Dr Nick Lane (UCL Genetics, Evolution and Environment) has won the 2010 Royal Society Science Book Prize for his groundbreaking book Life Ascending. Dr Lane was also the first UCL Venture Research Fellow. His research examines the mystery at the heart of biology: the origins of complex life.

For those of you wanting more of Dr Lane, our colleagues at the Wellcome Trust have a podcast that goes more in depth:

  • Very interesting!!

  • excellent. His book, 'Power,Sex ,Suicide' -Mitochondria and the Meaning of Life,goes into great detail on this subject. Mitochondria are obviously not just 'batteries'.

  • Dr. Lane is fantastic! Wish there was more of him on youtube.

  • fyi, Lane recently published something along these lines in Nature: "The energetics of genome complexity"

  • wish there was more nick lane talks on youtube. his books are very interesting and very inspiring!

  • very interesting -- wish there was more!

  • Excellent questions to ask, and a very good mind to attempt to syllogise current frontier reseach in order to move forward.

    Frank quietly should stop cheap sniping and make some positive contribution. Quietly , frank.
