Thomas Cech, biochemist, received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1989 for his pioneering work on the properties of RNA. His new book is The Catalyst: RNA and the Quest to Unlock Life's Deepest Secrets (2024), one of Lit Hub’s “Most Anticipated Books of the Year.” For over half a century, DNA has dominated science and the popular imagination as the “secret of life.” But over the last several decades, a quiet revolution has taken place. In a series of breathtaking discoveries, Cech and a diverse cast of brilliant scientists have revealed that RNA ― long overlooked as the passive servant of DNA―sits at the center of biology’s greatest mysteries: How did life begin? What makes us human? Why do we get sick and grow old?
