Summary of sam apple's ravenous

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The story of modern cancer research begins with the sea urchin. In the early 1900s, German scientist Theodor Boveri turned to sea urchin eggs to answer one of the central questions in biology: how are the instructions for making a new organism passed from one generation to the next. #2 The first scientist to recognize that cancer is a disease of bad information was Hans Boveri, who studied the growth of sea urchin eggs in Naples. He thought that cancer cells might have abnormal chromosomes. #3 Warburg and Boveri were two completely different types of scientists. Warburg was a man of doubt, while Boveri was a man of doubt who waited over a decade before expanding on his theory. #4 Otto Warburg was a biochemist who was extremely devoted to his work. He had a passion for science that his father, Emil, had. However, he also had a passion for the living world, which his father did not.
