Nobel for Medicine 2009: Carol W. Greider's speech

Carol W. Greider's acceptance speech - this is really a scientific lecture of a summary of her genetic work, and runs 50 minutes.. her work in discovering and naming "telomerase", the enzymes in DNA/RNA that relate to aging, rejuvenation, and will help cure cancer by stopping it's telomerase from working by aging them rapidly and killing them by reversing the new growth process.. She's the Stephen Hawking of genetics, and her work will be more ground-breaking than Curie's or Einstein's over time.. the entire biotech and stem cell industry would not exist in present form without her work..
