Barbara McClintock: The Woman Who Heard Jumping Genes. The lone scientist whose persistence uncovered DNA's hidden secrets. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798271333668)

For years, no one believed her. Decades later, she changed genetics forever.

Barbara McClintock spent her career studying corn, and uncovered something extraordinary: genes could "jump" from one place to another. Her discovery defied the scientific consensus of her time, earning ridicule before earning her the Nobel Prize in 1983.

In The Woman Who Heard Jumping Genes, you'll meet the solitary genius who worked in quiet defiance, listening to what nature told her long before anyone else could hear it. Her story is a testament to patience, faith, and the transformative power of curiosity.

If you love stories of discovery and perseverance, of scientists who changed the rules by trusting their instincts, this book is for you.
