Caught on WNYC-FM Leonard Lopate Show today 5/17/2016. To listen to the archived show: http://www.wnyc.org/story/breaking-down-building-blocks-life-pulitzer-prize-winner-siddhartha-mukherjee/ <http://www.wnyc.org/story/breaking-down-building-blocks-life-pulitzer-prize-winner-siddhartha-mukherjee/>
Siddhartha Mukherjee, MD, the author of The Emperor of All Maladies and the new book, *The Gene: An Intimate History <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1476733503/wnycorg-20/>*, used the term origami to explain the way seeming-nonsense parts of the genetic code give directions for the folding of molecules. The origami reference was an extra treat in a very good interview. I don't know if Dr. Mukherjee is a folder, but his wife, the artist Sara Sze, incorporates origami in her work: see, eg. http://maharam.com/products/frog-and-crane/colors/001 http://curatorsintl.org/exhibitions/the-paper-sculpture-show Karen Sustaining Member of WNYC radio Karen Reeds [email protected] Karen Reeds, co-ringleader, Princeton Public Library Origami Group.
