Breaker(2021),Walter Isaacson relates how a never-ending passion for science and discovery led Jennifer Doudna,with the help of an array of other scientists,to discover howbacteria fends off attacking viruses,understand the CRISPRsystem it uses,and find ways to implement it in humans.  \nDoudna's breakthroughs offer promising access to never-beforereached frontiers in human health,with the potential to cure orprevent previously incurable diseases-including COVID-19.  \n# Insights from Chapter 1\n\n\\#1  \nAfter her parents moved from Washington,DC,to Hilo,Hawaii,Jennifer Doudna had a rough childhood trying to fit in.Thispushed her to focus on science and books  \n\\#2  \nAmid the rich natural environment of Hawaii,Doudna was mostfascinated by the\"sleeping grass,\"which curls its fern-likeleaves whenever touched.  \n\\#3  \nOne day after coming back from school,Doudna found JamesWatson's The Double Helix on her bed,placed there by her father.After reading about the discovery of DNA,she realized that shewanted to be a scientist.  \n# Insights from Chapter 2\n\n## \\#1\n\nWatson's workwas in part inspired by English naturalist CharlesDarwin,who conducted multiple researches in the nineteenthcentury to figure out the mechanism that allowed traits to betransmitted across multiple generations.  \n## \\#2\n\nAfter collecting carcasses of what he thought were differentbirds,Darwin was surprised to later discover they actually allwere different species of finches.  \n## \\#3\n\nFor many years,Darwin was too afraid to publish his theory ofnatural selection,thinking that it was too heretical for its time.  \n# Insights from Chapter 3\n\n\\#1  \nNucleic acids are the substance responsible for heredity.Theseacids come in two varieties:ribonucleic acid(RNA)and deoxyri-bonucleic acid(DNA).  \n\\#2  \nWatson studied viruses that attack bacteria,called“phages,”which is short for bacteriophages.  \n\\#3  \nWatson was intrigued by X-ray crystallography,which entailedshining an X-ray through DNA to determine its structure bystudying the shadows it projected.  \n\\#4  \nWatson met Francis Crickat the
