Barbara McClintock, the Nobel Prize-winning geneticist, revolutionized our understanding of genetics with her discovery of “jumping genes” (transposable elements). Born in 1902 in Connecticut, McClintock’s groundbreaking research on maize genetics revealed the dynamic nature of DNA, challenging conventional beliefs at the time. This biography highlights her resilience in a male-dominated field, her meticulous experiments, and her eventual recognition as one of the greatest scientists in history. McClintock’s work laid the foundation for modern genetics and continues to influence fields like medicine and biotechnology. This book honors her legacy as a trailblazing scientist whose curiosity and dedication transformed biology.
