A life in science - with Elizabeth Blackburn

Elizabeth Blackburn grew up in Hobart on the Australian island of Tasmania. It was a long journey from there to a Nobel prize and the lab she runs at the University of California in San Francisco. Malaria researcher Clare Smith is also a Hobart girl, and she's trying to decide whether to follow in Blackburn's footsteps and move overseas after she finishes her PhD. Karina Zillner is from Germany. Like Clare, she's in the final stages of a PhD. She's developed a method for analysing sections of repetitive DNA. Karina hopes her technique might be used in Blackburn's lab, where they study telomeres — repetitive sections of DNA that protect the ends of chromosomes.

Very nice! Her opinion on how hypotheses are treated nowadays was so true!

Lived in Australia until age 25 and America until now. Strange how she has an English accent.

We must live close to the nature, it is really progressive.

If you want to read something interesting on how hypothesis are treated at the present and for the last 40+ years, read the book from Nina Teicholz - in a word, unbelievable.
