Conversation with Nobel Prize-winning structural biologist Venki Ramakrishnan
Bestselling author Bill Bryson (A Walk in the Woods) called it, “Utterly fascinating,” and said, “Venki Ramakrishnan's ability to take the most challenging subjects and make them clear, enthralling and packed with insights fills me with awe.” LitHub called him “a knockout writer.”

Ramakrishnan shared the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on the nature of ribosomes, the molecular machines found in all living cells that synthesize proteins by translating the genetic information carried by messenger RNA. As the site within living cells where the genetic information is read to synthesise proteins from amino acids, improved understanding of the ribosome has yielded many fundamental biological insights.
