Sir Paul Nurse

In his fifties, the Nobel Prize winning geneticist Sir Paul Nurse made a shocking discovery that revealed that his childhood was based on secrets and lies. No-one in his family was who he thought they were. Paul discusses his remarkable scientific achievements, his educational triumphs and the importance of failure, and how the unravelling of his own genetic certainties affected his life, his work and his views on nature versus nurture.
