randomly. By then analysing the length of each DNA string and arranging them it can be descerned for each position if a A, T, G, or C is incoorperated

    Suggestions for Biographics, Stan Lee, Krishnamurti the astrologer creator of Krishnamurti Padhati Jyotish Sidereal Astrology , two people intrinsically linked to Eugenics Margaret Sanger founder of Planned parenthood , Sir Francis Galton who couined the term Eugenics and wrote the books that first inspired the Eugenics out of which came Genetics , Robert Malthus first major proponent of Population Control , Phil Jackson winningest coach of Championships in NBA history , the Koch brothers particularly the one who passed away recently. John Henrik Clarke the blind historian, And Ra Un Nefer Amen I prodigious author of many subjects ( probably the most prolific writer on occult practices in history. ) and founder of the Ausar Auset Society International whom many consider a Sage or Avatar. Also for your other channel Slave Breeding in western world. The documentary MAAFA 21 is good source to start for Eugenics movement. Goodbye Uncle Tom has sequence at the end of the Movie that gives a visual representation of what Slave Breeding plantations were like. There are alot of good resources for it all over the internet. Check out book on it by the name of Slave Breeding plantations. Also Slavery in Brazil and the United States book will help with that as well.

    Watson and Crick stole the data from their aid, who wasn't credited because their aid was a woman. Watson and Crick wouldn't have gotten anywhere without her, and Sanger wouldn't have gotten anywhere without their stolen work. Rosalind Franklin deserves the credit she had stolen, and Watson and Crick need to be taken down a few pegs. Do a video on her - the true person behind the discovery of the structure of DNA, and who made much of Sanger's work possible.
