Guan Cha Zhe Wang· 2025-11-16 09:28
基因组是指导手册般的"生命之书"?基因是"自私"的?生命的意义何在?数十年生物学研究的积累,已 经颠覆了很多"传统认知"。近日,观察者网科普专栏作者岑少宇对话《生命传》的作者、曾任《自然》 杂志编辑20年的菲利普·鲍尔(Philip Ball),探讨了相关问题。 与观察者网视频对话的菲利普·鲍尔 观察者网 观察者网:《生命传》(How Life Works)读来给人带来很多启发,体现了您学术交叉的背景。这似 乎长期贯穿您的学术生涯和科普著作,最初在牛津学习化学,很快就转向了物理方向,在布里斯托尔大 学获得博士学位。为什么会有这样的转变? 菲利普·鲍尔:说来话长,但我会尽量说得简短一些。在从牛津到布里斯托尔之间,有两年时间,我是 一个摇滚乐队的成员。两年后,我觉得如果不回到学术界,可能就永远也回不去了。 于是我联系了我的牛津导师,问他有没有可以申请的人选建议。他推荐了布里斯托尔的鲍勃·埃弗斯, 因为他们的研究领域相似。我在牛津从事化学领域的表面相变研究,这是一种既可以在化学系,也可以 在物理系进行的工作。而我在布里斯托尔的导师当时也在做类似的研究,观察表面的行为,但他碰巧是 在物理系。 所以,我在牛津的时候就已 ...
