Saved by science : the hope and promise of synthetic biology / Dr. Mark J. Poznansky, PhD. by Poznansky, Mark J., author. Toronto : ECW Press, [2020] Subjects Synthetic biology.   Science -- Forecasting. ISBN:  9781770415355 (hardcover) : 1770415351 (hardcover) Description:  xiii, 210 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "With all the advances in science in the last century, why are there still so many infectious diseases? Why haven't we found cures for difficult cancers? Why hasn't any major headway been made in the treatment of mental illness? Why did 36 million people die of hunger in 2019? How do we expect to feed the additional two to three billion people expected by 2050? And how do we intend to stop, and not only that but reverse, global warming and the climate crisis? In Saved by Science, scientist Mark Poznansky examines the many crises facing humanity while encouraging us with the promise of an emerging solution: synthetic biology. This is the science of building simple organisms, or 'biological apps,' to make manufacturing greener, energy production more sustainable, agriculture more robust, and medicine more powerful and precise. Synthetic biology is the marriage of the digital revolution with a revolution in biology and genomics; some have even called it 'the fourth industrial revolution.' Accessible and informative, Saved by Science provides readers with hope for the future if we trust in and support the future of science"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 660.6 Po Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 660.6 Po Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 660.6 Po Checked In Add Copy to MyList
